KENNETH EDWARD PECKETT With sadness we announce the passing of Kenneth Edward Peckett, 76 years, at the Riverview Health Centre on Saturday, October 6, 2012. Ken will be lovingly remembered by his devoted wife of 50 years, Ina Ruth, his children: Marilyn (Derek); Greg (Liane); Jeffrey; and Carla; along with five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, as well as his brother Frank (Ellie) and sister June. Ken was predeceased by his father, Frank in 1991 and his mother, Anna in 1992. Ken was mechanically gifted and followed a lifetime career in aircraft maintenance, ultimately with Transport Canada for 31 years when he retired in 1990. He enjoyed working with his hands, riding his motorcycles, hunting and fishing. With his retirement in August 1990, Ken and Ina packed up a few belongings and headed west to British Columbia to start a new life in sunny Duncan on Vancouver Island where they remained for 22 years until their family welcomed them home in August, 2012. A celebration of life and remembrance will be held on Saturday, October 13 at Waverley Church, 1271 Waverley Street at 1:00 p.m. The interment will take place at Waverley Memorial Gardens, 1501 Waverley Street followed by a reception back at Waverley Church. In lieu of flowers and in honour of Ken's love of pets, memorial contributions may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society 45 Hurst Way R3T 0R3. The family wishes to acknowledge the kind care provided by staff at the Grace Hospital and the Riverview Health Centre.

Dear Carla, Thinking of you and your family these sad days. I remember when I first met your Dad. He and your mom came to dinner at our home. Sami got so excited that he urinated on your Dad's shoes. (I think they were new) Your Dad must have been an animal lover, because he took it all in good stride and laughed when he got over the shock. I wish I had the opportunity to know him better. I do know that you and he were very close. - Posted by: Vivienne Rowan (Close friend and Sami's mom) on: Oct 13, 2012

Ken. You were a true friend. I remember the day we met at TJ'S campground in Westbourne Mb. We would fish all day and all we would catch would be a carp. We would share fishing & hunting stories. Ken would pick me up and we would head for Pipestone, Mb. to the Walter & Cathy McFall's ranch for the yearly white tail hunt. Ken was very particular in every thing he did. That's why we got along so well. I always hoped to visit Ken & Ina in Duncan and wished to go salmon fishing some day. Ken: May you Rest in Peace and some day we may meet again. Our deepest sympathy to: Ina, Marilyn, Jeff, & Carla Gord & Suzanne Zahara - Posted by: Gord Zahara (friend) on: Oct 12, 2012

Dear Carla Even though we never met your dad we both know the sadness you must feel at this time and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Remember he is your guardian angel and he will always be with you. Here is a poem that is very close to my heart, it brings a tear to my eyes at times but also comforts me when I am low and I want to share it with you so it may help to comfort you. When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready in heaven above and that I'd have to leave behind all those I love. So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, please know I'm in your heart. Love to you and your family Robin & Bill - Posted by: Robin & Bill McCausland (friends) on: Oct 11, 2012
