Brian Martin
June 17, 2003
BRIAN MARTIN On Father's Day, June 15, 2003 Brian Martin (Marty), husband, dad and papa, passed away suddenly and peacefully with his family by his side. He is survived by his loving wife Carole; son Brian (Jackie); daughter Kristina and the apple of his eye, granddaughter Abigail. Dad also leaves behind two sisters, Lorraine (Tom) Muirhead; Myrtle (Bob) Downie; brother-in-law, Dave (Angela) VanTornhout and their families. As well as numerous friends and his special lifelong friend Lloyd Wachal. Dad had been a trucker since his late teens when he started working for the City of Winnipeg and later the Municipality of East St. Paul until his retirement a few years ago. Dad could always be found working on his truck in the backyard. Dad also loved hockey, spending countless hours watching Brian at his games and most recently, watching the N.H.L. playoffs. He enjoyed playing hockey himself as a young man and later with the East St. Paul old timers team. Dad was a kind and generous man. He had a terrific sense of humour and a dry wit that will be missed at family get-togethers. Dad also had a wonderful gift of talking with complete strangers he met anywhere, making you think they had been friends for years. Dad loved animals and was instrumental at helping to find homes for many homeless animals. But his absence will be especially missed by his best friend and companion, Kacey. We will miss you terribly Dad. Your physical presence will be sadly missed but your love and spirit will be with us forever. A special thank you to Aunty Angie and Uncle Dave for your continuing love and support and to everyone who showed our Dad kindness and compassion on his last day. At Dad's request, no formal service will be held. Flowers are gratefully declined. Just think of the good times you've shared with Dad and remember him kindly. Donations in Dad's memory can be given to The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, 200 - 6 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R3L 0K6. KLASSEN Funeral Chapel 1897 Henderson - N. of McIvor - 338-0331
