He is also survived by his sister, Phyllis Karsin, of Arborg, MB, and brother Ralph (Paz) of Grand Forks, BC, and many special nieces and nephews. Dad was predeceased by his siblings Joyce, Gladys, Ella, Roy and twin brother Stan. Dad was born on May 22, 1926 on the family farm near Ashville, MB. Dad and Mom and family made their home in Thompson from 1958 to 1983 where Dad worked as a safety supervisor at International Nickel Company. Dad loved to fish, and spent a lot of time at Paint Lake where the family built a log cabin. He also enjoyed golfing and curling and served on Thompson City Council, the Rotary Club and was one of the founding members of the United Church in Thompson. After retirement, Dad and Mom moved to Winnipeg and then to the family farm where Dad farmed with his brother Stan for several years and they later moved to Gilbert Plains. Their winters were spent at Pine to Palm Park in Weslaco, TX. They made many friends and had fun golfing, shuffling, dancing and enjoying the warm weather. Dad and Mom also enjoyed their travels and cruises. Dad was always the life of the party. He liked to tell jokes, play cards, and always loved music. Most of all, he was a people person and enjoyed being with his family and friends. Time spent at the cottage at Clear Lake was very special. Dad was truly devoted to his family and many happy memories will make us smile even as we mourn him. A memorial service to celebrate his life will take place at 2:00 p.m. on May 17, 2014 at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard.

Was just trying to track down Inez and found your Dad's obituary. Sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Mr. Alguires huge smile and warm chuckle whenever kids were around. Hope we can get in touch.

Cliff & Elsie were great friends and neighbours to our parents Carl and Margaret and to our whole family, on Hickory Street and at Paint Lake. In the early days, Cliff, my Dad, and I would roll out in the middle of the night to answer fire calls, followed by Tom Moody and Jim Stevenson who also lived on Hickory. Cliff was a happy, kind, wonderful man, always there for others, and a great gift to us all. It has been one of life's blessings to have known him. Our sympathies to Elsie and all Cliff's family. - Posted by: John & Jane Nesbitt (Friend & Neighbour) on: May 12, 2014
