JOHN (JACK) MITCHELL December 18, 1923 - July 22, 2005 After a courageous battle with C.O.P.D., Dad passed away at the age of 81 with his loving wife and family at his side. Left to mourn his passing are his wife Anne of 62 years; children, Jackie (Lynn) Reykdal, Jay (Margie) Mitchell, Marilyn (Larry, deceased) McNeil; grandchildren, Curtis (Irene) Reykdal, Glenn (Joyce) Reykdal, Alanna (Dwayne) Dmyterko, Michelle Mitchell and John Matthew Mitchell; as well as several great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandson. Dad was born in West Kildonan at 409 Royal Ave. He served his country proudly during the Second World War on H.M.C.S. Montreal. He worked at CP Rail and took an early retirement in 1975 from Canada Post. He spent all his summers at McConnell Lake where he enjoyed many good times with family and friends. We would like to thank the staff at Seven Oaks Hospital (ward U2) for their care and compassion. As well, a special thanks to Riverview Health Centre for respite during his illness. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Salvation Army Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 1932, Winnipeg, MB R3C 3R2. Cremation has occurred and a graveside service will be held on Tuesday, July 26 at 2:00 p.m. at Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens, 4000 Portage Ave. with Pastor Andrew Porterfield officiating. I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever, And I will feast at the table spread for me.
