LYALL ROBERT MEYERS Peacefully, Lyall Robert Meyers passed away on March 27, 2016 from Cancer. He was 70 years old. Lyall will be lovingly remembered by his two adoring children, Michael and Laura (Simon Teskey) and his two brothers, Neil and Marc (Deborah Slutchuk). Lyall was predeceased by his wife Barbara (Gorsky), father George (Barbara Sinder) and his mother Rita (Mickey Hoch). Lyall was a gentle, caring, thoughtful, knowledgeable and patient man who was loved and respected by so many. He was a true model of generosity and compassion. This was especially evident in his relationships with lifelong friends and in his passionate support of the organizations he was so proud to champion. All those who were fortunate enough to work with him in both his chosen profession as trusted pharmacist, or in various volunteer capacities benefited immensely. Lyall was particularly proud of his work with the Manitoba Celiac Association, Main Street Project and various bodybuilding associations, women's shelters and First Nation Bands throughout Manitoba. Lyall's love for golf, fishing, the arts and a great meal (especially on Wednesday nights) were always accompanied by wonderful, loving friends who filled his life with so much joy. When diagnosed, Lyall was preparing for the special role of Zaida' to his first grandchild. Lyall's enormous heart, sensitivity and silly wit will be cherished and shared in bedtime stories about Zaida for years to come. Funeral services were held on Monday, March 28 at the Shaarey Zedek Synagogue, officiated by Rabbi Allan Green and Marvin Slutchuk. Pallbearers were Wally Kane, Morley Jacobs, Simon Teskey, Dr. Michael Sheps, Marc Meyers, Joel Dudeck and Neil Baker. Honorary pallbearers were Lyall's loving stepfather, Mickey Hoch, and close friends Dr. Dhali Dhaliwal and Dr. Perry Gall. Michael and Laura wish to express their most sincere and heartfelt thanks to the staff at Health Sciences Centre for their kindness and diligent care. We also wish to express our wholehearted gratitude to Neil and Analyn Baker, Joel and Sharron Dudeck, Beverly and Morley Jacobs and Marsha Udow for their tireless efforts and true friendship. To everyone at Meyers' Drugstore and all the countless other dear friends and family who supported our father over the years and over these final difficult months, thank you' could never fully describe our deep appreciation. Memorial donations may be made to the Manitoba Celiac Society.
