HUGH ALLAN Our family is deeply saddened with the passing of our loving husband, father and grandfather, Hugh, on May 30, 2004. Hugh had just celebrated his 87th birthday. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Nora (Guile) son Garry (Sally) daughter Janice McQuarrie (Bob) & his five grandchildren, Allyson, Rhea, Mark, Jeff & Garth; brother Clyde & sisters, Jean Styan, Eleanor McRae & many, many friends. Special thanks to Floyd & Kae Lovelace & Eric Guile. Hughie was a well-respected photographer with the Winnipeg Tribune for 25 years, before starting his own business which he pursued with a passion. Throughout his career, he was an active news & sports photographer, photographing such events as M.G.A. golf tournaments & M.C.A. bonspiels. He also "covered" the Blue Bombers, the Jets & the Canada/Russia Hockey series. Although modest about his accomplishments & many awards, he was most proud of his inductions into both the Manitoba Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association Media Roll of Honour & the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Media Roll of Honour. An avid golfer & curler, Hugh was a man of many talents - artistic, creative and athletic. While a student at Gordon Bell High, he designed the school crest & played goal on the hockey team. At the age 85, he scored a hole-in-one at the Grey Owl Golf Tournament, of which he was a founding member & competitor for 43 years. He had a great sense of humour & loved dancing, gardening & nature. He & his beloved "Molly" enjoyed many wonderful trips and latterly, their home & many friends in Arizona. His grandchildren were the light of his life & many of his talents live on through them. The family would like to express their thanks to Dr. Susan Hauch & the staff of St. Boniface Hospital, Wards 6AS & 4E. Memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 5 at 2:00 p.m. at Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main St. Hughs body has been donated to the University of Manitoba for medical research.
