Antonio was born on January 14, 1920, in Quaglietta, Avellino, Italy. In the summer of 1941, he married his loving and caring wife, Assunta, who predeceased him in 2002. He and his family immigrated to Canada in 1964. Antonio will be fondly remembered by his two children, Rosaria and her husband Rocco Curatolo, and Carmine and his wife Teresa; his five grandchildren, Gina Curatolo, Marisa (Michael) Johnson, Silvana (Mark) Hanson, Anthony and Christina; his five great-grandchildren, Ryan, Evan, Nicholas, Haley, and Julia; his nephew Gerardo (Anna) Boniello; along with his large and ever loving extended family. Strong and independent until his far too swift departure from this earth, he never failed to show every one of us how much he loved and cared for us. Antonio and his soulmate Assunta, together now forever in the kingdom of heaven, will be in our hearts and thoughts for eternity. Should friends or family so desire, make a donation in memory of Antonio to a charity of your choice. Prayers will be said on Tuesday, June 22 at 7:30 p.m. at Holy Rosary Church, 510 River Ave. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, June 23 at 2:00 p.m., also at Holy Rosary Church, with Fr.

GREEN ACRES Funeral Home, Cemetery and Crematorium Hwy. #1 E. at Navin, 222-3241 Erkki Ikonen June 17, 2003 ERKKI FELIKS IKONEN With great sadness, we announce the passing of our father, grandfather (ukki) and husband after a courageous four year battle with myelodysplasia. Erkki passed away peacefully at the Deer Lodge Centre on June 14, 2003 with his family at his side. Family was first and foremost to Erkki and he leaves to mourn his passing his loving wife Hilkka; son Johnny (Sharon), grandchildren, Shauna (Mark) and Carson; daughter Liisa (Spencer), grandchildren, Merritt of Winnipeg and from Los Angeles Raina (Ryan) and Maija (Chris); daughter Tuula (Guy) of Vancouver, grandchildren, Tyson and Dana; and numerous nieces and nephews in Finland and Sweden. Erkki was predeceased by his mother, father and sister. Erkki was born in Helsinki, Finland, on February 27, 1917. Entrepreneur, designer, inventor, metal machinist, carpenter, mechanic, master craftsman - Erkki was a man of numerous talents with an unassuming nature. Erkki's first business was designing and building aerial photography equipment in Helsinki. With family, he immigrated to Canada in 1953 settling first in Saskatoon, SK, before moving to Winnipeg. Here, in 1959, he began another business, General Gas Burners Co. on Princes St., manufacturing commercial gas conversion burners. Later he worked for Luke's Electric as a machinist and purchaser of lathes. While employed with Luke's, he also found the time to build saunas both commercial and residential, professional go-karts, as well as agricultural scientific equipment for Agriculture Canada and around the world. He designed automatic seeding machines for plant germination, stainless steel oat dehullers, micro presses for cytological preparations and barley malting machines. These inventions were published in the following journals: Crop Science 1977 and Plant Disease 1984. Sports were also of great interest to Erkki. He was a ski jumper, skier, long distance swimmer and first prize ballroom dancer. In Finland, Erkki built and raced speed boats. He also had a love of music and a keen sense of humour which remained with him even through sickness. With Hilkka, he enjoyed many trips to Finland, Florida and Mexico. Erkki's skillfully-crafted cottage (our cottage as he often reminded us) at Beaconia Beach provided many fun-filled holidays for all family members. A special thank you to Dr. Maxwell, Bonnie and Chris of the Oncology Unit at Victoria Hospital for their years of assistance, Unit 5A and 5E of the St. Boniface Hospital and South 2 of the Deer Lodge Centre for their compassionate care. A service celebrating Erkki's life will be held on Thursday, June 19 at 2:00 p.m. at Neil Bardal Inc., 984 Portage Ave., Aubrey Street entrance. