It is with great sadness and much love that we mourn the sudden and unexpected passing of Wm Ralph Bullock on December 14, 2022 at the age of 86 years. He will be deeply missed by his loving wife Jeanette; children Lois (Al) Guenther, Cynthia (Pat) Morrow, Bill (Sue) Bullock; step children Reg (Belinda) Walker and Katherine (Al) Dyne; grandchildren: Jason (Astrid) Guenther, Chris (Danelle) Guenther, Alysha Guenther, Bryan (Barb) Morrow, Nathan Bryan, Elizabeth Morrow, Kyle Sale, Cassandra Sale, Haley Bullock, Christopher Walker, Nicholas Walker, Justin (Melanie) Perras, Cody Waldron; and greatgrandchildren: Stella Guenther, Claire Guenther, Jacob Guenther, Zoe Guenther, Isaac Morrow, Levi Morrow, Beau Williamson.

On June 30, 1936 Ralph arrived, welcomed by parents William and Olive Bullock in Maidstone, Saskatchewan. Working on the farm from a young age instilled in him his strong work ethic, which he carried through the rest of his life. Dad went to Keyworth School from grades 1 to 8. This small country school was about 2 ½ miles from their farm homestead. On cold winter days they drove in a horse drawn cutter, in summer months he rode his favorite horse, Silver to and from school. He went to high school in Maidstone, by then Dad was 16 and drove the neighboring kids in a car. He was athletic and proficient in sports, winning many ribbons in track and field and played football in high school. During this time he developed a passion for HAM radio, which kept him up late into the evening, because that’s when the reception was best.

After graduating from high school, Ralph went to the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, where he was awarded a Bachelor of Engineering in Engineering Physics in 1958 and a Master of Science in Upper Atmospheric Physics in 1960. While there he made life-long friends and met and married Irene Pearl Heinrichs. They moved to the north end in Winnipeg in the early 60’s. He fathered Lois and Cindy, and in 1968 moved his young family to St. James where they also welcomed William (Bill). Ralph and Irene were separated in 1989 and later divorced. In 1993 he married Helene Jeanette Walker, welcoming her children Reginald, and Katherine into a blended family.

Dad worked as an engineer at Bristol Aerospace, early in his career he travelled several times up north to Alert, NWT (NU), and Churchill, MB and to Wallops Island, Virginia, and Brazil sending weather balloons into the upper atmosphere. He worked on the Black Brandt IV and V rocket project in the early 60’s. Later, he was promoted into management and became the Vice President, Engineering and Quality at Bristol Aerospace and Vice-President, Environmental Affairs with Rolls Royce.

While managing a demanding career and family life Dad was also unselfishly and heavily involved in his community. He served as a long-time member of the governing council and the executive of the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), and was instrumental in the establishment in Winnipeg of the NRC’s Canadian Institute of Industrial Technology and its successor, the Institute for Manufacturing Technology. He served on a number of other scientific and technical organizations including Manufacturing Technology Service of the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association and, provincially, the Economic and Innovation Technology Council and Total Quality Manitoba Inc. He was also Chair of both the Defence Advisory Board and the Space Committee of the Air Industries Association of Canada. In 1997 he received an Honorary Doctorate in Science from the University of Manitoba. His most significant contribution to the University was establishing the University’s Institute for Technological Development. He was also instrumental in the establishment in the University of the highly successful and nationally recognized Engineering and Applied Sciences Industrial Affiliates Program. He was involved when Red River Community College seceded from the Province of Manitoba in 1995 and sat as Chair, Board of Governors of Red River Community College (now known as Red River College Polytechnic) through to 1998. He kept abreast of the many changes at the College over the years.

