Christopher Ian Ogg
1948-2014
It is with much sadness that the family of Christopher Ian Ogg announce his untimely but peaceful passing at the age of 65. He was born in Montreal the eldest son of late David and Muriel (Haslem) Ogg. Left to cherish his memory is his partner and soul mate Noella Arsenault, his children Jessica Ogg and Greg Sciortino Monaco, Luxemberg; Alex Ogg, France; Kiki Ogg, and Pandora Ogg, England. His brothers and sisters-in-law, Neil and Diane, Charlottetown; Keith and Vicki, England; Derek and Heather, North Wiltshire; and Barry and Leigh, Charlottetown. His step-children Mitch (Crystal) Cameron, Jeremy (Melissa Long) Cameron, Joshua (Angela Arsenault) Cameron, Candace (Robert Toon) Cameron, all of Summerside. Also survived by his mother-in-law and father-in-law Joseph and Zelica Arsenault and by brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Edgar and Pauline Arsenault, Edmond and Corrine Arsenault, Rose and Yvan Audy, Roger and Maureen Arsenault, Norma Arsenault and Ivan Furgesson, John and Marcia Arsenault, Alfred and Diana Arsenault, Paula and Eric Blacquiere and Donna and Kevin Allen. And most preciously his 6 grandchildren Lilou and Eliaz Sciortino Monaco; Kyle, Sydney and Mila Cameron and Cameron Toon. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews and his children's mothers Muriel Toussaint, France and Bernadette Solan, England.
Also left to mourn his passing are friends from around the world and especially the very close ones he interacted with, on different subjects, on an almost daily basis. Musicians, bikers, politicians, community minded people, crazy friends and newly adopted immigrants, he loved each one for who they were. Through his passions for music, reading, biking and not least cooking, he touched many people in many ways. A ready smile, a helping hand, a gentle touch, a sense of justice, a British reservation and humour is how he will be remembered by many. His love for butter and cream in all that he cooked will never be surpassed by anyone and many will miss the dinner parties he enjoyed serving.
Final arrangements have been entrusted to the MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. There will be no public visiting hours or service by personal request. There will be a celebration of life for those who wish to share their stories of Christopher and pay their respect to the family at a later date. If so desired, memorials in memory of Christopher may be made to the PEI Lung Association.

Harriet Etta Weale
1919-2014
Born in a homesteader cabin on the wide Montana plains in 1919, Harriet moved with her family as a young child to Vulcan, in southern Alberta, where she spent the remainder of her youth. Daughter of an itinerant farm labourer, and the third oldest of seven children, she spoke often of the poverty of her childhood during the ‘dirty thirties’ but also of the strength of a mother who saw to it that all her children completed high school and were exposed to music. One of her favourite stories was of the time her mother received a small inheritance and, over the protests of her husband, promptly “–put on her hat, marched into town and bought a piano.”
It was at this time that she met her husband, Bill, the son of the town policeman, and a fellow member of the church choir. During the first years of their marriage they lived in Luscar, a small coal-mining town in the Rocky Mountains west of Edmonton. When Bill left the mine in 1944 to study for the ministry the family (which by then included two children, David and Leona) moved back to Vulcan, then Calgary, and in 1948 made the big move to Greenmount, Prince Edward Island. Apart from a short time spent in Ontario she would spend the rest of her life on the Island, where two more children, Barbara and Merrill, were born.
Her close association with the Church of Christ, and firm adherence to the teaching of Scripture were central pillars of her life experience. Wife, mother, grandmother, pianist, teacher, friend, public speaker, minister’s wife, pie-maker par excellence and master Scrabble player of the family, she had a lasting influence on the lives of many.
In addition to her four children she leaves behind a sister, Libby, in Calgary, a foster daughter, Cathy Bradshaw, a wide scattering of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and a circle of friends who remember her with great fondness.
Full of years, Harriet died at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on Oct. 18, 2014 at the age of 95, several days after suffering a stroke. A memorial gathering for family and close friends is planned for some future date.
