STANLEY WALDEMAR BURDETT With deepest sorrow we regret to inform you of the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who passed away accidentally on Wednesday, October 27, 2004 Stan was born
on December 28, 1927 in Clarkleigh, MB and grew up there as well. As a young man, he worked at various jobs including being the grader operator in the R.M. of Coldwell for many years, and later was employed at the dew line as a heavy equipment operator/mechanic. He owned Imperial Bulk Oil in Lundar and this is where he met Edna Malcolm and they were later married
on November 6, 1961 in Stonewall, MB. They resided in Lundar, MB all their lives and this is where they raised their family of two. Dad took great pride in his work and in his family. He was a jack-of-all-trades. Our Dad was a very honest man and had a great sense of humour. Though Dad was away working a lot, when with us, he instilled in us his great sense of humour, good work ethics and an infectious love for life.

He was also active in the Grettir, Ag Society, Elks, and coached the Lundar Falcon hockey team, and was on the local ambulance service. Stan has spent the last 30 years travelling all over northern Canada with the Northwest Company. Many young people looked up to Stan as a mentor and a teacher, as he encouraged them to find work in all types of trades. His patience, generosity, kindness, love and the smell of his pipe will always be remembered by his family and his many friends throughout the countryside. His story-telling will be missed by his family and friends. Stan had an incredible style of penmanship with calligraphy that was admired by many. We will remember Stan for his favourite saying; If you wish. He will be sadly missed by his wife of 43 years Edna; and their children, Tannis, and Marc (Wendy); grandchildren, Pamela, Kiandra, and Natalie, great-grandchildren, Sedona and Kiyahna.

in 1956. In 1963, with their two children, they moved to Winnipeg. Norm was involved in the automotive industry for most of his career where he made many long term friends. Fraternally, Norm was initiated in the Red River Lodge in 1965. He was a past active member of the Valley of Winnipeg A & ASR Lodge, attaining the highest order of the 33rd degree in Scottish Rite.

More recently, Norman was a Mason with the combined Lodges of Red River and Charleswood. Norm was invited to be a member of the Royal Order of Scotland in April 1998 and was a member of the Cameron Highlanders Pipe Band for many years. These organizations provided many deep lasting friendships and memorable fun times. Norm loved his family deeply and was a wonderful father. He was very involved with his children in an era when most fathers were not. He could often be found on the skating rink or toboggan hill, camping with Boy Scouts, teaching his son to drum and ride the horse or even chasing fire trucks with Heather when she was a toddler. He was proud of his children's accomplishments and was always there to encourage them with support in their education and career endeavours. Upon retirement, Norm and Dolly walked many miles a day and took up golf while enjoying their extended summers at the cottage in Clear Lake. Norm also enjoyed travelling the world with the Massed Pipe Band to the Silver Broom and the Rose Bowl Parades.

Shaun's wife Susan; sons, Quinn and Keenan; his sister D'Arcy; his brothers, Kerry, Timothy, Regan and Clancy; his extended family and friends will miss him dearly. Shaun was a passionate person. Passionate about family, friends, the north where he lived and worked most of his life, surveying which was more of a vocation than a job, his annual chicken and duck hunt in Manitoba with his longtime friends, beautiful Victoria Beach where he spent summers as a boy, old suburbans, the game of scrabble and golf. Mike Weir never had a more loyal fan. Shaun didn't let his illness stop him from pursuing his passions. He hunted past the point anyone thought possible, he spent his last summer at Victoria Beach surveying, and in hospital he continued to watch golf on TV, and play scrabble with his mother. To the end he maintained his sense of humour, his most endearing quality. A celebration of his life will be held in Winnipeg in July 2005. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to The Kelty Patrick Dennehy Foundation, PO Box 35, Whistler, BC V0N 1B8.
