DALLAS ( RAYMOND) DENBY November 19, 1943 - March 10, 2015 The family regrets to announce the passing of Dallas Denby at the age of 71 years. Dallas was born and raised in Winnipegosis, MB, in a family of fisherman. Early in his life Dallas joined the Canadian navy on a submarine crew and travelled to the UK. His life passion was looking through the windshield of his semitruck as he travelled across North America. He loved to be on the road and spent over 50 years of his life behind the big wheel. Dallas built his own trucking company and afterward had a successful long- term contract hauling steel across Canada. He met many fellow drivers and lifelong friends along the way. He loved to share stories and to have others join in his laughter. The love of Dallas’ life was his wife Joan ( Joanny) who passed away in 2004 and he never recovered from her loss. He leaves his daughters Cara ( Paul) Mazurik, Tammi Denby ( Grant McKercher); sons Travis ( Larissa) Denby, James ( Lisa) Denby; and his ten grandchildren Brendan, Cole, Payton, Austin, Ella, Julia, Phoebe, Reign, Oakley and Ava. He is also survived by his brother Harold ( Patricia). He was predeceased by his brothers Tiny ( Mary) and Howard; and sisters Phoebe ( Charlie) Hunt, Shirley ( Harry) Jackson, and Gail ( Dale). Dallas had a heart of gold and would give the shirt off of his back to anyone. He was a sensitive and generous soul and will be deeply missed by his family and friends. At Dallas’ request there will be no formal service, but please have a coffee at Sun Valley Restaurant in his honour, share a story and spread some laughter. A special thank you to Mike MacCoy and his loving family for going above and beyond to help us care for Dallas. Let us all hope we can have a friend like Mike to watch over us. Heartfelt thanks to the wonderful nurses and doctors at St. Boniface Palliative Care Unit, and to Dr. Hashmi and his family and staff for their care and attention. In lieu of flowers, follow Dallas’ example and be kind to others, offer endless loyalty and generosity to friends, and show your family allencompassing love.

Stephen was predeceased by his father Steve in 2007 and grandmother Josie Skwarok in 2012. He is survived by his mother Elsie of Parksville, BC, wife Sandie of Qualicum Beach, BC, sons Carver ( Krista Burt) and Cole of Red Deer, AB, sister Lynn Dutton ( Craig) of Qualicum Beach, BC, sister Debbie Dowhan of Parksville, BC, and sister Patty Johnson ( Alan Ursel) of Parksville, BC. Also survived by nieces Brandi ( Damien), Mila, Abbey, nephew William Dutton, niece Josie- Lynn, nephew Andrew Johnson ( Paige), and grand- niece Eva. Stephen ( Spook) grew up in Gimli until 1969, when the Dowhan family relocated to Rapid City, MB. He graduated from Elton Collegiate in 1975 and started work with Manitoba Hydro shortly thereafter. Stephen married Sandie in 1988. During his 40 years with Manitoba Hydro he lived and/ or worked in Brandon, Dorsey, Grand Rapids, Gillam, Shoal Lake, Selkirk and Stonewall. While working with Manitoba Hydro International in Saudi Arabia, Sandie and Spook moved to Qualicum Beach, BC to be close to his family. He was well known for his MacGyver lifestyle and can do attitude. His best known quote: “ how hard can it be”! He believed in community and served as Mayor in Gillam, volunteer fire fighter in Shoal Lake, fire works director and tech guy for Amazing Race in Rapid City to name a few. Stephen was the family trail blazer. He was the first to get involved with computers, satellite dishes, vitamins and electronics. His many passions included music, audio- visual media devices, hockey, triathalons, water skiing, swimming, skydiving and scuba diving. His favourite toy was his Harley motorcycle. His latest love was scuba diving and he had planned to start his own business. He was a gifted hockey player and coach as well as a soccer coach. The Blue Bombers lost a very loyal fan! His favourite hockey team was the one his sons were part of. Stephen was a kind, gentle man, a son, a brother, a husband, a father, an uncle, a friend and coach. He was a patient man, always willing to share his knowledge, his love, quick smile and laughter. Everyone had to see his newest gadget or toy because he always had the first and best! Spook made friends easily and anyone who knew him was his friend and a friend for life. The family invites everyone who knew Stephen to join us on June 13 in Rapid City for a celebration of his life. A graveside memorial will take place at 12: 00 noon, followed by a lunch from 1: 00 p. m. to 3: 00 p. m. at Rapid City Legion.

