BIRK SPROXTON MARCH 14, 2007 ....”Yes, he is a fan, not a player, but he isn’t ready to give up. No one who has played ever gives up. Muscle memory they call it. He asks himself: How does a hockey fan play? What comes after play? More play, be/fore play? Word play?” THE HOCKEY FAN CAME RIDING, 1990 by Birk Sproxton.
BUSTAMANTE Fernando Fernando Bustamante of Red Deer passed away on Monday, March 11, 2013 at the age of 82 years. Fernando was born in Illapel, Chile on August 23, 1930. He was the youngest of eight siblings. With the passing of his parents when he was sixteen years of age, Fernando faced multiple obstacles to move on with his life. Despite the odds being against him, he worked long and hard to put himself through University, obtaining a University degree in Civil Engineering. It was during this period that he met his spouse, Gladys, with whom he had two children. In 1976, Fernando and his family moved to Canada, making Red Deer their home. Fernando was employed by the City of Red Deer (E.L.& P) for twenty years until his retirement. He loved playing tennis, and in his younger years, he enjoyed playing soccer and basketball. He was a humble soft spoken man with an incredible gift for writing. In his twenties, Fernando was part of a group of poets that sat around in coffee shops pouring their hearts, souls and dreams onto a piece of paper. Among these “Dreamers” was the world reknown and literature nobel prize winner, Pablo Neruda, with whom Fernando developed a friendship. Fernando’s love for writing continued throughout his entire life, and although he never had any of his works published, those of us who were closest to him and that he chose to share his writings with, will always remain in awe for the level of intellect and his dream to see peace reign throughout the world as his writings reflect. Fernando will be lovingly remembered by his two sons; Alvaro (Melissa) Bustamante and Claudio (Karen) Bustamante, both of Red D e e r, h i s g r a n d c h i l d r e n ; Daniel (Danielle) of Red Deer, Sabrina of Edmonton, Vicente of Edmonton, and Cristobal of Red Deer, his sister, Pilar of Italy, as well as numerous family members in his native land Chile. He was predeceased by his wife, Gladys, and six brothers and sisters. A Memorial Service for the late Fernando Bustamante will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 5508 48A Avenue, Red Deer, on Friday, March 15, 2013 at 2 p.m. Donations in Fernando’s memory may be made directly to a charity of your choice.
