November 05, 2004
CHARLES WILLIAM ROBERT EMMS November 23, 1935- November 1, 2004 A heart of gold stopped beating, working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove that He only takes the best. Surrounded by the love of his family, after a short, courageous battle with cancer, it is with great sorrow that we announce that our beloved Dad, Grandpa, Brother, Uncle and Friend, Robert, passed away on November 1, 2004 at the age of 68.

on November 23, 1935 in Chatfield, MB to Wallace and Svea Emms. He attended school in Chatfield and later moved to Poplarfield to farm and to raise his family. He remained active on the farm until a few short months ago. Dad's life was his children, grandchildren and the farm. Dad's true love was the farm, but over the years he worked at Claude Neon, Riverside Gravel, assisted with the construction of Seagram's in Gimli and worked for Poplarfield Transfer. In 1995, Dad received his "Sammy", his trusted dog that stood by him day and night. One of Dad's main loves was hunting. He would take his holidays from the farm for two weeks of deer hunting. The first day of deer hunting was always a special day for Dad. He shared many hunting partners, stories and tales of the one that got away or that the scope missed! Dad's door was always open to all to share a cup of coffee, a glass of cheer, or a story. Pallbearers are: Keith Emms, Kelvin Emms, Codey Emms, Mike Emms, Jim Swedlo and Paul Humeny. Honorary pallbearers are: Teddy Welsh, Bill Grywinski, Ronnie Ostryzniuk, Michael Leochko and George Hibbert. God saw you getting tired In tears we saw you sinking We watched you fade away You suffered much in silence You fought so hard to stay You faced your task with courage Your spirit did not bend But still you kept on fighting Until the very end. God saw you getting tired So He put His arms around you And whispered, "Come with Me." So when we saw you sleeping So peaceful, free from pain We could not wish you back To suffer again. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same As God calls us one by one Our chain will link again. You can't fly with one wing, Your memory lives on. Funeral service will be held at the Chatfield Community Hall at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 6. Interment will follow at Chatfield Cemetery, Pastor George Johnson will officiate. The family would like to thank Dr. Raj Hanmiah, doctors, nurses and staff at Health Sciences Centre emergency and GA4 ward for their compassion and care.

MITCHELL PARKS
November 05, 2004
MITCHELL PARKS After a life well lived, on November 3, 2004, Mitch died peacefully in his 88th year. He leaves behind his loving son Craig (Franca) and his three granddaughters, Tess, Isabella and Emma. Mitch's two older brothers, Sid and Joe, predeceased him, leaving his younger sister Ruth to mourn his death. He cherished his nieces and nephews, Eliora, Nikki, Kevin, Andi, Jerry, Penny, Ross, Cal, Jeff, Cindy and Josh. He also leaves behind his dear friend Brena Cantor and her entire extended family who "adopted" Mitch into their family. Mitch's wife Norma (Jampol) predeceased him in 1985. Both musical (she a ballerina, he a pianist), they met when Norma was looking for an accompanist for her ballet school. Married in 1940, they shared a love of music and the arts throughout their 45 years together. Mitch was one of the top musicians in Winnipeg for over 70 years. He was just five years old when he started piano lessons with a teacher from Belgium who travelled the small towns of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, including Roblin and Estevan where Mitch spent his formative years. By the time he moved to Winnipeg in the early 1930s, Mitch had already mastered the trumpet and was supporting his family by playing weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, resorts and vaudeville shows. He played with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra when it first started and then had a long career in broadcasting, first in radio, playing live broadcasts at three of Winnipeg's four stations, and then in television. Broadcasting opportunities switched his focus back to the piano and he never looked back. From fame as half of the Parks & Burdett piano duo, through early weekly TV series like Cabaret and Red River Jamboree, to writing music for the Canadian content portion of Sesame Street to his best-known "gig" as pianist on CBC TV's Hymn Sing - for 31 years - Mitch's life was all about the music. Over the past few years, Mitch remained active in the community by playing many concerts for the elderly, often accompanying his beloved friend, Rabbi Berkal. Mitch always said that music sustained him. "When I play, I lose all thoughts of bad things. When anything goes wrong I go to the piano", he told the Jewish Post in 1995. Indeed, he lived one year for each of the 88 keys on the piano. Funeral services will be held on Friday, November 5 at Congregation Shaarey Zedek at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in Mitch's memory may be made to a charity of your choice.