He enjoyed golfing and was a member of Breezy Bend Golf and Country Club. Curling was another of his favorite sports to play and watch. He was a member and became President of the Assiniboine Memorial Curling Club in 1978-1979 and chaired the 1991 World Curling Championships held in Winnipeg. A country boy at heart, he was the happiest spending time at his home north of Woodlands, lovingly referred to as “The Swamp”; it was there he retired in 1996. We fondly remember ‘cookouts’ at the shed prior to when the house was built. He continued with his hobby of HAM radio, his call sign was VE40G. Starting with one radio tower they quickly multiplied and became a family of seven. There were many ‘tower erecting parties’ where he applied his engineering know-how and we managed to put up 40-80 foot towers with a gin pole and a winch.

Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held on January 7, 2023 at 1:00 p.m.at Prairie Spirit United Church, 207 Thompson Drive, Winnipeg.

In lieu of flowers, if so desired, donations may be made to Diabetes Canada or The Kidney Foundation of Canada.

September 30, 1943-December 10, 2022            With deep sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mom, grandma and great-grandma at Grace Hospital, with her family by her side. Cherishing her memory are her husband Jarvis, daughters Tracy, Teresa (Doug Melnychuk), and Tammy (Rob Wainwright), grandson Michael (Kathleen), granddaughter Magdalena, great-grandson Matthew, many nieces and nephews and several close friends. She was predeceased by her parents, Michael and Rose Bilyj, sisters Anne and Nat, and brother Oscar.

Dianne was born in Brooklands, Manitoba, and was the youngest of four children. She had many fond memories of helping sister Anne with her market garden, a passion that was carried on in her years in Stonewall and while living in Winnipeg. On October 10, 1961 Dianne had her first date with Jarvis going to the Airport Drive-In theatre and then to A&W for hamburgers. A & W remained a favorite dining location throughout their marriage. They wed in 1962 and had the honour of recently celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary.

Dianne attended Red River College and achieved her bookkeeping diploma in 1982, which came in handy when doing the books for Jarvis’ business. She also worked for Henderson Directories and then for Angus Reid until she retired in 2006.

When their children were young, they moved to Stonewall to raise their family. Dianne was active in the church in Stonewall, and volunteered to help with her children’s activities, spending many years as a 4-H leader. Dianne loved baking and enjoyed serving baked treats to friends when they came over to visit. Dianne was excited to celebrate the weddings of two of her daughters and welcomed her two sons-in-law into the family; Teresa to Doug in 1993 and Tammy to Rob in 2004. She enjoyed watching her family grow, and was especially fond of her grandchildren, Michael and Magdalena. She was proud of their accomplishments and celebrated their successes. She was extremely proud to have taken part in Michael’s wedding and Magdalena’s university graduation. Dianne was overjoyed with the news of becoming a great-grandma and relished every moment she spent with great-grandson, Matthew. Dianne loved listening to country music and enjoyed attending concerts. Her closet was full of concert t-shirts from the shows that she attended. In 2009, she enjoyed a dream trip to Nashville with Jarvis and daughter Tracy, visiting iconic places such as the Ryman Auditorium, the Grand Ole Opry, Graceland, and dining at Loretta Lynn’s Kitchen.

Dianne’s last few years were challenging due to several health concerns, which limited her independence. Attending the Prime Program at Deer Lodge Centre was the highlight of her last few months. She enjoyed the people, the activities and the chance to get out on her own again. Dianne’s family would like to thank the staff at the Prime Program for the increased independence and enjoyment they provided for her, and for their exceptional care.

The family would also like to thank the staff of Grace Hospital 4 South for their excellent care during Dianne’s last few weeks. We are extremely grateful for the support and comfort that you provided to all of us.

A Celebration of Life will be held on January 14, 2023 at Crestview United Church, 316 Hamilton Avenue, Winnipeg, at 2:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada (Manitoba Branch) 1-452 Dovercourt Drive, Winnipeg, MB, R3Y 1G4, or to the Prime Program through the Deer Lodge Centre Foundation 2109 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, MB, R3J 0L3

November 24, 1941 – December 10, 2022         It is with great sadness that his family announces the sudden passing of their Dad/Grandfather, Dale Yeo, on December 10, 2022 at his home in Stonewall, Manitoba. A lifelong and passionate fan of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers is now cheering on his team from Heaven. Mom will be amused, and certainly not surprised.

