1933 - 2003
Mr. Peter Bruce Charlton of Innisfail, Alberta, passed away peacefully in the presence of his family at Foothills Hospital in Calgary on Sunday, February 2, 2003 at the age of 69 years. Bruce was born November 8, 1933 on the farm of Humphrey and Muriel Charlton, the youngest of five children. Bruce earned his steam engineering ticket and began a 38 year career as an Engineer at Canadian Forces Base Penhold, working entirely at the base steam plant except for a brief stay at the nearby waste treatment facility. Bruce married Elaine Scott of the Penhold area in 1958, living first in Red Deer and then settling in Innisfail where he lived the last 40 years of his life. Bruce was the father of three children, Richard, Janet and Kenn. Bruce loved his rural roots and made way for his young family by also working part-time for many years on the farm of Doug and Norma Morris of the Innisfail District. His love of anything mechanical was backed by the ability to fix the unfixable, a talent valuable to his friends and neighbours as well as co-workers at the Penhold Base. Bruce also found great enjoyment in the outdoors, having hiked and biked the length and breadth of the Canadian Rockies, skied the Swiss Alps and cruised the fjords of New Zealand. Bruce retired from Base Penhold in 1992 and enjoyed 10 good years of retirement before a sudden illness claimed him earlier this week. Bruce is survived by his children, Rick Charlton, Kenn Charlton and Janet Jacobson as well as his beloved grandchildren, Michael and Kyla. He is also survived by his sister Audrey Kinsey, brother Johnny Charlton and sister Joyce Turple. He was predeceased by his sister Beth Benson. Funeral Services for Peter Bruce Charlton will be held at Holy Trinity Church, Pine Lake, Alberta at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, February 7, 2003. The family would like to thank the dedicated and caring team of doctors and staff on the sixth floor of Foothills Hospital in Calgary who made Bruce's final days as comfortable as possible. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Metcalf Funeral Chapel, 4200 - 49th Avenue, Innisfail, Alberta. Phone 403-227-3123
