wonderful it would be, To

In loving memory of Clark (Jack) Blewett, Sept. 17, 1950 - March 19, 2007. One
year ago today, you were taken away, And
you are missed every day; I
did not know, that night when we left home, You
were never coming home again. We
never even got to say goodbye, But
I still wait for you to come home, And
I still wait for you to walk through the door and say hello, hello. But
you did not go alone, For
a part of me went with you, Life
is not the same and never will be. Love
you always, Forget you never. -Remember you forever, Diana. Canora Courier, March 19, 2008 Page 15 – In memory of: IN
MEMORIAM: Of William and Caroline Yarish, John and

memories never die, As
years roll on and days pass by; In
our hearts a memory is kept, Of
the ones we love and will never forget. -With much love, Ernie and Sandy Yarish. Canora Courier, March 19, 2008 Page 16 PARNETTA:
John Parnetta of Canora beloved husband of Phyllis passed away suddenly at the
Canora Hospital on March 10th, 2008 at the age of 63 years. Wilfred
John Parnetta was born
on May 22, 1944 at the Canora Hospital as the fourth child of Pauline
(Rakochy) and Bill Parnetta. John lived in Canora all his life, and as a
result knew most everyone in town, and spent the majority of his childhood and
teenage years with his many friends and relatives, doing his best to enjoy
life to the fullest. John
started his formal working life with the Co-op Creamery, where he worked for
many years. In 1966, John married Phyllis (Herman), and they soon had their
first of three children, Karen (Wayne), followed by Lesley (Kevin), and
finally Michael (Mary). Soon after Michael was born, John and Phyllis built
and operated PJ's Drive In Restaurant on the south side of Canora for nearly
10 years. In 1984, John and Phyllis sold the business and started another,
when John purchased his first long haul truck and started a career of long
haul driving, first running throughout the Prairies, and then expanding across
Canada and the United States. It was on the open road where John truly found
his calling -- he loved being able to travel to new and interesting places,
meeting new people and making more life-long friends, and at the same time
being able to visit many of his old friends and family along the way. John
loved the outdoors and was a true sportsman. He was an avid hunter and nearly
expert fisherman. He also loved to garden, a quality he certainly learned from
his mother, along with his talent to cook better than most. In the late summer
of 2007, John was diagnosed with cancer, and immediately started aggressive
treatment to try and beat the disease. He was responding well, but in the
early hours of March 10, 2008, he passed away unexpectedly while sleeping
peacefully at his home in Canora. Above all of John's loves, the most
prominent were his family and friends, and spending quality time and taking a
genuine interest and supporting them in whatever they did. John
is lovingly remembered by his wife, Phyllis; his three children, Karen
(Wayne), Lesley (Kevin), and Michael (Mary); his grandchildren, Haley,
Brookelyn, Mya, Nate, Emma and Ethan; his brother, Albert (Trudy) and sister,
Adeline (Lawrence); his stepbrother, Donald Hnatyshen; stepsisters, Virginia
(Bill) Matichuk and Elsie (Terry) Smyth, as well as many nieces and nephews,
relatives and wonderful friends. John was predeceased by his mother Pauline
(nee Rakochy), his father, Bill, his sister, Violet (Danny) and his
stepfather, Pete Hnatyshen. The
Funeral Service was held on Thursday, March 13th, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. from the