Gordon Dale Yeo was born in Winnipeg on November 24, 1941. He received his public school education at Mulvey and Gordon Bell Schools, where the influence of some excellent educators led him to the vocation of teaching. After high school, Dale pursued post-secondary studies in History, English and Education at United College and the University of Manitoba. It was while a student at United that he met and subsequently married Rosemarie Thiele from Dauphin, Manitoba in 1961. It was the beginning of a beautiful partnership, which lasted almost 60 years.

In 1962 the couple, along with baby son, packed up their few belongings and moved to Roblin, Manitoba where Dale’s 35-year teaching career would begin. “Mr. Yeo”, as he was known to hundreds of students over the years, became a master teacher, professional and committed to his craft. He and Rosemarie fell in love with their new community and for more than 50 years were an integral part of it. Even while juggling a busy work life as a teacher and vice-principal at Roblin Collegiate Institute/Goose Lake High School, and being a wonderful father to his five children, Dale volunteered thousands of hours over many years to several community endeavours such as the Roblin Credit Union, Community Foundation, Lions Club, Trans-Canada Trail, Meals on Wheels, Roblin Centennial Committee, and construction of a new community centre. He served as Deputy Mayor of Roblin and enjoyed reading to the residents of Crocus Court seniors home. He and Rosemarie were members of Sacred Heart Parish, with a deep and abiding faith which helped guide their lives.

In 2017 the two made the difficult decision to leave Roblin to be nearer to family and to have closer access to necessary medical services. They relocated to Stonewall, taking up residence at Lion’s Manor where they quickly made many new friends and became part of that community.

Dale was predeceased by his beloved Rosemarie in 2020, parents Frank (1969) and Lillian (2001), and infant brother Ross (1948). He is survived by sons David (Laurel), Douglas (Wei Li), Robert (Lindy), Allen, and daughter Donna (Curtis). He leaves behind eight cherished grandchildren: Kelly (Spencer), Jamie and Scott Yeo; Jacynthe Yeo; Joshua and Jennifer Yaschyshyn; and Elizabeth and William Yeo. Also left to mourn in London, England is Clayton (Arlette) Yeo, his brother for whom Dale had such great affection, pride and respect. The Thiele in-laws who were family to Dale for six decades, Tina Arbez, many nieces and nephews along with former colleagues and his many friends, acutely feel this terrible loss as well.

A funeral service will be held on December 17, 2 pm, at Christ the King Church (325 2nd St E, Stonewall). A brief reception will follow in the auditorium at Quarry Park Heritage Arts Centre (166 Main Street, Stonewall). Donations in Dale’s memory can be made to the Roblin and District Community Foundation (Box 1599, Roblin MB, R0L 1P0), Something Beautiful (307 Main Street, Stonewall MB, R0C 2Z0), or the Terry Fox Foundation (terryfox.org or 1-888-836-9786).

His positive outlook, undiminished zest for life, genuine interest in others, and sense of responsibility as a parent and citizen were rare qualities characteristic of Dale. How blessed we were.

We love and miss you so very much, Dad.

On Thursday December 8, 2022, Margaret Freda Anderson of Woodlands, MB passed away peacefully.

Mom met dad and they were married on January 31, 1964. Mom worked at Scott National in Winnipeg until they purchased the Woodlands General Store in 1972. They ran the store and post office until they sold in 1979. She continued to be postmaster and they built the current building that the post office is still in today. Mom retired from Canada Post in 2002.

Mom enjoyed watching her grandchildren at their various sports. She loved painting and sketching, she was always looking for pictures that she could do a painting of. We have many of her paintings that she did that we will cherish forever. She had many other hobbies, was a member of the community hall and bingo committee.

We would like to thank all the staff that cared for mom during her stay at Teulon Hunter Memorial Hospital and Ken Loehmer for all his help and guidance.

