He was born Dec. 18, 1922 and raised on the family farm in the Clear Springs area of Manitoba. At the age of 18, Dan enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and served his country until the end of World War II. June 4, 1948 Dan married Elva Joyce McDonald of Giroux, Man. He spent the following 30 years farming, both in the Giroux area and from 1963 on in the Brandon, Man. region. Dan and Elva together raised seven children. In 1976, Dan retired from farming and they moved into Brandon. Dan enjoyed many things, including travelling throughout the world, camping and fishing at Lake Audy, and the company of family and friends. He was predeceased by his wife Elva the year before; his brother Earl in 1977; and sister Vera in 1976. He will be sadly missed by his children: Maureen (Harvey), Shawn, Shelagh, Bradley, Grant, Brent (Diane), and Kathleen (Tom); grandchildren: Kirsten (Bruce), Lee (Carla), Hamish, Jarrod, Jeff, Ryan, Braden, Tyler and Jaden; and great-grandchildren Chantal and Noah.

ELSIE LASIA NASTIUK 1920-2002 Elsie Lasia Nastiuk, formerly of Gardenton, Man., passed away peacefully, with her family by her side, at Toronto Western Hospital on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 2002, in her 82nd year. To commemorate her passing, her family will hold a memorial service at St Demetrius Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church, two miles south of Gardenton, Saturday, Aug. 9, 2003 at 11 a.m. Father John Melnyk will be officiating. Elsie was the devoted and beloved mother of Olga (Douglas) Minns of Nassau, Bahamas and Irene (Harry) Shaw of Toronto, Ont. She was dearly loved and is sadly missed by her grandchildren, Harry, Mitchell and Catharine Shaw. She was predeceased by her sister Maria Nastiuk, age 92, of Vancouver, B.C., and is survived by her sister Anne Zahara, age 88, of Collingwood, Ont. Mother left Gardenton in 1939 as a young married woman and moved to Toronto, as did many other young couples from Gardenton and neighboring towns. Many of the Gardenton area couples who moved to Toronto maintained their friendships and became known to one another as the "Gardenton Gang." Together over the years they attended many housewarming parties for each other, and as their children grew and married they held grand weddings in the traditional Ukrainian style, which all attended and enjoyed. As they grew older, anniversary parties then became popular, where friendships were reunited once again. Over the years, Mother enjoyed going back to Gardenton for the July 12 celebrations, to see old friends and to take a sentimental look at the family farm. She also enjoyed attending the Purple Bank School Reunion and the 100 year dedication of the Historic St Michael's Church. She was employed by the Robert Simpson Co. (now the Hudson's Bay Co.) for over 30 years as a sales associate. On her retirement she enjoyed travelling to many far away places along with sister Anne. One of their first trips to Europe included a visit to the Ukraine, to the village of Onut Bukovina, to visit their family and to see the country of their ancestry. Mother's passion was her flower and vegetable garden. She grew a variety of flowers, but was particularly proud of her beautiful roses. Her quiet, peaceful times were spent knitting afghans for family and friends and patiently sewing beautiful needlework pictures that were displayed in her lovely home. They will be treasured by her family and are a fond memory of the gentle, loving person that she was. Her life journey has now come full circle. It was Mother's request to be returned to Gardenton, the place of her birth. May she rest in peace till we meet again.

LEONARD LAUFERSWEILER 1915 - 2003 The Lord relieved Dad of his suffering July 28 at Victoria General Hospital. He is survived by his "plums," Margaret, with whom he shared 63 years of his life; his daughters, Lenore Loyns (Al) and Donna Schwark (Wayne); their children Alain Loyns, Dwight (Alodia) Schwark and Lisa Skrubis (Steve); and five great-grandchildren, Steven and Victoria Schwark, Chase and Kara Skrubis, and Alarey Loyns. He is survived as well by his sister Evelyn Lochhead. He was predeceased by his father Rudy; mother Eva; two brothers, Walter and Alfred; and two sisters, Louise and Elsie. Dad's place in the business world was one of which he was fiercely proud. He began to shape his business skills as a teenager under the tutelage of his father. He and brother Walter continued the business when Rudy passed away in the late 1940s and developed L&W Servicing into a thriving rural business. On retirement from L&W Servicing in 1967, Len and Margaret moved to Winnipeg for retirement. Soon he became field manager for Modern Dairies, from which he retired again a decade later. In business and in daily living Dad demonstrated honesty, loyalty, kindness, and generosity. He took pride in whatever he participated in, always giving his best, whether it was the challenge of skipping a team for a curling bonspiel or spinning a yarn with his buddies at the coffee club at the St Vital Shopping Centre. There are many people to thank for their concern, compassion, and care: the nurses on the third and fifth floors at the Victoria Hospital; those special people at the Golden Door; and Virginia, Marie and Donna. A memorial service will be held at Friedensthal Lutheran Church, Thursday, July 31 at 1 p.m. Flowers are gratefully declined, but those who wish may contribute to: Canadian Cancer Society, Manitoba Division, 193 Sherbrook St., Winnipeg, MB R3C 2B7. Dad will be sorely missed and loved forever. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.
