BRUCE GUYDA
July 05, 2004
BRUCE JOHN GUYDA Surrounded by his family, Bruce passed away at 11:58 a.m. on July 2, 2004 at the Health Sciences Centre. He leaves to cherish his memory his wife Hilary; daughter Victoria (Zenon), son Paul and his beloved grandson Patrick. Bruce was predeceased by his parents, Walter and Rose. Bruce was a devoted family man. Hilary was the love of his life and young Patrick was his pride and joy. Bruce had a passion for teaching and helping people. This of course led him to a long and successful career at Earl Grey, Grant Park and Daniel McIntyre. It was from Daniel McIntyre that he retired and then returned to substitute and take on a term position. He proved himself to be a very dedicated, caring teacher who had a tremendous impact on students and staff. His contributions to staff morale were invaluable. Bruce was definitely one the good guys. He was a great friend to all he met. His relationships were strong and lasting, he didn't just pass through. He had a way of making people feel good. It was always fun to be with Bruce and we all will have great memories of our times with him. "Tex" had an incredible and unique sense of humour, a quiet, dry wit that made everybody laugh. His kind and gentle manner and his "live life to the fullest" attitude, made you want to be with him. He was soft spoken, mild mannered, and unassuming and yet he was always right there in the centre of things, getting involved and lending his own quirky touch to the proceedings. He loved to help out and he always left a lasting and uniquely memorable impression. Bruce loved to socialize, the first one there and the last one to leave. He loved life and he lived life. He was and is loved by all those who had the privilege and honour of knowing him. He was "one of a kind" and will be terribly missed by all. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, July 7, 1:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. Honorary pallbearers, George Johnston, Gordon Menzies, Bruce Silversides, Ken Kelsch, Dan Carefoot and Brian Walters. Special thanks to "Aunty Del", a.k.a. Louise with love from Thelma. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Bruce Guyda to "The Patrick Christopher Banner" Trust Fund.

DOREEN HODGES
July 05, 2004
DOREEN CECILE HODGES (WAKEHAM) After a five year struggle with Alzheimer's, with her family at her side, Mom freed herself June 30, 2004 to join her beloved Vernon. Mom was born in 1920 in London, England, "within the sound of Bow Bells." She came to Canada with her parents at an early age, and the family quickly settled in Winnipeg. After an incident involving a baseball, a bat, and a black eye, she met and fell in love with Vernon. They wed in 1944 and built their dream house on Royal Avenue in West Kildonan. To make the family complete, children, Gregory (Marianne) and Douglas (Cindy) came along shortly thereafter. Mom worked for a number of years at various companies in the insurance business. She and Dad instilled in their children a love of the outdoors thru many camping trips all over Canada; a love which lasts to this day and is being passed on. Mom took great joy in her grandkids, Sarah and Jackie, Matthew, Michael and young Adam. Even in the later years, you could see her light up when the kids were around. Mom cherished her many dear friends and family. Special thanks must go out to Mom's friend Sadie Peterson for her devotion, love and help to Mom. Also to the caring staff of Maples Personal Care Home, Ward 2E. We don't know what we would have done without you. In keeping with Mom's wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family ceremony will be held. For those wishing, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Society. Say hello to Dad for us Mom, and set out some treats for the Oreo Dog. We love you, Your Family. A life well lived. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