A service will be held on Saturday, January 7, 2023 at 1:00 pm at the Woodlands Community Hall.

May 17, 1931 – November 29, 2022      With deep sadness, the family of Bill McMahon announces his passing just 35 days after his wife, Beatrice.

Bill was born, raised, and lived in Teulon, Manitoba his entire life. He was the 8th of 9 siblings born to Alex and Edith. Dad helped his father build The Corner Pine in 1948 and worked at the business for several years. In 1957, Dad married Beatrice Sanderson and they had four daughters. They purchased the business in 1970, renamed it Bill & Bea’s Variety Store and upgraded to a new building in 1975. Dad enjoyed the daily BS sessions with the morning coffee crew. His favorite food was vanilla soft ice-cream and he took great pride in how his ice cream tasted, testing it frequently throughout the day. His ice cream was well-known throughout the Interlake and beyond! Dad and Mom retired in 2005 and were set to celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary this December 7th.

Dad drove a school-bus for 29 years, and his hobbies included tinkering, hunting, woodworking, gardening, and spending hours at his hobby farm, but his favorite hobby was a good nap. Dad was handy and spent many hours fixing things, often accompanied by much colourful language. He was the best pack rat and loved a good bargain. Dad and Mom enjoyed harness racing, and they spent several years training and watching their own horses race at Assiniboia Downs and summer fairs throughout Manitoba. A voracious reader, Dad’s vast knowledge far exceeded his 7th grade education. His quick wit and cheeky humour, which weren’t always politically correct, were characteristic of his positive outlook.

Dad and Mom enjoyed some international travel, the highlight being their trip to Ireland. When Dad could no longer manage at home, he moved to Goodwin Lodge where he received wonderful care.

Bill will be greatly missed by his four daughters Kathy Siatecki, Donna (Chuck) Stock, Melody (Darrell) Hawryluk and Crystal McMahon (Todd Campbell), grandchildren Todd, Samantha, Kyla (Yiyang), Sharlene, Shannon, Megan (Luke), Michael (Krista), Brittany, and their families, sisters-in-law Shirley, Esther, Denise, Bernice, Eileen and brothers-in-law Art and Abe and their families, plus many nieces and nephews and cousins. A private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Goodwin Lodge or Teulon Community Health Foundation.

He was predeceased by his parents; Robert and Verlie Bowman, In-laws; Charles and Mary Anderson. Siblings; Joyce, June, Wilda, Illa, Alma, Marge, Raymond and Robert.

Bill was born on the family farm where he lived for almost his entire life. Dad’s passion was farming and welding. He worked full-time as a welder and still found the time and energy to manage the farm. In October 1973, Bill married the love of his life Dorothy where they raised two daughters on the farm. Dad looked forwarded to any time he could spend with his grandkids and passing on priceless knowledge.

Dad was a very friendly person who was able to strike up a conversation with anyone whether he knew them or not. He was always willing to lend a hand and never expected in anything in return. People always enjoyed being in Dad’s presence.

Funeral service will be held on Friday, December 2, 2022 at 2:00 pm at the Gunton Greenwood Community Hall in Gunton, Manitoba.

February 19, 1944 – November 25, 2022    It is with very heavy hearts that the family of Sandy Skinner announces her passing on November 25, 2022, at home and surrounded by her children. Sandy’s struggles with cancer are now over, and she is peacefully at rest, along with her beloved husband, Johnny Skinner, and other loved ones who have predeceased her.

The great love and priority in Sandy’s life, was always her John Boy and their children. She was an amazing wife and mother, supporting them in every possible way, while pursuing her own career as an early childhood educator. She loved their life on the farm. She was always awed by the natural beauty of her surroundings – gardens, flowers, plants, birds, animals, blue skies, sunrises, sunsets, and especially fields of grain.

Sandy instilled in us a love of family and she exemplified the golden rule. Her generosity of spirit was an integral part of her very being. When she was only 3 years old, she gave away her favorite doll to another little girl who had nothing, and said “You have this, it’s okay, my Mom will get me another one” – all the while knowing that was unlikely to happen.

