ALBERT DELORME
ALBERT 'AB' NOEL MARCEL JOSEPH DELORME 1919 - 2004 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Albert Delorme on October 18, 2004 at the age of 84 years, after a lengthy illness. Albert was born
on Christmas Eve in 1919 in the town of Fisher Branch, MB. Within a year of his birth his father Fulgence died from tuberculosis leaving him and his mother Rose Anna (nee Nault) behind. Rose Anna later married Arthur Coutu and it is this man that Albert knew as his father until Mr. Coutu's passing in 1941. Rose Anna would later pass away in 1985 at the age of 92. Like many of his era, Albert grew up knowing many hardships including the loss of his father at an early age, working long hours on the farm, hauling cord wood in sub-zero temperatures, the Depression, working chest-deep in frigid water sorting logs for the Pine Falls pulp mill, fighting in Europe during the Second World War and welding rail in plus 30 degree Celsius temperatures. All of these contributed to creating a man who understood the value of hard work, who had the fortitude to stick things out when life got tough and, who appreciated the many gifts in life. The gifts that he valued most were his family and friends. The Delorme household was renowned for its hospitality. 'Ab' and Alice cherished nothing more than to share "un petit coup" and a great meal filled with laughter, surrounded by friends and family. Sadly, after a life together for 42 years, his wife Alice passed away in 1989. As life would have it however he would later meet Agnes who lovingly shared his last 14 years. 'Ab' loved his job. For 42 years he looked to each day with joy and anticipation working for the CNR as a forman/welder. He found great pride in his commitment to Canada and the South Alberta Regiment (SAR) during the Second World War. He enlisted in 1941 and returned from Europe in 1946. For many years Dad would not talk about his war years however later in life he enjoyed travelling with Agnes regularly to participate in his old regiment's biannual conventions. One of the most memorable events of his life was his return to Europe with his comrades from the SAR to celebrate the 50th anniversary of VE day. Albert leaves behind his beloved companion Agnes Nightingale; his children, Denis, Diane (Rene) and Greg (Jeannette); his grandchildren, Janelle, Danielle and Elise; his sister Jeanne Guimond; and his brothers, Maurice Coutu (Ethel) and Paul Coutu (Emily). Albert was predeceased by his wife Alice (nee Camire), his brother George Coutu and his brother-in-law Rosario Guimond. Pallbearers will be Raymond Camire, Earl Dudek, Mike Felewich, Paul Zommer, Ken Pauls, Tom Halbert and Bradley Guimond. Albert's family would like to thank the staff at the Deer Lodge Centre (6E wing) and the Health Sciences Centre for their care. A special thanks to Diane Bishop for watching over Dad when we could not be there. The funeral mass will be held at the St. Boniface Cathedral, 190 avenue de la Cathedrale at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 23. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Deer Lodge Foundation, 2109 Portage Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3J 0L3 or to Parkinson Society Manitoba, Suite 302, 171 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R3C 1M4.

BJARNI GISLASON
BJARNI (BARNEY) KRISTINN GISLASON It is with saddened hearts that we announce the passing of our dear Dad, Afi, and Big Afi, after a hard struggle in the last few months, which ended peacefully on October 16, 2004 at the Arborg Hospital.

in 1916 in Arnes, MB and later moved to Riverton with his parents and family. As a young boy, he started fishing with his dad Jon, and from then he went on to do various construction jobs as a dragline operator, working in many northern areas and around the Interlake. In 1937, he married the love of his life, Stebba, and they had 61 years together before Mom passed away. Dad was a faithful member of the A.A. group in Riverton and looked after all the meetings for many years, and made many friends along the way. He enjoyed fishing with his sons, gardening and visiting his sisters Runa and Magga, and also Leslee, while cruising around in his fancy black car! Dad looked after Mom for years at home, with the help of caregivers, and later in the hospital and care home. Thank you for that Dad! Funeral services will be held on Friday, October 22 at 2:00 p.m. at the Riverton-Hnausa Lutheran Church with Pastors Trudy Thorarinson and Neill Von Gunten officiating.

CHRISTOPHER GRAHAM
CHRISTOPHER PETER GRAHAM With great sadness we announce the accidental death, on October 15, 2004, at only 22 years old, of our beloved Christopher, son to Jan and Cam and big brother to Andrew. Christopher will be missed deeply by his grandparents, Denise Beley and Don and Vivien Graham; uncles and aunts, Dave and Marsha Graham, Blair and Carol Peacock, and Henry and Leslie Joling; cousins, Derek, Alex, Brooke, Dawn, Brianne, Monica, and Matthew; and his dearest friend Ashley and her parents Lynn and Paul Fulton, the Hanfords and the rest of her family who embraced Chris into their lives. Chris lived all his life in Fort Garry, graduating from Vincent Massey, making some great friends along the way. Chris touched our lives briefly but profoundly in many ways and to many different people some of whom we are just now finding out about for the first time with their kind words and thoughts. Chris loved the Graham family cottage and was driving to the lake when the accident happened so we know that he was on the road to his favourite place. With the cottage came his love for the life he shared there with his family and friends, the frogs and the turtles, and the old aluminum fishing boat. He was not so crazy about the mosquitoes and the horseflies, but man oh man did we have a whack of fly swatters to take care of that situation. Christopher was working at Inlet Equipment, and that was always a constant subject of conversation at the dinner table. We don't think there was a busier place to work! He was full of stories about his day at work, problem solving, customer service, and the interpersonal conversations that he had with his fellow employees and his Boss, Tony. Christopher took the good with the bad and solved all problems at work with his own brand of wisdom. He had all the answers, and that's for sure. That was Christopher, sure of himself, sure he was right, a true 22 year old. To your computer friends, who you networked with, day and night, we thank you for the world you lived in with him. We were never quite sure what he was up to but whenever we would look at the computer screen we knew it was well beyond our capabilities or understanding. He was truly happy and content whenever he was online or programming, often with a little smile on his face. We will miss you so much Christopher, Chris to all his friends, and we will hold you in our hearts forever. The funeral service will take place at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, October 21 at Mary, Mother of the Church at 85 Kirkbridge Dr. Arrangements entrusted to: VOYAGE FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORIUM 1531 Pembina Hwy. 284-7500
