Mr. Clifford Hartz
February 15, 1937 - July 23, 2007
HARTZ – Sadly, Cliff passed away at Royal University Hospital after a courageous four-month battle with cancer.
He was born and raised near Clavet and baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in the Haultain area.
He spent many years as a truck driver, seeing the majority of North America numerous times over and receiving his 40-year safe driving award in 2001.
Cliff worked hard throughout his life, starting at a young age on the family farm and making his last long-haul run in the fall of 2006.
He loved to dance, loved spending time on the deck tending to his flowers, and spent many years active in curling, hockey and fastball.
He played commercial B fastball for Dominion Motors and the Saskatoon Pats, highlighting with the provincial championship in 1963 on the Senior A College Lads’ team.
Moving to Rosetown in 1963, he pitched for the Hannigans, and the Wheat Kings for eight years and played hockey for the Rosetown Red Wings.
Cliff moved to Saskatoon in 1972 and was a softball Canada umpire through the 1980s.
Surviving are his loving wife Darlene (Christensen); sons Russell, Darryl (Michelle Silbernagel) and Barry; daughter Linda; Darlene’s children Brad (Summer) Ebinger, Kristi (Joe) Jorgenson; special daughter-in-law Angie (John) Heinek; 14 grandchildren; brothers Don (Charlotte), Gord (Judy), Ken (Bonnie), Stan (Val), Vern (Darlene); sisters Betty (Glenn) Pryor, Judy (Ray Gottinger); sister-in-law Karen (Don) Larsen; a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, cousins, extended family and friends.
His parents Edna and Jacob predeceased him as well as his sister Phyllis, her husband Jack Miller and three infant brothers Carl, Paul and Jake.
Cliff had a deep love for his family and although his occupation took him away from family and friends a great deal, his heart was always at home.
He cherished the many friendships he made throughout his life and especially adored his grandchildren.
We will miss his wonderful sense of humor, his warm, tender ways, his bear hugs and his quiet humility.
We find comfort knowing that Cliff’s deep faith in God sustained him during his illness and gave us the strength to let him go.
We cannot thank enough all the wonderful people who helped in his comfort and care, all those who phoned, visited, gave words, prayers, or gifts of encouragement, offered their assistance or just asked “How’s Cliff doing?”.
It meant so much to us and meant the world to him.
He is now with our Heavenly Father and we are left with so many wonderful memories.
The Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, July 26th, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. at Hillcrest Funeral Home (east on 8th Street, turn right before railway tracks) with Pastor Harley Johnson officiating.
Interment to follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan.
Arrangements are entrusted to Dawn Engel, HILLCREST FUNERAL HOME
Mr. Judson "Jud" Oscar Hallett
September 13, 1921 - August 3, 2007
With great sadness but with thanks for a life well lived, the family of Judson (Jud) Oscar Hallett, announce his passing on August 3, 2007 at the age of 85 years and 11 months.
Jud will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 64 years, Joyce; his daughter Lynne (Maurice) Tait of Regina Beach, SK; his grandchildren and great grandchildren were a special joy in his life – granddaughter Cindy (Dan) Clifford of Regina and their girls Courtney and Chelsey and his grandson Jeff (Cara) Tait of Regina and their newborn daughter Paige.
Jud was born on September 13, 1921 to Jesse and Goldia Hallett and was predeceased by six sisters and three brothers.
He leaves behind his sister Goldia Glass of Central Butte, SK; his brother Carl of Ile-a-la-Crosse, SK; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
Jud grew up in Chaplin, SK and received his teaching certificate from Normal School, Moose Jaw where he met his wife, Joyce.
During the Second World War, Jud joined the army and then transferred to receive his Navigator wings with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Dad remained a member of the Canadian Legion for 59 years and was a member of the Elks and the United Church.
After the war, Jud changed careers and was a Rural Municipal Administrator in Climax, Spring Valley, Semans, and Indian Head, SK before retiring to Regina in 1984.
Dad was very community minded and always volunteering.
Learning and love of life were his passions. Joyce and Jud loved to travel, and at their winter home in Yuma, Arizona, Dad discovered his talent at oil painting and genealogy - uncovering the fact that his ancestors came to New York in the early 1600’s.
Jud’s family were special to him and he supported and attended many of their celebrations including the Remembrance Day ceremonies at his great granddaughters’ school. We will miss him.
A special thank you to the staff of Victoria Park Personal Care, Dr. De Witt and the Internal Medicine and 4A Ward nurses of the Pasqua Hospital.
A MEMORIAL SERVICE will be held at Regina Funeral Home, Hwy #1 East, Regina, SK on Thursday, August 9, 2007 at 10:00 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association, 917a Albert Street, Regina, SK S4R 2P6.