Sandy’s always shown an unconditional love of all children. She saw herself as one of the luckiest Moms ever to her 4 loving children – Jennifer (Jason), Rod (Kim), Scott (Angele), Sherry Lynne (Mike). Her pride and joy knew no bounds with her 8 grandchildren –McKay and Matty, Lachlan and Lilly, Olivia and Abby, Brianne and Austin. She also leaves behind her sister, Sherry (Terry), and brother, Curtis (June). Sandy was predeceased by her Mom and Dad (Marg and Stan Charison), and sister Linda (Fred). She will be sadly missed, but her memory will be honoured forever by her extended family of aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Everyone who knew Sandy will remember her as being a great inspiration to everyone around her. Her kindness and the gentle and caring way she lived her life, with humility and grace, were her defining attributes.

A special thank you to Sandy’s medical team who saw her through many health issues. Sandy requested there not be a funeral service. Anyone wishing to send an online tribute or make a donation to any local charity or children’s group in her honour is welcome to do so.

It is with the most profound sadness that we announce the passing of our Dad, Husband and Legend, Ed de Laroque.

Ed was born September 28, 1970 to Charlie and Lynda de Laroque and was raised just outside of Argyle, Manitoba. Ed played hockey in his younger years into his 20’s and football in his teenage years. He married Kim Petrie in 1995 and together they built a life and raised 4 amazing kids.

Ed was the heart and soul of Warren Tire. He worked for his parents until 2006, when he and Kim bought the business and took the reins. There wasn’t anything Ed couldn’t do or figure out. Even in most recent times when staffing was short and times were getting tough, he did not quit, he did not give up. Ed was the hardest working man we will ever know.

Ed was a born coach, mentor and leader. Once his children started playing sports, he was all in. He coached hockey, football and baseball, and many of his teams won countless championships. He was his kid’s biggest fan, cheering them on in all their activities from motocross to Air Cadets, hockey, football, baseball and Irish Dance. Ed loved his kids so much, and was so proud of them.

When he wasn’t coaching, he was hunting or fishing. Ed gave his children the gift of his knowledge and love of the outdoors. Many July long weekends were spent hauling in pickerel at Grand Rapids or on the Red reeling in the cats. He taught all four of them how to hunt and fish, and was so proud when they were successful.

Ed loved to travel. Besides many hunting and fishing trips, Ed loved to travel to Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican, the West Coast, day trips throughout Manitoba, trips to US for football games or a simple trip on the side by side to Inwood for some lunch.

Ed loved his family and friends very deeply. Ed’s friends meant the world to him. While he might not have been a man of words, you always knew he loved you through his actions. Ed was very thoughtful, and had a soft side that he only showed to the people closest to him.

He will be terribly missed by his wife Kim, his children Dylan (Rachel), Austin, Ciarra and Brady, his parents Charlie and Lynda de Laroque, his brother and sister and their families, his nephews, Kim’s family and his nieces, and of course all the friends he loved.

Honourary Pallbearers are Scott Fisher, Mike Tataryn, Jamie Puffalt, Jamie Gray, Stan Grassinger, Donnie de Laroque, Ray Blowers and Corkie Allarie.

A service will be held Monday, December 5, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. in the Stonewall Legion, 459 Main Street, Stonewall Manitoba. A come and go reception until 4 p.m. will follow, for those who don’t make it in to the service.

We would like to thank Colleen and Tyson Langrell, the EMT’s, Headingly RCMP, and the nurses and doctor at Stonewall Hospital for everything they did for us that morning.

In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made to the Manitoba Wildlife Federation, for a memorial youth hunt in Ed’s name.

Our promise to you Ed, we will fight, we will survive, we will live life in your honour, we won’t quit, we won’t give up, and you will always be with us.

“Hands of steel and a heart made of gold”

December 26, 1927 – November 12, 2022     Mom passed away peacefully at the Teulon long term care facility, just a month short of her 95th birthday.

