I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies on laughter - silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth of Sun-split - clouds and done a hundred things you have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there i've chased the shouting wind along, and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue, i've topped the windswept heights with easy grace where never lark, or even eagle flew - and, while with silent lifting mind i've trod the high unsurpassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of God - Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee

SIDNEY BAGEL February 27, 1926 - July 9, 2004 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Sidney Bagel on July 9, 2004, at the age of 78 years. Sidney is survived by his wife of 39 years, Vity, his children, Faren (Larry), Lorne and Steven, grandchildren, Joseph and Jessica, niece Janice and nephews, Norman and David. He was predeceased by his parents, Leon and Cecille and sister Tammy. His life began on February 27, 1926 in Poland. With his parents and younger sister, he came to Canada in 1929. Growing up in the North End of Winnipeg, Sidney learned the value of hard work and that above all else, family and friends were the most important things in every person's life. Sidney began as a waiter with the CNR in May 1949, and finished his 37 year career in a Senior Management position with VIA Rail at their head office in Montreal. He was a hard worker and retired in March 1986, moving back to Winnipeg to be closer to his extended family. He will be forever remembered by his large extended family. Sidney was a devoted, loving and caring person. We will miss his kind and gentle nature and his sense of humour. Nothing was too much when it came to his children and grandchildren. Our thanks to the pallbearers, Larry Hodgson, Norman Usiskin, David Usiskin, Janice Bell, Bill Wolodarsky and Graham Dixon. Honorary pallbearers were Dave Chochinov, Jack Wolodarsky, Martin Levitt, Larry Usiskin and Sid Usiskin.

ITALO BATTISTUZZI
July 18, 2004
ITALO ROBERT BATTISTUZZI With sadness, the family announces the passing of Italo Robert Battistuzzi at Golden Door Geriatric Centre at the age of 88 on July 15, 2004. He will be greatly missed by his wife of 61 years, Irma; his children, Carole (John) Buccini, Robert, David (Stephanie); grandchildren, Chris (Lisa), Rob (Joanne), Jeff, David, Jonathan, Carling, Alison and Kelly; his great-grandchildren, Rocco, Sabrina, Russell and Molly; and his many nieces and nephews and extended family. Italo was born in Winnipeg on September 24, 1915, the son of Italian immigrants, Achille and Johanna Battistuzzi. The family moved back to Venice, Italy, when he was four years old but Italo returned to Winnipeg with his brother Armand when they were teenagers, to pursue both education and career opportunities. His brother Roger made Edmonton, AB his home, while his sisters, Irma, Antoniatta, Alda and Adelina remained in Italy. Italo served in the Army during the Second World War, worked in the mines in Little Longlac, ON, and then learned and perfected his craft of carpentry, which became his lifelong vocation and passion. He concluded his career with Winnipeg Building and Decorating where he was valued for his craftsmanship, work ethic and dedication. He was one of Winnipeg's finest carpenters and his quality work can be seen throughout the city. He was proud to point out the jobs he completed and would provide detailed accounts of every one, as well as the people he encountered. On March 22, 1943, Italo married his companion for life, Irma, and soon after moved to their home on Berrydale Avenue in St. Vital where they raised their family and remained for 53 years. He and his brother Armand, who also resided on Berrydale, stayed inseparable until Armand's passing. Italo's key interests included sports, gardening, cooking and doing carpentry projects for family and friends. He had a great sense of humour, and was an entertaining storyteller who could remember every detail of events from as far back as childhood. He was a very popular person, due in part to his humour and engaging nature. Italo was also a very religious man, who cared deeply about his family and friends. The family would like to thank the staff at the St. Boniface Geriatric Ward and Golden Door Geriatric Centre for their compassionate care. We would also like to thank the many friends and family who visited with him and especially thank his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Rose and Steve Glowach, for their unending support. Cremation has taken place. Funeral mass will be held on Tuesday, July 20, at 10:00 a.m. at Christ The King Church, Lennox and St. Mary's Road, St. Vital. Interment will follow in Green Acres Memorial Gardens. If desired, donations can be made to CancerCare Manitoba, ON109-675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9.