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to do so may make a donation to the Oncology Unit, Victoria Hospital. NEIL BARDAL INC 949-2200 Eberhard Kampff June 17, 2003 EBERHARD KAMPFF Eberhard Erich Kampff passed away on Saturday morning, June 14, 2003, at the age of 70 years, after being in declining health for the last several years. He is survived by his beloved Waltraud, who has been his rock and his shelter through the last challenging years. He is also survived by his children, Gudrun, her husband Gino Ceccarelli and their children, Vincent and Laura (nee Wiens); Mark, his wife Laura and their children, Paul, Brandon, Paige and Erick; Margaret, her husband Jim Woodman and their children, Anna and Frances; and Ingrid. Surviving him as well are his two sisters, Gisela and Ilse; and members of his extended family, in Germany; other close family members and friends, especially Waltraud's brothers and sisters and their families. Eberhard was born in Platteinen, East Prussia (now Poland) on Sunday, July 17, 1932, to Johannes and Margarete (Goertz) Kampff. The youngest of the family, he was a brother to Dora (d.), Siegfried (d.), Ingeborg (d.), Hansgeorg (d.), Ilse, Gisela and Waltraud (d.). Eberhard immigrated to Canada in February of 1956 at the age of 24. He spent about ten years working at the Happy Vineyard, first as a potato peeler, then as a cook and lastly as a waiter. His time there always remained a source of pride and pleasure in his memory - it was a significant time in his life. He married Waltraud Lehmann in October of 1958, and moved to Grunthal in the winter of 1966 to fulfill his lifelong dream to own his own dairy farm. With the help of his family, "2+4 Dairy" grew into a successful operation. In 1990, he and Waltraud retired to Pansy. It was there that Eberhard spent many quiet hours on the deck of their cozy country home, which overlooked the Joubert Creek. Dad really enjoyed his family, music, political discussions, beer, listening to the radio, especially shortwave and keeping up on current events. In his younger years, he loved going to the beach, and is said to have done a mean Tango. Eberhard chose cremation, and requested he be returned to the land he so loved and respected. Our family wishes to express their sincere gratitude for the support and tender care received by the folks at the Stroke Recovery Association, Charleswood Adult Day Club, the Alzheimer Society, Tuxedo Villa, and a special lady, Lisa. Dad will be lovingly honoured at a memorial service on June 19 at 3:00 p.m. at Chapel Lawn, 4000 Portage Ave. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Eberhard may be made to the Stroke Recovery Association, 1 - 333 Vaughn St., Winnipeg, MB R3B 3J9.

Sally Knox June 17, 2003 SALLY MARIE KNOX On June 14, 2003 at St. Boniface Hospital, Sally, wife of Keith Knox, mother of Allison and Douglas Guest, David Knox and James Knox and grandmother of two precious grandchildren, Sarah Marie and John David Guest. She is also survived by her brother Marshall Wansbrough, his wife Jane and niece Gillian, and by many supportive cousins in Canada and the United States. Sally was born in Toronto on April 6, 1936 to Frederick and Elizabeth Wansbrough and spent her early years in Windsor, ON. During the war when her father was overseas, the family went to live with her maternal grandfather in Boulder, CO, where Sally grew to love the mountains. In 1948 the family moved to Winnipeg. Sally obtained her Arts degree from the University of Manitoba in 1957, a Bachelor of Pedagogy in 1958 and a Bachelor of Education in 1961. She began teaching at Silver Heights Collegiate in 1958, the year she and Keith were married.