She was predeceased by her husband, Lloyd in 2011, and her daughter Linda.

Left to cherish her memory are her sons Bob, Ken (Francine), Russ (Laura); and daughters Tracy (Todd) and Bev (Ken); grandchildren Shelly (Ryan), David (Christy), Amanda (Curtis), Mark, Nadine (Brendon), William (Nadine), Joseph (Ashley) and great grandchildren Charleigh and Oliver, plus nieces & nephews.

Born in Foxwarren, but with moves to Tilston, Lake Francis and Argyle; mom completed her grade 11 at Brant Consolidated School. Mom’s parents, Will & Myrtle Napper purchased the Wolson’s Store in 1945 and it was there that she met her future husband, J. Lloyd Snell, marrying February 6, 1948.

Initially farming, and shipping milk; dad then got a position with Bristol Aerospace in 1957 and CAE in 1960 with an opportunity to move to Puntzi, BC. Mom loved travelling and the adventure appealed to her. So off they went, with four of their children in tow. They returned to Argyle in 1963 and their youngest child, Beverly was born in November of that year.

Mom was a great community supporter, quietly taking on the roles of Ladies Curling Club president, Hall Board member, Fall Supper volunteer, Sports days volunteer, Baseball coach, Argyle Shuffling Club president and Treasurer of the Stonewall Area Band, of which she had a part in getting organized in the early 70’s.

Music was mom’s passion. She could play piano by ear, in the dark! Hum her a few bars of a tune, and she could play the entire piece! It was magical and her toes were tapping to dance tunes until the very end. To raise money for the new curling rink, she made a big pot of vegetable soup to serve to the twenty mile walk-a-thon’ers, and participated in a 24 hr. piano-a-thon playing her turn of 8 hrs. nonstop.

Mom & Dad did quite a bit of travelling, loving to explore Canada, and mom navigated all their trips, taking travel notes along the way. You could never beat her at geography matches! She continued her writing and added in stories about their life. Writing, geography, and history came in handy when she volunteered to help compile the local history book – Hands Across the Meridian. She spent countless hours interviewing seniors, and helping them by writing their histories, taking dictation over the phone for them if they couldn’t write any longer.

Mom was such a hard working, country woman. She never allowed produce to go to waste. She managed our large gardens and put up many quarts of vegetables & fruits, juices, jams and jellies, and pickles. With dad being a hunter, we always had tasty food on hand. Mom was a great baker as well. Our lunches held at least one baked good; pies, cookies, cakes, or dainties. It was a testament to her good baking, that our lunches got stolen in high school!

Mom was a sewer too. Not only did she make some of our clothes, but she sewed an entire tent, for a pop-up trailer! We enjoyed a few summers at the lake or travelling to BC using that trailer. She also sewed us costumes for the winter carnivals. And with her sense of humor, sometimes showed up in costume herself, and without us knowing who she was!

We’ll miss you mom.

We’d like to thank Ken Lohmer for his services and Dr. Loudon and the staff at the Teulon hospital for their compassionate care over the last 16 months.

A private family service was held per mom’s wishes. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to your local charity of choice.

August 17, 1940 – November 7, 2022      Peacefully on Monday, November 7, 2022, Dorothy passed away at her residence just west of Teulon.

Dorothy was born in Teulon, MB and was raised on the Carlson farm just northwest of town where she spent numerous hours riding horses. Her passion for horses lead her to meeting her husband Robert. Dorothy and Bob helped start the Interlake Riding Club and she acted as Secretary for many years. Together they raised beef and dairy cows and from her dedication to the dairy they received numerous awards including Top Quality Milk for Manitoba. Mom was always delighted to receive a nice bouquet of flowers, especially when Bob would bring home a wild flower arrangement.

A small family gathering will be held at a later date.

She will be greatly missed by her loving family and always remembered in our hearts.

We are sincerely grateful to many friends who have given us support and comfort during this unexpected time of loss.
