ARTHUR EDWARD DEACON June 26, 1922 - November 4, 2004 It is with sadness that the family announces the passing of Arthur Edward Deacon, aged 82 years, at the Deer Lodge Centre. He was predeceased by his wife Jessie; brother Roy (Diana) close cousins and in-laws. Left to cherish Arts memories are nephew Ed (Linda) Mann and their children Kiley and Danielle; special niece Lori Vanderlip; cousin Nina Jean (John) Giesbrecht and family; brother-in-law John Getrick; cousins, Eva Rome, Grace Nichol, Connie Davis, Charles (Irene) Smith and Lucy Smith. Arthur was born in Treesbank, MB and served in the Second World War from 1942 to 1946. He married his wife Jessie in 1961. Art was employed with the Manitoba Telephone Systems as a mechanic until his retirement in 1985. His favourite activities were bowling and cribbage. There wasnt an Army and Navy or Royal Canadian Legion that he didnt visit - chasing the elusive 29 hand. Art will be sadly missed for his great love of life, family fun, love of animals and his teasing, mischievous sense of humour. He was many things to many people. Cousin, brother-in-law, husband, surrogate father, great uncle, uncle and friend, especially to Whitey (Gary) and wife Marilyn. A memorial reception will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 11 at 724 Cathcart St., Winnipeg. The family would like to thank the staff at Deer Lodge Centre and the Grace Hospital. BARDAL FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORIUM 843 Sherbrook Street, 774-7474 Condolences: www.bardal.ca
