On March 23rd, the world lost one of the most amazing, caring and perseverant matriarchs that her family knew. For a woman in her 80’s she was truly stunning. We are happy that she lived a long life and watched her children and grandchildren grow up. Although her life was cut short so suddenly, we are so grateful for the time we had with her. Our mom’s strength inspired many to rise above challenging circumstances and find the good in seemingly difficult situations. She was a titan in her family and to all those she helped. Our mom’s faith in Jesus and her commitment to First Assembly of God Church kept her strong and resilient. Our household was always open to others for dinners, bible studies and fellowship. Both our parents loved to entertain, and mom enjoyed cooking up large feasts for others. Her curry chicken, dhalpuri roti and fried rice were loved by all. Ruby’s dedication to her friends was admirable. Her loss has been felt across our community. With heavy hearts, we will miss you dearly, mom.

His interests in music and travel took him to many places in his lifetime including working with and traveling with many bands.
After taking up residence in Medicine Hat, he began managing various restaurants. He later started his own restaurant and cafe at the Medicine Hat Airport for a number of years. After the airport closed to renovate, Bill decided to lease out the Whiskey Creek restaurant with his brother Gordon and sister-in law Claire.
Bill enjoyed good conversations on a variety of topics with his customers, friends and family. When the lease was done, Bill decided it was time to fulfil his dream and semi-retire at his favourite pub BoBos in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. This was where he wanted to spend his senior years doing what he loved, being on the beach and at BoBos. His lifelong dream ended short when he passed away in Mexico. He will be sadly missed by his family, as well as many friends, throughout the world. Bill will be cremated in Mexico where he wanted to retire.