THOMSON “ IN THE PARK” 204- 925- 1120 Condolences may be sent to www. thomsoninthepark. com SHIRLEY LORRAINE FARGEY Born April 22, 1928 It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great- grandmother, Shirley Fargey, on Thursday, March 12, 2015, with her family at her side. Left to cherish Shirley’s memory are her children, Lorraine/ Lori ( Rick), Vance and Sandra/ Sandy ( Rob); her grandchildren, Samantha ( Kevin), Carissa ( Ryan), Megan ( Robert), Aaron and Justin; greatgrandchildren, Robert, Benjamin and Sadie; cousin Moira ( Herb) Nixon; nieces, Carol ( Rae) Campbell and Joyce ( Mike) Hanson- Peterson; nephew Tim ( Elizabeth) Fargey; as well as several great- nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Helena and Harold; brothers, Fraser ( Nell), Gordon ( Babe) and Jack ( Anne); and life- long friends, Marian Eggar ( nee Medland), Flora Stacey ( nee McDonald) and Ruth Frith ( nee McDonald). Mom was born in the Fargey Family home in La Riviere, Manitoba. She enjoyed her childhood and had many fond memories as the youngest child and only daughter. Mom commuted by train to Manitoba School for the Deaf, and when MSD was converted to a training facility at the time the Second World War broke out, Saskatoon School for the Deaf. She loved playing basketball and curling, and enjoyed watching many other sports over the years. After her father’s passing in 1955, Mom moved with her Mother to Winnipeg, Manitoba. They shared a home at 776 Garfield Street, creating many special memories together. Each time we drove by, Mom would remark about how much she loved the home she shared with her Mother. Mom was employed at the Nutty Club and later the Highway Services Building. Once Mom became a parent, her priority was building a loving home for her three children, and Mom dedicated many years of her life to providing for them in the best way possible under challenging circumstances. This devotion and compassion for her children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren is her legacy to each of us as her love was unconditional and without limit. This is what we all think of when we reflect on our life with our Mom. A Celebration of Mom’s Life will be held in Deaf Centre Manitoba, 285 Pembina Highway, Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Monday, March 16, 2015 at 11: 30 a. m. The family would like to thank Dr. Heather Frame, Christine Hayden and the wonderful staff of Extendicare Oakview Place for their compassionate care and friendship.

In October 2014, Jim was heartbroken by the loss of his beloved first born namesake grandson, Jared James Daoust. They have once again joined hands and together are charming the angels with their wit, grace and good nature while watching over our family. Cherishing the memory of their 59 years of marriage is his wife, Helene ( Schmidt) who never ceased to be grateful for the gift of Jim in her life. Jim will be forever loved by his only son, Terence ( Angela Meyer), his beloved only granddaughter, Erica, his heart’s delight greatgranddaughter, Brooke, and his only Flynn grandson, Kyle ( Brie), all of whom he was so proud. Terry followed in his father’s footsteps at the U of M, earning a Commerce degree, and brought to his own family life the many qualities he admired in his father. Jim is deeply loved by his only daughter, Leslie Anne ( Claude Lambert) and by his youngest grandson, Aaron Daoust, who brought him great joy. Leslie’s devotion to her father was endless and she provided him with daily gourmet delights when dietary restrictions were mandated. The addition of daughter- in- law Angela and son- in- law Claude to our family brought Jim happiness and new perspectives. Lexi, the Shih Tzu, added a previously unexperienced dimension to Jim’s life. He was comforted when Lexi ( Little Dog) was brought to the hospital for a final snuggle with her Grandpa. Jim will be sadly missed by his sister, Betty Anne ( Jim Gaynor), their children, Tom, Eileen ( Scott Nowicki) and their family. He is survived by his sister, Patricia ( Doug Roche) of Edmonton, her children Mary ( Randy Morin), Tom, Richard ( Roma), Kevin ( Diane) and their families. Jim was predeceased by his brother- in- law Syl McGoey in 1992. He is also remembered by his brothers and sisters- in- law, Leonard and Adeline Schmidt of Winnipeg, and Joe and Michele Schmidt of Toronto and their children, Stephen ( Donna Yau), Joanne ( Jeff Crews), Matthew ( Alice), Ryan ( Jeff Van Poucke), Kevin and their families. Jim was born in Winnipeg in 1930 to John Francis and Florence Flynn. He attended Laura Secord and St. Ignatius schools, and St Paul’s high school. He graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1951 with a Commerce degree. During his school and university years he was the recipient of many scholarships and awards. Jim was employed with the Royal Bank, Imperial Oil and for 31 years with Great- West Life as a Systems Analyst, retiring in 1991. Fate brought Jim and Helene together in August of 1953 when they shared a desk in the accountant's department at the Royal Bank, Grain Exchange Branch. They were married several years later, living and raising their family in Winnipeg. Exploring Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Ireland were travel highlights, as were many trips to Hawaii where the Gaynors regularly gathered together family and friends. Jim and Helene found themselves in Europe ( Netherlands, France and England) for the 50th anniversary celebration of VE day, where Canadians were so welcomed and honoured. A Rhine cruise fulfilled Helene’s desire to visit Austria, her father’s birthplace. US coastal motor trips were a favourite get- away, as were trips to upstate New York to visit relatives. Visiting Joe and Michele in Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto and Muskoka were also fun family times. Terry’s love of travel and his vocation as a travel consultant had their genesis in these family vacation experiences. Jim’s focus in life was his family and to smooth the path for the rest of us. His kindness, selflessness, generosity and sense of humour will be greatly missed by all of us. We are fortunate to have had such a powerful example of a truly honourable man in our lives. Jim succumbed to asbestos related Pulmonary Fibrosis. We appreciate the passionate dedication of all who bring comfort on 6E at St. Boniface Hospital. A family celebration of Jim’s life will take place at a later date. What though the radiance which was once so bright Be now for ever taken from our sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, Of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind...

