RANDY CHARLES ENGSTROM Peacefully and with great courage and dignity on Friday, June 18, 2004 at 9:00 a.m. as the school bell rang Randy lost his most courageous battle at his home. Gently eased from this world to a better place holding hands with those he loved the most to be greeted by his predeceased grandparents, Engstrom and Lindgren. Left in this world to miss Randy will be the "love of his life" Susan; his children, Michael, Megan; and stepsons, Jesse and Tyler of Winnipeg; as well Randys parents, Webb and Laura; brother David (Carole), nephews, Mark and Jeff all of Kenora; many wonderful uncles and aunts and cousins of Minneapolis, Calgary, Kenora and Winnipeg. Randy was a devoted school teacher at St. Johns High School, where he spent many years as Department Head of the Industrial Arts program and most recently teaching in Special Education. At the time of his diagnoses he was working toward his Post Baccalaureate at the University of Manitoba. Randy loved to learn as much as he loved to teach. Randy was an avid golfer and a member for many years at St. Boniface Golf Club. He had a beautiful swing and was known as "ERNIE ELS of St. B". Randy was a passionate and gifted woodworker. Evident in the home he built as well as many special projects for others. Randy was blessed with many good friendships because he was a good friend. His "sunshine" on cloudy days was his "Girlfriend" mother-in-law Jackie Harrison. We would like to thank Dr. Janice Mulder, Orit Weber, Myrna Brownlee, Caroline Hannah, as well as Kim, Tanis and our other HCAs and all our friends at St. Johns High School, and our dear friends that continue their support through this journey. A funeral service will be held on Friday, June 25 at 3:30 p.m. at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Blvd. Randys request was a donation to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9 or the charity of your choice.
