BROWN: Brian Logan Goodfellow Brown of Carberry, son of Abie and Delma Brown born May 16, 1946 passed away in the early hours of Feb 8, 2013. That morning I lost my best friend and partner of over 41 years, our children and grandchildren lost a loving parent and grandfather who loved them very much and enjoyed watching them grow. Many family members and friends came to show their support for their brother, brother-in-law, uncle and valued friend. We had a memorable afternoon enjoying Mom's homemade apple pie and reminiscing with loved ones, our pie party was the talk of the 4th floor of Brandon General Hospital that day. Brian was a favorite with the nurses with his ready laugh and bright blue eyes. They often said that it was nice to have a patient so appreciative of their care, even if it was 4 in the morning. Our community has also lost a talented neighbour, with a fully stocked shop, who was always able to help out with many repairs. Usually followed up with a few good stories and laughs over coffee. Brian was a farmer, a fabricator of machinery, a carpenter, a mechanic; as a matter of fact there wasn't much he couldn't do. Brian loved spending his winters in Texas with friends, and his occasional evenings out fishing with friends and family. Because of Brians love of music and good ear, he was able to play a number of instruments, including the button accordion. He leaves to morn his loving wife, children, grandchildren, brother, sisters, nieces, nephews and their families, who will forever remember his sense of humor and loving nature. A gathering to celebrate Brian's life will be held on Saturday, February 16, 2013 from 1:00-3:00pm at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 153, Carberry, Manitoba. Donations in Brian's memory may be made to the Carberry Ag Society. Seasons Funeral Chapel in OakBank, MB in care of arrangements 204-444-5444.

SIMPSON: The death of Ronald Francis Simpson, beloved husband of Bernice, occurred on Friday, February 8, 2013 at the Brandon Regional Health Centre. Ronald Simpson was born at Shoal Lake, Manitoba on July 20, 1925, the only son of Edmund and Susan Simpson. He attended Wheatfield Elementary School and Shoal Lake High School. After finishing school, he began working with his father on their farm. In 1947, when he was 22 years old, the family moved to a farm east of the village of Brookdale, Manitoba. Many hours were spent over the following years, not just farming, but planning and improving all aspects of the farm. He was always interested in new farming methods and the new farm machinery which was developed over the years. He was also keenly interested in co-operatives, serving on the board of directors of the Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op for 17 years, retiring in 1985. He also served on the board of the Brookdale Pool Elevator Association and the Beautiful Plains Credit Union. While visiting relatives in Brantford, Ontario, in March 1974, he met Bernice Burley. Bernice was a registered nurse, working at the General Hospital there. They were married on November 9, 1974 in Brookdale United Church. With the arrival of three children, their family was complete. Both his parents came from large families, and Ronald had many cousins in Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia, and the US. He maintained contact with many of these relatives over the years, with a genuine interest in them and their families. Family history was important to him, especially on the Simpson side. An article on the early Shoal Lake settlers written by Ronald was published in the second volume of the Shoal Lake History Book, Ripples on the Lake, in 2007. He was an avid story teller, who loved to pass down the stories of the early days from his father to his nieces and nephews and anyone else who would lend an ear. Retiring from farming in 1995, Ronald continued living on the farm until 2008, when he and Bernice moved to Monterey Estates in Brandon. Ronald had a long standing battle with cancer. He survived prostate and colon cancer; finally succumbing to Liver cancer on Friday, February 8, 2013. Ronald is survived by his loving wife Bernice; son Charles (Connie) of Calgary; daughter Sharon (Hector) Menzies of Brandon; daughter Irene of Edmonton; five grandchildren; one great grandchild; sister Grace (Reg) Jones of Brandon; sister-in-law Beverley Rath of London, Ontario; brother-in-law Robert Burley of Montreal, Quebec, and eleven nieces and nephews. He will be deeply missed by all. The funeral service will take place at Memories Chapel, 330 18th Street North on Friday, February 15, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Riverside Cemetery, Neepawa. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, 415 – 1st Street, Brandon, Manitoba R7A 2W8, would be appreciated.

LOVELACE: Harold Wesley “Chid” Lovelace passed away peacefully at the Souris Personal Care Home Saturday, January 26th, 2013 with family by his side. Chid was born October 6, 1922 in Souris, Manitoba to Sydney and Edith Lovelace. Dad lived in Souris until the CPR closed down its division office forcing his Dad, a railroader, and his family to move to Winnipeg. Here he completed his high school at Daniel McIntyre and onto Success Business College where he acquired his vast knowledge of shorthand which he still used daily. As WWII broke out he enlisted in the Air Force and due to a medical condition he was grounded from flying and was posted to Suffield Base in Alberta. After the War, Dad returned to Souris and worked for Murray’s Garage as Parts Manager. He caught up with old friends one being Aileen Lovatt, a pretty young nurse from the hospital. He convinced her to go out with him and they were married October 2, 1948. Along came three daughters and our very special memories of trips to Oak Lake and who could see the lake first. Songs along the way, You are my Sunshine, I’ve been working on the Railroad, and tents built for us on the beach. Dad continued at Murray’s and later became a school bus driver. Dad and Mom enjoyed many trips to Arizona and truly enjoyed their home at the “Edge” where he could putter and acquire all the “miscellaneous” items he could. Dad took great pride in his seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren and all their varied interests. He loved children and they were always excited to see what coin he could produce from behind their ear and the funny under the chin wave he would greet them with. Dad was predeceased by wife Aileen and his siblings Connie, Ed, Floyd and sister Dorothy and very special nephew Ron Banting. Dad will be lovingly remembered by daughters Pauline and Blaine Canning, Carolynne and Bob Russell and Brenda and Brian Green and especially remembered by Angela, Roger, Ellamay and Adeline, Michael and Jessica, Melanie and Mario, Amy, Victoria and Adam, Mathew and Melissa, Jenna and Lee and special friend Ivy Watkin.
