He was devoted to his family and he adored all of his children and grandchildren. He would light up whenever they entered a room. Guy was an avid 5 pin bowler for over 40 years and bowled 3 perfect games . He loved music and dancing, golfing and traveling. His favorite holiday spot with Mil was to sunny Barbados. His most memorable vacation was to Sweden in 1985 where he had a chance to meet many of Mil's relatives. Guy and Mil had many happy times at the Scandinavian Centre playing whist and attending numerous social functions with their friends. He was a former member of Bleak House and enjoyed many cribbage games over the years. We would like to thank the 4th floor staff at Beacon Hill Lodge for their excellent care of Dad for almost two years. We are forever grateful for their compassionate care. Cremation has taken place. A private family service was held Thursday, July 17, 2008 at Neil Bardal Inc., with Reverend Hugo Unruh officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Guys memory to the Alzheimer's Society, or charity of choice. May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be ever at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand NEIL BARDAL INC. 949-2200 nbardal.mb.ca
