JOSEPH (GRIZZLY) ROSMUS 1916 - 2003 It is with profound sadness that our family announces the passing of Joseph Rosmus, aged 87, on Friday, August 15, 2003. Joe is survived by Agnes, his wife of 62 years; his sons, Roy (Bonnie), Gary (Joan) and his daughter Deborah (Larry) granddaughters, Tracy (Todd), Carley (John), Constance and Melissa; grandsons, Jayson (Tara) and Carson. He is also survived by his great-grandchildren, Brittany, Emily, Hunter and Kylie. They would bring a smile to his face and were the light of his life. Dad is also survived by his brother Fred, brother-in-law Albert, nieces and nephews. Dad was happiest when his family was near, especially the little ones. His garden was his place of happiness, spending many hours caring for the nature for which he had great respect. Dad was a man who expressed himself and his love through what he did for all rather than what he said. His greatest wish for his family was that we would "have enough" for our families and that we would pass this desire on to our children. He expected us to conduct our lives with integrity, honesty and family values. I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much brighter. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough hellos and love to get you through the final good bye. Our family thanks Dr. Biala and the kind and compassionate doctors and nurses from emergency and U3 5th floor of the Seven Oaks Hospital. Their understanding and care helped us cope during a very difficult time. Our thanks and gratitude to Moms and Dads neighbours, Tracy and Lawrence, for taking time from their busy schedule to make time always to help Mom and Dad in any way they could. Your friendship is appreciated. The family has honoured Dads wishes by having a private family service by his favourite place, his garden. KNYSH FUNERAL CHAPEL 1020 MAIN STREET 582-0973
