GARRY HENRY DOYLE June 4, 1934 - September 13, 2014 Suddenly on Saturday, September 13, 2014 Garry passed away at Kin Place Personal Care Home, Oakbank, MB. He was predeceased by his sister, Eileen. Garry was born in Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia. He spent his early life in Inverell, New South Wales, graduating with top honours in economics in his final year at Inverell High School. He attained his Bachelor of Arts and a Diploma of Education at the University of New England, Armidale, commencing his teaching career at Narrabri. He also earned his Bachelor of Economics through the University of Queensland. His desire to travel sent him to Tanzania, Africa along with his wife Edith and daughter Manon, to teach for two years. Next step was a short stint in England, followed by immigration to Canada. He taught in Whitemouth and Selkirk, earning his Bachelor of Education through the University of Manitoba in 1968. While in Manitoba, he was promoted to principal, starting at Eriksdale and then moving to Gypsumville and Kelwood. During this time he earned his Masters of Education through the University of Manitoba in 1977. He settled in as principal at McCreary, shifting back to teaching in the later years. Garry was also an avid beekeeper, layering this on with teaching for a time, while he lived at McCreary. He extracted honey every fall and sold honey to the local residents. He always took joy in being able to deliver fresh honey to many loyal customers. In springtime, he always looked forward to the Onanole flea market, where he could socialize with people in attendance and sell honey. Garry always enjoyed getting caught up with old customers and meeting new ones. Bee-keeping was a true passion and even sweeter when he could make new friends when selling honey. He leaves his daughter Manon Anders, her husband Roy, granddaughters, Chelsea O'Leary (Des) and Casey (Jojo Ablang), grandsons Ward and Wyatt, and great-grandchildren Sienna, Ryan, Alison, Seán. He also leaves his wife Marguerite, her son James Turnbull (Leanne) and their children Tanesa, Haley and Jaden. Funeral Service for Garry will be held on Sunday, September 21, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. in Seasons Funeral Chapel, 576 Balsam Crescent, Oakbank, MB. Viewing is at 1:30 p.m. Interment to follow in the Sunnyside Cemetery, 64087 Heatherdale Road, Oakbank, MB. www.seasonsfunerals.ca
