CLARK: Lorne Alexander. Lorne passed away suddenly in Carberry, MB on Wednesday, November 18, 2009. Lorne was born July 15, 1923 on the family farm near Somerset. Lorne attended school one mile east of his home at Harmer School. He began his lifelong love of farming in 1938 with his Dad and his brothers at their farm in the Somerset area. After he married Jessie Gates on October 24, 1953, he continued farming at Swan Lake and then later near Carberry where they moved in 1961. Lorne was always fond of horses, and enjoyed looking after them even when they were no longer needed for field work. He always had cattle on the farm and spent many happy hours working with his cattle, helping his five children raise steers for 4-H and maintaining his pasture land. Besides farming, Lorne worked as a farm labourer, a basement excavator, a landscaper and a school bus driver for 15 years. He was a talented carpenter who helped build the family home at Carberry, his son's home on the farm, and showed his fine carpentry skills by building kitchen cabinets and china cabinets. In his 70's he invented, designed, manufactured and sold cattle oilers. Lorne was enjoying watching Larry, Dustin and Marty take over the farm, watching out the window for them to drive into the yard and spending time with them as they completed their farm work. In his spare time, Lorne loved being outside, maintaining the farm and pasture land, maintaining machinery and working with his cattle. Lately his love of nature included planting and tilling the garden, planting and watering the flowerbeds, and watching the robins, swallows and hummingbirds that filled the yard. Lorne could also be found watching any one of his 13 grandchildren in whatever activity they were involved in such as baseball, curling, singing, drama, drawing, music, and hockey. He was particularly fond of watching hockey and this filled many happy hours as eight of his grandchildren played! He was thrilled to attend the St. Louis Blues tryouts with his son Laurie and grandson Andrew, as well as accompanying the Brandon AAA Midgets to Kenora, ON when they won the National Midget Championship in 2004. He was a Wheat King season ticket holder when Andrew played on the team and was looking forward to living in the town of Carberry this winter and being close to the rink to watch his grandsons, Dustin, Marty and Blayne play with the Carberry Plainsmen. Lorne loved listening to old time country music, fiddle music and playing his favourite songs by ear on the electronic organ and the harmonica. Lorne was a man of few words who loved to laugh, spend time with his family and friends, and who left a huge impression. He taught his children kindness, patience, the value of hard work and that every problem was solvable. He was predeceased by his parents, three sisters, four brothers-in-law, two brothers, and one sister-in-law. He is survived by his wife, children and grandchildren, one sister, Vera Glawson (Brandon), one brother, Gordon (Evelyn) and sister-in-law Emma, all of Treherne, Jessie’s extended family as well as many nieces and nephews. He will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 56 years, Jessie (Gates), four daughters, one son and their families: Marilyn (Murray) Day, Desiree and Courtney; Lorraine (Larry) Fisher, Dustin, Marty and Blayne; Laurie (Carol) Clark, Andrew, Michael and Rikki; Lorna (Ray) Muirhead, Erica, Madison, and Kendall; Kim (Kevin) Chambers, Alec and Owen. A funeral service to celebrate Lorne's life will be held on Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. at the Carberry United Church, Carberry, MB with Rev. Peggy Reid officiating. A private family graveside service at the Carberry Plains Cemetery will take place earlier in the day. A service of remembrance will be held at Beaconsfield Cemetery (Somerset) at a later date. Donations in memory of Lorne may be made to the Carberry Ag Society or to the Carberry Plains Community Centre.

PEPPER: Thomas Bruce Pepper passed away in Brandon, Manitoba on October 31, 2009. Bruce was born on July 17, 1929 in Avonton, Ontario. He was the youngest of five children. He spent his early years growing up and working on the family farm in St. Paul's, a small town near Stratford, Ontario. As a youngster, he spent the winters skating on the Avon River which flowed through his backyard. He loved birds and wildlife and enjoyed going into Stratford to walk along the river to see the swans. In the summer time, all the neighbours would come over to the Pepper farm and play baseball. In the winter, all the kids would get together to play bag-tag in the barn. Dad amusingly reminisced often of his younger years. He spoke fondly of his days touring on his Harley Davidson, eventually trading up for his two-door Chevy Coupe which ended up on its roof in the ditch. As a young adult, he travelled through Canada and the United States to see some sights off the family farm. He was in Brandon when he met his future wife Vera. Vera and Bruce were married in 1958. They settled in the home on the hill in 1963, where they raised five children. Together they enjoyed spending time at their summer place entertaining, relaxing and gardening. It was there that he tried to perfect his game of horseshoes. Bruce was employed with Manco Dairies for 43 years, retiring in 1993. Over the years, he shared many stories of the dairy’s original crew. He said he enjoyed his job but that he loved retirement. Dad loved being outdoors. He was happiest when out ice fishing in the winter and during the summer months he loved trolling around the lake. It wasn’t the catch that was important but the good times enjoyed with friends and family. In more recent years, he could be found “tinkering” in his garage, canning the harvest of his garden and reading. His library consists of a few thousand novels. He enjoyed word-find and jigsaw puzzles. He loved listening to his crackling, old-time country records and his collection of CD’s. He was a regular bingo player and an avid fan of Major League Baseball. He remained true to his Toronto Blue Jays with the joke being, while pitching for the Jays, he broke his finger that ended his baseball career. Dad was known for his one of a kind humour partially because he thought he was the only one that was funny. His favourite sayings were; "A fool and his money are soon parted", "You have more money than brains" and "To make you ask questions". Dad was famous for his never ending make-work projects. If Dad loved you, you knew it. If he didn't, you knew that too. Dad would help anyone with anything. He would give the shirt off his back to someone in need but he also knew that he couldn't help people who wouldn't help themselves. He spent most of his time with his furry sidekick, Barney" Old Fella" under foot and in the way. Barney changed dad's old school thinking that sick pets are taken out behind the barn. "Gramps" and "Old Fella" shared a lot of ice cream and roast beef. Dad was predeceased by his father Charles in 1933, his mother Emma in 1975, and his brothers McGowan (1993), and Lloyd (2007), John (2009). He lost his wife Vera on January 1, 2000 after 42 years of marriage and his youngest son, Murray passed away in 2003. Dad is survived by his children Rhonda, (grand-dog Barney), Barbara (Robert), Ronald, Raymond (Sandra), his sister Ruth Davidson, numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The Ceremony to Celebrate Bruce's Life was held at Memories Chapel on Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Chris Arthur officiating. Urn bearers were Rhonda Pepper and Barb Regner. Interment followed in the Brandon cemetery where both Bruce and Vera's Remains were placed in the Columbarium.
