SAMUEL SCHNEIDER Sam passed away peacefully, at home, on October 14, 2017. He is mourned by his daughter Maureen (Ron Burek), son Dave (Jane Campbell), five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Sam was born on May 7, 1919 and was raised in the north end of Winnipeg. He served his country in the Navy during the Second World War as a radio operator. Later in life he was very involved in amateur radio as VE4KS. He and his wife Phyllis raised their family in St. Vital and Sam worked at Dowse Woodwork. Sam loved curling (at the Heather Curling Club), golf (first at St. Boniface Golf Club and then at Southside Golf Course) and fishing especially fly-in fishing at some of Dave's camps. Summers were spent at West Hawk Lake where they had a trailer in the seasonal campground. Sam was a member of Three Pillars Lodge where he made many friends. When Phyllis went into care at St. Norbert Personal Care Home, Sam moved to Meadowood Manor where he enjoyed crib, social activities and talking to everyone he met. The family would like to thank Bonnie for being such a good friend to Sam and to us as we cared for him in his last days. A celebration of Sam's life will be held Saturday, October 21, 2017 at Meadowood Manor Friendship Centre, 577 St. Anne's Rd. at 2:00 p.m. Pastor Dave Holland officiating. All parking is at St. Vital Arena, 580 St. Anne's Road due to parking restrictions at the Manor. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Salvation Army or Siloam Mission.
