JOHN SHUE PING TOYE 1938 - 2002 After a courageous battle with cancer, it is with great sadness we announce the passing of John, on March 7, 2002, with the family at his side. He is survived by his devoted wife Josette of 37 years; daughter Joyce; son Jeffrey; sister Shirley (Don) Wong; cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Jung Hong (Sam) and Toi Wa. In 1965, John graduated from the University of Manitoba from the Faculty of Engineering. He joined the Province of Manitobas Water Resources Branch in 1969, where he was involved in the flood damage reduction program and was responsible for the operation of the Winnipeg Floodway. He retired in 1994 after 25 years. Johns passion was to go fishing with his children and friends. He enjoyed watching football, listening to classical music, and playing bridge. He spent countless hours on his computer and enjoyed helping his friends with their computer problems. John will be missed by Gracie, whom he rescued from the Winnipeg Humane Society. The family would like to thank Dr. Harris and the staff of Oncology at the Grace Hospital, Dr. Chowdhury and the staff of CancerCare Manitoba at the H.S.C., Dr. Parham at Winnipeg Clinic, Johns physician Dr. Schellenberg, visiting nurse Mariette, the staff of Palliative Care at Riverview Health Centre, and all the friends who took John out for coffee and donuts and came to visit. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 12, at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 2528 King Edward St., with Pastor Rod Buck officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation Inc., (Donations Office, 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R3E 0V9) or to the Saint James Lutheran Church Building Fund (871 Cavalier Dr., Winnipeg, MB, R2Y 1C7.)