In 1976 she began teaching fitness classes for Winnipeg and St. James Departments of Recreation, which she continued to do until 1985. For a number of years Sally enjoyed being a volunteer interpreter in the school programs of the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature, where she felt she grew in appreciation of our wonderful part of the world. She also volunteered in the E.S.L. program of Winnipeg School Division and delivering Meals on Wheels. Sally served her church in a number of capacities over the years, as a teacher and superintendent of the Sunday School, as a member of the vestry, as a member and president of the Altar Guild, as a member of St. Aidan's Quilters and latterly as a lay reader. Sally loved the outdoors; walking, hiking in the mountains, trekking in Nepal, looking for wildflowers around Churchill, camping in the Australian Outback, playing golf and tennis, cross-country skiing, gardening, bird-watching, just being at the Victoria Beach cottage. For this reason, should friends desire, instead of flowers, donations in her memory to the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature, 190 Rupert St., R3B 0M8, or the Fort Whyte Centre, 1961 McCreary Rd., R3P 2K9, would be appreciated. Sally and her family wanted all her friends to know how much she appreciated their prayers and other support over the past five years and their companionship in the years prior to that. The family and Sally also wanted to thank those at Home Care and all those in the Oncology and Palliative Care Departments at St. Boniface General Hospital for their compassionate care over the years of her illness. "God of Pilgrims teach us to recognize your dwelling place in the love, generosity and support of those with whom we share our journey, and help us to worship you in our response to those who need our care; for all the world is your temple and every human heart is a sign of your presence, made known to us through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." A service in celebration of Sally's life will be held on Tuesday, June 17, 1:00 p.m., at St. Aidan's Anglican Church, 274 Campbell St., Winnipeg, MB R3N 1B5.

CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044 Irene Lear June 17, 2003 IRENE MARGARET LEAR (nee WILLIAMS) Suddenly and peacefully on June 13, 2003 at approximately 1:30 in the afternoon Irene passed away at the Riverview Health Centre. She has now joined her husband Walter who predeceased her in 1996. "Good Night Irene." Rest in Peace with Walter and May. Irene was born January 19, 1909 to Herbert Edward Williams and Miriam May Gunstone. They emigrated from Whitechurch, England in 1906. Irene's individuality surfaced early. She was one of twins, but unfortunately her twin died at birth. Irene was predeceased by her three brothers, Harold Llewellyn Williams, her oldest brother, Beresford (Barry) Williams, the second oldest brother, and Charles Montague Williams, her youngest brother. A young woman at 14, her parents, May and Herbert separated with Herbert remaining in Winnipeg employed as a Stage Manager at the Walker Theatre. Irene and her mother May returned to England where May worked for her grandfather as his housekeeper. Irene's work ethic was developed during 7 years as an apprentice working in a pottery factory in Bristol, England. Irene returned to Canada at 21, financed by a Winnipeg writing competition, the prize being a trip back to her birthplace. Irene worked as a waitress in Toronto on her return to Canada. A short time later her mother and three brothers returned to Winnipeg. Her mother being employed as a milliner to support the family. Seven years later she met and married Walter Henry Lear in 1936. Walter and Irene resided in Winnipeg and St. Vital all their lives. Walter worked for the CNR Express for 45 years until his retirement. Irene worked in Winnipeg as a stenographer and clerk for various companies in the Winnipeg area up to her retirement. She had a passion for travelling and visited Australia, China, Russia, and Scandinavia. She leaves to mourn one son Clifford Walter Lear (Myrtle); two granddaughters, Kelly (Rudy) of Vancouver and Darcy (Kelly) of Fort St. John; three grandsons, Trevor (Jenny) of Thompson, Robin (Theresa) of Vancouver, and Jeff of Dundas. Irene also leaves to mourn many nieces and nephews. Irene had survived many friends, and was a devoted wife to Walter, whom she cared for during his battle with Alzheimer disease until he passed away in 1996. Wally was truly a very fine English gentleman. Irene played in the Harmonica band with Creative Retirement for 12 years along with her husband and they will be playing their own tunes, after having been reunited elsewhere. Her final reflection was that she had done the best she could, always under varying circumstances. She lived a challenging life and always rose to the challenge personally, privately, and professionally. She was admired by many. Anybody who met Irene, knew she was quite a character, who remained vibrant, alert and very opinionated...which was part of her charm. Irene was a woman ahead of her time, independent, savvy and smart. However, not a "typical" grandmother and mother in some ways. She was very funny, witty and entertaining. Luckily, this has rubbed off on her son and grandchildren. The Lear wit shall continue. Thanks to the nurses, nurses aids, and staff at Riverview Health Centre. You know who you are on ward CD2 without mentioning individual names. Memorial service, 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 18 at Regents Park United Church, 613 St. Mary's Rd. (at St. Anne's). Interment at St. Vital Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to a charity of one's choice.