TEST TEST TEST DONALD FONTAINE With hearts saddened by our profound loss but so thankful for his being, we announce that Don Fontaine passed away at sunset on March 8, 2015. He is survived by his wife, Diane, sons Reid and Myles, daughters- in- law, Amy, her son Ross, and Maddie. We have so many treasured memories that will keep Don alive in our hearts and with us forever. He loved and was loved by his in- laws, Ernie and wife Hazel, Pat and Réal Martin, Denis Paquette and Shelly Howard, and his nieces and nephews. Don was predeceased by his parents, Alice ( Rondeau) Fontaine and Joseph Fontaine, and his mother- in- law, Bertha Paquette. Don was a barber and was proud of the 51 years he worked at his craft. The highlight of his career was when he and a partner relocated The Male Image to a beautiful character building on Hargrave Street. Later in his career he worked alongside his good friend Alvin Giesbrecht at My Place on Vaughan Street. He bid farewell to downtown Winnipeg in grand style, meeting and greeting people while working at a shop in the skywalk of the Carghill Building. The most significant and valued part of his long career was the friendships he fostered with his customers. Don was passionate about public speaking and in the 1970s he joined Toastmasters. Not only did he participate in the group but he became a leader and mentor to help others improve their skills. Don was a “ possibility motivator” and would encourage new members to consider what they would achieve by joining the group. He was honoured to receive the George Craigie Memorial Award for home club membership building and retention. He loved people and loved life but above all he loved his family. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family; often leaving for work long before anyone was awake and home late in the evening. He would entertain the boys before bed by singing and dancing them to sleep. At birthday parties or family gatherings the kids would all gravitate to Don as he played games and encouraged them all to be themselves and have fun. When Don first met Diane he courted her for many years and whether he had to hitchhike to Falcon Lake or walk through St. Boniface to visit her, he would have done anything to steal a few moments with her. They shared a wonderful life together and dedicated so much of it to raising their two sons. Later in life they would enjoy travelling; this included trips to Puerto Vallarta where they would share beautiful sunsets together. Don dedicated much of the last two years of his life to writing. What started as a hobby quickly morphed into a wonderful journey documenting the events of his storied life. His goal was to publish a book and in recent months his family rallied around him to help him achieve this goal. We are proud to announce that sample copies of “ Faces in the Barber’s Mirror - Stories from my Chair by Don Fontaine” will be available to view at Don’s memorial service. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, March 15, 2015 at 2: 00 p. m. at Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. Thank you to all the family and friends who visited Don these last few months; he cherished that time very much. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Don’s memory to the St. Boniface Hospital, Palliative Care Endowment Fund, 409 Tache Ave., Room C1026, Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6. “ Have I told you lately that I love you?” Family and friends may sign a Book of Condolence at www. glenlawn. ca Glen Lawn Funeral Home 204- 982- 7550 LILLIAN GAUDES ( nee BRIERCLIFFE) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lil Gaudes, our beloved mother, sister and grandmother at the age of 82 on March 8, 2015, at the Charleswood Care Centre.

Lil is lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her sisters Beth Hutton and Tee Somers; her three sons Jim, Derek and Grant ( Janine); and grandchildren Brendan ( 16), Carter ( 12) and Parker ( 11). Lil was born and raised in Methven, Manitoba and moved to Winnipeg in 1948. Lil and Tony were married in 1957 and enjoyed 46 years of matrimony.

Lil maintained a sharp memory and could share countless details about the people that attended to her care over the past 10 years. Lil spent the past three years at the Charleswood Care Centre and forged many wonderful relationships with the staff and fellow residents. She had a heart of gold and loving soul and will be missed by all.
