July 14, 2004
JEFFREY DAVID HILL April 14, 1981 - July 10, 2004 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Jeff Hill on Saturday, July 10, 2004 at the age of 23 years.

Jeff was predeceased by his father David Hill (February 2003); grandmother Flo Huntley (October 1987); and grandmother Helen Hill (December 1988). Jeff's funeral service will be held on Friday, July 16 at 11:00 a.m. in the Westwood Community Church, 401 Westwood Dr. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jeff's memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society Manitoba Division, 193 Sherbrook St., Winnipeg, MB R3C 2B7. I'M FREE Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work, or play, Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much- Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me; God wanted me now, He set me free.

CLIFFORD KOWALSKY Peacefully, on July 9, 2004, Clifford Kowalsky, loving husband and father. Survived by Rosemary, his precious wife of 65 years, brother Bernie, son Clifford (Julia, Stephen, Christopher, Rachel, Shara, Megan), daughter Elaine ( Elton), son Barry (Kathryn, Brendan, Robyn Katelyn) son Kenneth (Linda, Kenneth Jr., Marie); predeceased by his parents, Maryan and Theophelia; brothers, Thomas and James; sisters, Elsie, Stella and Olga. A remarkably talented man, Cliff was born in Winnipeg in 1915, and grew up in Point Douglas. He attended Norquay and Tec Voc schools. A gifted athlete, he founded the Royal Dukes Athletic Club and earned his Royal Life Saving Society Bronze Medallion at the age of 17. He met Rosemary in 1939. They were married at the Stella Mission in Winnipeg by Dr. Schaefer on December 23, 1939. Cliff answered his country's call to war in September 1939, serving in the Royal Canadian Engineers, 12th Field Company. Cliff served in England, Sicily, Italy, France and Holland. Twice mentioned in dispatches, Cliff was wounded in battle. He saw his wife only once during the war, in 1945 he managed to obtain and 10 day furlough in London, where Rosemary served in the Canadian Women's Army Corps. Cliff remained in the reserves after the war, and he was invited to attend the Coronation of Elizabeth II, where he was decorated by the Queen for his courage in battle. After the war, Cliff and Rosemary settled at 41 Bowhill Lane in Charleswood, here they built their home and raised their children. A pioneer in the community, Cliff was involved with the Legion, the Church Choir, Scouts, the Charleswood Youth Drop In Centre, helping out friends and lending a hand. He cheerfully volunteered for any task no matter how arduous. His warm and engaging personality touched everyone who knew him. Throughout his life, Cliff continued his athletic endeavours. A champion runner, he won the over 65 half marathon at the age of 75. He mastered the fine art of bathtub racing, winning every race he entered. He was a life member of the lawn bowling society, winning the Manitoba Championship. As well, he was an avid darts player at the Legion, where he won many trophies. Cliff loved acting, and appeared in many roles at church functions. He played monsters, clowns and comic strip characters, but his most endearing role was that of Harry Higgins, the scheming English dandy, in a church musical. He loved to dress up for his children's parties, and spent many happy hours entertaining the kids. A master story writer and teller, Cliff participated in the school reading program, reading his original works to the school children. Cliff worked in construction for 45 years in Winnipeg starting with Commonwealth Construction in the early 1930s. He was respected and admired by his colleagues for his technical knowledge and his wonderful people skills. Cliff loved to go fishing at Lac Du Bonnet at his cottage, where he spent many happy hours going after "The Big One". The memories of the time at the lake spent with him will shine within all of us for the rest of our lives. A master builder, Cliff created a wonderful home for his family. He spent many hours doing woodwork, building additions, gardening in his greenhouse and "fixing up the place". His flowers were amazing to see. Cliff was a devoted husband, loving father, faithful servant of God, helpful neighbour, brave soldier, athlete, entertainer, community builder, and friend to all. To know him was an honour and a pleasure. He will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. A celebration of Cliff's life will be held at the church he helped build, Charleswood United Church, on July 17 at 10:30 a.m. with Rev. Joanne Kury officiating.

Mom had a love for children and showed it by babysitting at the Wildwood and the Pembina Curling Club. Mom met Dad while working at Eatons and they married on June 16, 1951. Mom and Dad had 32 wonderful years together; they lived and raised their family in Fort Garry where they developed many wonderful friendships. Mom loved playing cards and bingo, shopping, camping and most of all spending time with her family. Mom loved having tea and talking for hours to family and friends. Mom loved watching her grandchildren grow and was proud of their accomplishments. Mom was very supportive in their various activities. Mom had a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer, she never complained or let it get her down. Even in her most trying times Mom's concern was for her family. Her family is very proud of her and will miss her dearly. WE LOVE YOU MOM. The family would like to acknowledge the excellent care received on the 2nd floor Cornish wing during her last week at the Misericordia, where they made Mom and the family comfortable during that period.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Vivian's memory to Cancer Care Manitoba or Heart and Stroke Association. God Saw Her Getting Tired God saw her getting tired, And a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around her And whispered, "Come with me." With tearful eyes we watched her suffer And saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, We could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
