Peacefully at Birchwood Terrace with his wife Jean at his side, Carl passed away at the age of 86. Carl was predeceased by his parents, Ole and Annie Johnson, brothers Oscar, Arnold, Harold, William and sister Agnes.
Carl was born in Kenora and spent his whole life in his hometown. He enlisted in the Canadian Army and returned to Kenora from Halifax with his bride Jean Archibald in 1944. After a brief employment with the CPR, Carl became a successful businessman in the field of telecommunications. He was a well-known entrepreneur, providing the first radio taxi phones to the area, bringing expanded television signals to Kenora and establishing a local television station. He was a predominant figure with the Independent Telephone Association and many communities owe him a debt of gratitude for the development and expansion of their local phone service. Carl's interest in community services did not stop with telecommunications. He developed a modular home design in the 1970s that was recognized by a national publication as an outstanding innovation for its time.
Carl had a love of sports and one of his fondest memories was being president of the 1953 Kenora Thistles Hockey Club that won the Western Intermediate Championship and went on to Japan. Carl had a keen interest in Canadian politics and business and was a lifelong member of the Lutheran Church.
He will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by his wife Jean, children John, Lois (Lee), Don (Doris), and William (Lanys), grandchildren Krista (Dave), Jean, Leah, Malcolm, Frederik, and Kirsten, great grandchildren Ellis, Anna and Naomi, brother Arthur (Eula), sister-in-law Ev and numerous nieces and nephews.

Harold Robert Burton
November 23, 1921 - October 23, 2003
It is with deep sadness, the family of Harold Burton announce his passing at Lake of the Woods District Hospital, after a courageous but brief battle with cancer, with his family by his side.
Harold was proud to be a life-long Keewatin resident. He attended school in Keewatin after which he obtained employment at McIlwraith's Dairy Farm. The three years spent there were some of the most enjoyable of his life. Until the day he died, he loved to recall the days at "the farm" with his life-long friend Hugh McIlwraith.
He enlisted in the army on September 4, 1942 with the 24th Field Regiment. A highlight of Harold's army career was the invasion of Kiska in the Aleutian Islands. He also served his country in Italy and northwest Europe.
Returning home he met and married his friend and soul mate Edna Danielson. Together they raised two daughters, Diana and Colleen, of which he was very proud. Edna and Harold celebrated 55 years of marriage on September 25th of this year.
Harold worked for the Lake of the Woods Milling Company in Keewatin until the Flour Mill was destroyed by a fire in July of 1967. He was always so grateful to have been hired at that time by O & M (Mando) at the age of 45 where he worked in the Woodroom until his retirement in 1983.
Harold enjoyed skating and also swimming at the Keewatin Beach all his life. He and Edna loved to dance to "old time" music. They were great
partners on and off the dance floor. In his younger years he loved partridge hunting, fishing and the outdoors in general. After retirement he enjoyed "puttering" in his basement workshop. He enjoyed his daily walks and meeting with his morning coffee group at Kee-West Restaurant. He was affectionately called "Mr. Keewatin" for his knowledge of the town's
history. If anyone wanted to know a specific date of past events they would ask Harold and he would know.
Harold was an active, life long member of St. Andrew's United Church in Keewatin. Besides being the "greeter" every Sunday morning, he was always willing to assist wherever needed.
Harold is survived by his loving wife Edna, daughters Diana Jardine (Garth) and their children Jason and Crystal, Colleen Owen (John Tom) and her daughter Meagan, sister Eileen Ross in Ottawa and brother and sister-in-law Dennis and Delores Danielson. He was predeceased by his parents Frank and Edith Burton.
A memorial service will be held on Monday October 27, 2003 at St. Andrew's Church, Keewatin at 2:00 p.m. with The Reverend Cathy Giroux officiating. Honourary pallbearers will be Hugh McIlwraith, Bill McLean, Dale Toms, Don Gordon, Don Thompson, Jim Duffus and Gerald Symonds.
In lieu of flowers, donations to The Alzheimer Society or Lake of the Woods District Hospital CT Scanner Fund would be appreciated
