Percy will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 57 years, Irma, his son Cory (Jennifer), his daughter Terri (John), and grandchildren Tyler (Katie), Bret, Kyle, and Dylan. He will be dearly missed by his brothers and sisters, Faye Carson, Sam Chegwin (Connie), David Chegwin (Sharon), Darryl Chegwin (Patti), Brian Chegwin, Bonnie Cottingham (Tom), and Irma's family, Irene McKean, Ed Jolley (Rita), Bob Jolley (Joan) as well as so many extended family members and friends. Percy loved family and friends so much and treasured everyone in his life. Percy was born on the family farm near Vista, MB on October 5, 1936. His lifelong interest was in agriculture and after farming with his father and working with his cousin's construction company, he was hired at the Brandon Research Station. Percy worked for a few years in the Beef Cattle Department until he moved to Farm Manager where he retired from his career after 30 years. A highlight of his career was the opportunity to go to Tanzania, East Africa, with the family to live and work on a Canadian Wheat Project for over 2 years. In 2006, Percy and Irma moved to Leduc, AB to live closer to their children and grandchildren. Leduc came to also offer a rich community of friends with many fun times at the Telford House Seniors Centre. Throughout his life he was very active volunteering in his community and church and was always ready to lend a hand to anyone. Service above self was a large part of Percy's life. The family extends their sincerest thanks for the kindness and care he received from the Dr. Byers, Dr. Steels and all staff at Salem Manor Personal Care Home, Leduc, AB. A private family service was held on Saturday, February 27, 2021. In lieu of flowers, we encourage donations to the Salem Manor Society or charity of your choice; The Salem Manor Society, 4419 46 Street, Leduc, AB, T9E 6L2.
