LYALL PALMER WOOD
Peacefully,
on Tuesday, October 14, 2014, at the Riverview Health Centre, Dad lost his
courageous battle with cancer at the age of 85 years.
Remaining
to forever cherish Dad’s memory are his children, Pat (Jim), Ken (Yvonne), Bob
(Jo-Anne) and Wendy (Allen); forever known as Bumpa to his grandchildren and
their spouses, Kim, Roland, Erin, Stacey, Chris, Alice, Elise, Kevin, Tara,
Michael, Jamie; and 17 great-grands; as well as brother Joe (Lucille); sister
Margaret (Bob); and sister-in-law Jayne. He was predeceased by the love of his
life for 60 years “Bet”; his parents, Carl and Hazel Wood; granddaughter
Bonnie; brother Sheldon; and sister Merle.
Dad
(Woody) was born in Rossburn, MB, on July 7, 1929, moving to Elm Creek at the
age of seven. After graduation he
attended school in Winnipeg where he met his future bride Betty. Dad’s main career choice was with Singer
Sewing Machine Co. as a mechanic and later promoted to Western Canadian Service
Manager in Surrey, BC. He was an active
member of Sturgeon Creek Masonic Lodge #145 and O.E.S., Electa #2. Bumpa loved family gatherings, camping with
his motorhome, telling stories of his life, watching sports, showing us how to
be the Master Scrabble player of the family, making sure he had a loonie for
his grands and doing crossword puzzles.
A
“Celebration of Life” will take place on Saturday, October 18, 2014 at 4:00
p.m. in Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel, 1020 Main Street at Manitoba Avenue, Winnipeg.

family would like to thank the staff at Riverview and WRHA, Palliative Care
