CHARLY J. NOVOTNY "CHIEF" On Friday, October 15, 2004 at Health Sciences Centre, Charly, aged 77 years, beloved husband of Emilie Novotny. Charly will be missed more that words can say by his three children, Jude (Rick), Charlie Jr. (Tannis), Monica (Derrick) and four grandchildren, Nolan, Owen, Charlotte and Bianca; as well as nephews and nieces. Charly was predeceased by his parents, Henry and Mary; brother Hank; and brother and best friend Ben. Born in Frank, AB, on July 21, 1927, Charly moved with his family to Winnipeg where they lived and farmed until 2002. Charly and Emilie enjoyed snowbirding in Arizona with Ben and Marj, meeting many new friends along their way. Dad insisted on a last road trip in October 2003 which took them to Halifax, NS where they enjoyed three months with Monica, Derrick and the girls. They returned home via the US and enjoyed a short stay in Florida. Their last trip was to Victoria, BC in April 2004 with Lil and Bob and enjoyed the warmth, greenery and beautiful flowers. "Chief" was a loving and dedicated husband, father, deda, uncle and friend, with a wonderful sense of humour, mischievous smile and passion for life. He will be sadly missed by all. At Charlys request no service will be held. A private gathering will take place at Christmas. We would like to thank family and friends for their support during this difficult time. A special thank you to Dr. Werier, Dr. L. Brandis, Lori and staff at CancerCare - MacCharles Unit, Jason RMT, Ken and Ted at OmniCare, Health Sciences Centre Emergency and D4 doctors and staff. In Charlys memory, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, 109-675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9. With heavy hearts and happy memories we say good bye. We love you Chief!
