He attended school in Lauder, Manitoba completing grades 1 through 9 and was unable to complete his education due to economic and social conditions of the time. He did however; further his education through true-life experiences. Much of his knowledge was gained by doing things that others thought impossible. Mel held numerous jobs throughout his life, some of which included: MTS, building mover, mechanic, caretaker and taxi driver. The job that gave him his best reward was that of being a taxi driver because that is how he met his life long companion of 46 years, Stella. His most notable achievement was during a curling game in which he and his team curled the perfect end. However, that was overshadowed by the raising of his four wonderful children. Mel also enjoyed baseball, auto racing and pool. Mel is survived by his loving wife; Stella, children; Jimmy, Brenda (Bruce), and Sandy of Brandon, Blaine (Tasma) of Edmonton, Alberta, and his six grandchildren. He is also survived by his three sisters; Lucille and Maxine, of Edmonton, Lois of Brandon, and brother; Lyle from Forrest. Mel was predeceased by his mother, father and eldest brother, Don.

CAVERS

Gordon Miller passed away on January 1, 2003 at Brandon Regional Health Centre. Gordon was born on September 22, 1913 on Gowancroft Farm near Pilot Mound, Manitoba, one of four brothers, son of Thomas Alexander and Dora Agnes (Godkin) Cavers. His mother died when he was eight years old. That was old enough to recognize the devastating effect on his father, Thomas, of her death and the death of a baby brother within that year. Gordon’s father called on aunts and a series of housekeepers to assist him in raising his children. Gordon learned the many tasks of farming as he grew up and he began full-time work as a farmer at age 16, in 1929. This very quiet, shy man took over the farm in 1951 when his father moved to Winnipeg. Gordon married Edythe Loretta Booker of Snowflake, Manitoba on December 27, 1951. Together they made a home on the farm, raising Debra, Robert, Landon, and David, with lots of humour, wisdom, patience, and much love. Gordon spent long hours making a skating rink at home, tying endless numbers of skates, there and over at the town rink, for so many children skating and playing hockey. There, all the children knew this strong, silent, very shy man as the “friendly giant” or, because he had a tendency to wear alot of green, the “green giant”. Over the years Gordon was active on the boards for Gowncroft School, the Co-op and Manitoba Pool. He collected in the district for charities like the Red Cross, and worked as a Steward on the United Church Board. He was the handyman in the district, helping his neighbors in a variety of ways and doing alot of welding, using his skills and artistry to make the railings for the Prairie View Lodge, and the Gowancroft School Memorial sign, as well as things like a swing and teeter-totter set for his children. Gordon also was skilled woodworker, making a variety of furniture for his family. Most of all, Gordon loved the land and loved farming, and his sense of self-worth came from being a good farmer. He put in long hours out in the fields, often doing the work of two men. And he was a strong man, able to pick up a squirming market size pig and carry it over to weigh it on the scale. Several neighbors personally experienced just how strong he was. Gordon worked on the farm until 1982 (53 years) and then took on the job of “goffer” for parts, delivering meals to the field, and hauling anhydrous tanks to where they were needed. He never wanted to be in the way, but would come and sit on the edge of a field to watch what was going on. Gordon and Edythe moved from the farm to Pilot Mound in April 1990. Throughout his life, Gordon’s first thought was for the other person. When dealing with other people, he didn’t waste time dwelling on the negative, but concentrated on the positive in them. He was a generous, incredibly honest man, who was very proud of his family and all his grandchildren. Gordon felt blessed that he had a bonus fifteen years of life extended through the miracle of the heart pacemaker. He was on his third one. To the very end, his mind was sharp and he continued to be graced with that sense of humour. The affection with which Gordon’s children hold their Dad was particularly expressed to him on his 85th birthday. Each one wrote a letter to him, emphasizing their respect and love for him, and gratefulness for his hard work, honesty, integrity, patience, generosity, wisdom, understanding, support, and love. He taught his children carefully, worked along side them, helped each find his or her direction, laughed and cried with them, and supported each in his own quiet, calm way. Gordon planted seeds of love during his life and left his family with an abundance of treasured memories. He will be dearly missed by family and friends. Gordon is survived by his loving wife Edythe; daughter Debra and husband Walter Finlay of Souris; sons, Robert and friend Lil Graham of Pilot Mound, Landon and wife Linda and children Kaylee, Shaun and Camden of Pilot Mound, and David and wife Sheryl and children Kyler and Konnor, of Brandon. He is also survived by one brother Ralph and one sister-in-law Florence and numerous nieces an nephews. He was predeceased by his parents and three brothers: Thomas Graham, Lloyd George, and Robert Walter. A service to celebrate Gordon’s life was held at Pilot Mound United Church on January 6, 2003, with Reverend Irene Onuch officiating. Pallbearers were: Ernie Cavers, Eddie Cavers, Ron Booker, Perry Gemmill, Glen Hanks, Earl Gilmour, George Gilmour and Ross Gilmour. Interment followed at the Greenwood Cemetery. Friends who wish may make a donation in memory of Gordon to a charity of their choice. Arrangements were with Graham’s Funeral Services of Pilot Mound.
