OBITUARY FREDERICK “FRED” BURTON MCINTYRE It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Frederick “Fred” Burton McIntyre. In the early morning of August 24, 2016, Fred passed away at Thompson General Hospital. Fred was being comforted by family at the time of his passing. Fred was 88 years old. Fred was born in Grenville Quebec on August 16, 1928. He was the 5th of 8 children of Nora Ethel and Joseph Earl MacIntyre. It was during his youth he learned to make Maple Syrup on the family farm and developed a love for “real” maple syrup. However, farming was not for him and in 1947 Fred started work at Inco in Port Colbourne, Ontario. It was Inco that noticed his last name was spelt wrong on his birth certi¿cate and Fred started spelling his name “McIntyre” while the rest of his family was “MacIntyre”. Fred met his wife Ellen in Port Colbourne, Ontario while he was boarding with her Grandmother. They married on October 4, 1952 and had their oldest daughter Nora in 1957. In July of 1960 Fred was transferred to Thompson Manitoba with Inco. The only route in was by train and Inco put the family up at the Thompson Inn until their company home was available on Hemlock Crescent. Unfortunately that home started sinking and they moved across the street until they built their new home on Martin Bay in 1963. Fred and Ellen were still living in that home at the time of his death. In 1965 his youngest daughter Janet was born. In 1966 Fred started building the family’s cabin at Paint Lake. He loved the cabin and spent as much time there as he could with his family and many friends. He enjoyed hunting, ¿shing, boating, and gardening. He was very proud of his island garden and it grew larger every year. Fred loved watching the sunset over the lake with a “stubby” in hand. In the winter Fred played hockey with the Inco Shift League and bowled with his wife Ellen in the Thursday evening regular league at the Thompson Bowling Lanes. In May 1985 after 37.5 years Fred retired from Inco and started “working” with Ellen at the arena concession during the winters. Kids called him “the pop man”; others called him “Fast Freddie”. He ¿lled the pop machines, visited with friends and watched hockey. It was during this time that Fred and Ellen bought snow machines and started going to the cabin during the winter. Fred had 2 grandsons, Jonathan and Matthew Lamontagne. He was very proud of his grandsons and loved them very much. He loved to share stories of his grandchildren’s exploits and accomplishments. Fred was preceded in death by his parents Nora and Earl MacIntyre, his brothers Donald “Bunny” MacIntyre and Elmer MacIntyre, and his sisters Tini MacLean and Enid Stone. Fred is survived by his wife Ellen, his daughters Nora (Grant) Hignell, Janet (Doug) Lamontagne, his grandsons Jonathan and Matthew Lamontagne, and his sisters Beryl Woods, Dorothy McVicar, and Georgie Mott. Special thanks to Rachelle Huculak, Lori Landers, Renee MacLean the staff in emergency and on the 2nd Àoor of Thompson General Hospital, the staff NHA home care, and his many friends and neighbors who came to visit and help. A celebration of Fred’s life took place on Monday, August 29 in the Cheemo Room at the Royal Canadian Legion from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. In lieu of Àowers donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke foundation. Condolences can be directed to www.boardmanfh.com.

After all 6 children were ¿nally in school Shirley took a job with the Bank of Montreal, and later on worked for many years at Mutual Life Insurance Co. Shirley was also a member of the Thompson Chapter of the I.O.D.E. and the Thompson Hospital Auxiliary. Shirley was well liked and always had a smile and a chat for anyone she met. A real people person. True and genuine. She will be sadly missed by anyone who knew her.

In keeping with, and respecting mom’s wishes, there will not be a funeral service held. Mom is to be cremated and the family is to have a celebration of her life. We ask, on her behalf, if you choose to make a donation to a worthy cause then do so to that cause that you feel would bene¿t the most. She would have liked that. Thank you to everyone for all their cards, thoughts and kindnesses. Thank you to the Heritage Life Personal Care Home in Niverville, MB. for your kindness and care of our mother. Even though she was only with you a short time she was happy and liked you all. Where are we now? How do we go on? It’s true what they say…“there is no love greater than a Mother’s love.” So for all of us Roy girls it is the greatest anguish one can feel when she is gone.

JEFFREY JAMES STANICK Brandon, Manitoba 45 years of age September 9th, 1970 - August 19th, 2016
We are very sad to announce the passing of Jeff on Friday, August 19th in Brandon Manitoba. Jeff’s passions were many and in no order he loved his family and friends. He would go to great lengths to ensure you were aware of his reliability when needed for anything at all. Jeff was an all around outdoorsman. He never turned down an opportunity to go hunting, ¿shing, quading, or sledding. He would love nothing more than to have people to his cabin and take them all around the lake. All the while be very guarded with his ¿shing spots. He organized numerous ¿shing and hunting trips with family and friends and became well known and respected as the General. Jeff came across as a big tough guy but really just had a big heart. His kindness was as big as his presence when he entered a room. Jeff had good morals and demanded the same from his family and friends, and in no uncertain terms would he miss the opportunity to set you straight if you fell short. Jeff had a natural entrepreneurial drive and was very successful at every business adventure he approached. Jeff started work at the Brick in Brandon and remained at the top of the charts for top sales across Canada. He realized his own potential and not long after opened his own Brick Franchise in Thompson, Manitoba in 2006. Throughout this time Jeff was able to purchase and develop properties including his pride possession in the Grand Valley. Jeff saw this land and home as his paradise. Jeff is predeceased by his mother Cindy Stanick and will be missed by many but it’s impossible to measure the sadness from his family. He is survived by his Dad, Brian Stanick, his brother Michael Stanick and daughter Abbey, his sister Raquelle and husband Brian Baker and children Tyler, (daughter Paisley) and Camryn, his sister Shannon and husband Chad Daciuk and children Payton and Macy. Funeral Service was held on Thursday, August 25th at 2:00 pm at St. Augustine’s Roman Catholic Church. Interment at Rosewood Memorial Gardens. Fellowship followed at the Victoria Inn Imperial Ball Room. In lieu of Àowers the family ask that you make donations to Westman Opportunities Inc. 1544 10th Street Brandon, Manitoba R7A 4H7. Braendle-Bruce Funeral Service of Russell, Manitoba (204)773-2747 in care of arrangements.
