OBITUARIES
Dennis Logan October 10, 1941 - January 9, 2017
D
ennis C. Logan, age 75, of Gull Lake SK, passed away January 9, 2017 at Cypress Regional Hospital, after a long courageous battle with prostate cancer. Dennis was born in Gull Lake on October 10, 1941. He took his schooling at Earview and Gull Lake High School. Dennis married Linda Davies on May 27, 1961. He drove school bus and worked for his dad and for Dean and Lorraine Mortensen until 1963 when he was employed by the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. He started buying grain in Abbey, then went to St. Aldwyn, Antelope and Gull Lake, also relieving at Fosterton, Carmichael, Tompkins, Piapot and Webb. He retired in 2000 after 34 years. He bought the O.W. Howard farm in 1978 and farmed it until 2006 when poor health forced him into retirement. Dennis belonged to the 4H Grain and Beef Clubs, and was a Past Exalted Leader of the B.P.O.E. He also played baseball and football in his younger years. He was an avid curler until his health failed. Golf was a pastime as time permitted. Dennis never turned down a game of cribbage, especially against Linda, who he could beat almost every game. Watching sports filled his time over the past few years. He and Jim never missed a shot in curling or a home
run in baseball. He was Colton's #1 fan in hockey, baseball and football. Dennis and Linda loved to camp, starting with an 8' x 8' tent and ending with a 5th wheel trailer. They both enjoyed travelling, from the Maritimes, Niagra Falls to Victoria BC, Disneyland, Las Vegas, Hawaii and Mexico. Dennis is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Linda; son Rod (Coralee) of Airdrie, their children, Chanda (Maurice Carr) and children, Mathias and Meleah of Toronto, Brandy of Calgary and Jaxon at home; daughter, Ronda (Dennis Leahy) and their son, Colton, of Gull Lake; sister, Irene (Glenn Davidson); brothers-inlaw, Bob (Kathy Davies),
Bill (Pat) Davies; and many nieces and nephews. Dennis was predeceased by his parents, Clarence in 1992 and Medora in 1995; parents-in-law, Ed Davies in 1986 and Muriel Davies in 1995; brothers, Carman in 2000, Barry in 2016; sister-in-law, Lil, in 2000; nephew, Tony Logan in 2013; and niece, Kris Bang in 2016. A memorial service was held in the Gull Lake Community Hall on Friday, January 20, 2017, with Reverend Eleanor Rockabar officiating. The Life Tribute was read by Jack Montgomery. Honorary Pallbearers were Jim Busse, Bentley and Jill Gibson, Omran and Rose Zanidean, Art and Judy Johnston, and Terry and Pat Busse. The ushers were Tim Davidson and Cory Logan. Lunch was served by the Gull Lake Senior's Club.

SPIRITUAL GLEANINGS
Deepening Our Perspective By Joyce Sasse
kate@advancesouthwest.com
O
nce people named to the position of “Elder” held important responsibility in our church’s tradition, for they worked closely with the minister to care for the well-being of the congregation. But the terminology fell out of favour as younger people volunteered to serve on Church Councils and committees. As we by-passed the terminology, we also bypassed some of the depth of meaning for the work done. “Eldership” isn’t something that is donned like one might put a cloak on, or assume a title. It is
more like a quality that one attains over a period of time – acquiring wisdom, gaining the respect of others, finding deeper meaning for life … It is almost like developing an aura of grace and dignity. Native colleagues, while helping me understand their cultural traditions, coached me by saying “you could become an elder too”. But I didn’t understand fully what they meant until I watched the film “Elder in the Making”, in which a younger Blackfoot man introduces his Chinese-Canadian friend to the historical story of the Pikanii and Kainai people. By witnessing the pride of culture, the pain of suffering, the feeling of trib-
al-belonging shown here, we see how people who are part of that culture can “ripen” as they gain depth of understanding, work through the tough spots and recognize their responsibility within the community. Whichever community we belong to, be it family, tribe, church, neighbourhood, we can work toward becoming one of the “elders” – and that mantel can be worn with both pride and humility. “Elder in the Making” can be watched as a 6-part series on YouTube. The simplicity with which the stories are told invites all of us to consider how our story might help any of us become elders in the making.
