Canora Courier, January 21, 2009 Page 13 SHCHYSCHUK:
In loving memory of our dear father, grandfather and brother, Laddie. He
had a nature you could not help loving. And
a heart that was purer than gold; And
to those who knew him and loved him, His
memory will never grow cold. -Your
loving family, Barbara, Chrissy, Anna and Peter. Canora Courier, January 21, 2009 Page 14 LANDSTAD:
Millard George Landstad of Canora, passed away suddenly on January 5th, 2009
at the age of 73 years. He was born on July 25th, 1935 to Palmer and Annie
(Wilson) Landstad near Sheho. SK, in the White Sand District. As
a young boy he attended Mainroad School. At 16 years of age he received his
chauffeur's license and drove truck for George Wilson in
Buchanan, SK. He was then offered a dealership with Shell Canada in Canora,
where he was an agent for 35 years. Retirement did not slow him down; he was
always helping his son, Greg, at his business. In addition to his career,
Millard was also quite involved in the community. He was a volunteer fireman
for 17 years as well as the fire chief for seven years. His love of fishing
and hunting led him to be involved in the executive of the Canora Fish and
Game and later was a long-time member of the Canora Wildlife Federation. In
retirement, he donated his time and skills at the CN All Aboard Museum. He
met the love of his life, Alice Wlasichuk and they married on September
23,1959; they would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year.
They were blessed with four sons: Garry, Greg, Grant and Robbie. Millard took
great pride in guiding and watching his sons grow up. His time spent with his
sons involved not only fishing, hunting and trapping, but coaching hockey and
baseball and time spent with them at Scout camps. He felt blessed with his 11
grandchildren who were the apple of his eye. Millard will be dearly missed by
his family and friends. Millard
is lovingly remembered by his wife Alice, his four sons and their families,
Garry (Cyndie), Jessica, Andrea and Alison, Greg, (Shann) Ashley, Kaitlyn, and
Brendon, Grant (Audrey) Carly, Hailey and Rylan, and Robbie (Annie) Kellan and
Madeleine; and his sister Merle (Walter) Tratch. Millard was predeceased by
his parents, Palmer and Annie (Wilson) Landstad. Prayers were held on Thursday January 8th, 2009 and Funeral Service was held on Friday, January 9th, 2009, both from the Chapel of Leson's Funeral Home, Canora with Rev. Catherine Pace of the United Church of Canada officiating. Interment followed in the Canora Cemetery.
