They were married on July 18, 1952 and had 42 wonderful years together. Dad will be lovingly remembered by his son Bill, wife Deb and grandsons, Eric and Graeme of Anola; son Bob, wife Judy and grandson Tyler of Winnipeg; daughter Carla and husband Wendell and grandsons, Johnathon and David of Lantz, NS; sisters, Grace (Ed Curry) and Dorothy (Howard Threlfall) in-laws, Ron Thomsen, Carol Thomsen, Greta Fox, Edith Thomsen and special friend Judy Wright. He will also be missed by the neighbours on Brewster Bay, the Thursday night beer buddies and the Saturday afternoon Legion gang. You know who you are and we thank you for your friendship and caring. Dad lived all his life in the Winnipeg area, growing up in Fort Rouge, buying his first house with Mom in Fort Garry and eventually settling down in Transcona. He retired from the CNR in 1990 after 39 years of service in the Fort Rouge, Symington and Transcona Shops. While sharpening skates for ten years at Eds Pro Shop in the Roland Michener and East End Arenas, he met many people in the community. He was always interested in sports and was deeply committed to the rebuilding of the Maple Leaf Community Club. He believed in contributing to his community and was involved in Senior Soccer, Major Junior Hockey and Intermediate Hockey over the years. A special thanks to Dr. John Ormiston, Dr. Hugh Smith and the nursing staff on 3rd Floor East at Concordia Hospital for the compassionate care you gave Dad during the last month of his life. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, September 26 at 7:00 p.m. at the Transcona Funeral Chapel, 1800 Day St. with Chaplain Paul Martin officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the charity of your choice. Inga, Together Again. Ed Transcona Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements.
