RANCLER HALL (DOOLEY) PRITCHARD November 21, 1916 - March 2, 2001 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather on Friday, March 2, 2001 at Grace General Hospital. Dooley was predeceased by his father, mother and brother. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his wife of 59 years, Mary; son Rance (Norma) daughter Sue; son Vernon (Lynn) and daughter, Brenda (Bob) as well as eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, who loved him very much. Dooley was born in Winnipeg on November 21, 1916. He chose to live in Winnipeg for his entire life. He married the love of his life, Mary Chambers, on May 23, 1941. He affectionately called her "The Best One". He served with the R.C.A.F. as Flight Lieutenant-Pilot Navigator in the Second World War. After the war, Dooley worked his way up to Service Manager at Olivetti. He owned and operated Pritchard Business Machines for a number of years until his retirement. Dooley was a wonderful, caring father to his four children and was a devoted family man. He could always be counted on for a helping hand. Throughout his life, he had a love for horses, the race track, fishing, playing cards, bingo and gardening. But, spending time with family and friends was his greatest love of all. Viewing will be held on Wednesday, March 7 between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. in the Leatherdale Gardiner Funeral Chapel, 1858 Portage Ave. Funeral service will be held on Thursday, March 8 at 1:00 p.m., also in the chapel, with viewing half hour prior to the service. Interment will follow in the Middlechurch Cemetery. The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to Drs. Oscar and Sheila Domke and the staff at Grace General Hospital for their special care. LEATHERDALE GARDINER 1858 Portage Avenue 949-4872
