Mr. Lionel Pillar November 24, 1949 - February 3, 2009 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lionel Pillar, loving husband, father, brother, grandfather and friend on Tuesday, February 3, 2009 at the age of 59 years. Lionel was born November 24, 1949 in Prince Albert to Thomas and Theresa Pillar. On September 19, 1970 he began his life with his love, Margaret and they enjoyed 39 years of marriage together. Lionel’s passion for his work, as he was employed with the Department of highways for 41 years, was unsurpassed, but his true love was for his family and his 3 friendly companions Cleo, Sammy and Digger. Whether it was camping, fishing, golfing or watching NASCAR with his wife Margaret or cheering on his grandchildren at their hockey games, he was where his heart wanted him to be. He will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Margaret, his children Carey (Lana), Lionel (Lianne) and Melissa (Lee Demmans); his sisters Lorraine (Robert Wilhelm) and Diane (Rick Graham); his grandchildren Steven, Cole, Joshua and McKenna; his stepmother Dorothy Pillar and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Thomas and Theresa (nee Clavier) Pillar. Due to Lionel’s love for hockey from a small boy to the day he passed on, it is asked that in lieu of flowers that memorial donations be made to the Prince Albert Minor Hockey Association. A Celebration of Lionel’s life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Monday, February 9 from St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church – 260-25th Street East by Father Matthew Nguyen. Interment of cremated remains will take place in the Garden of Gethsemane, Prince Albert Memorial Gardens. Family and friends may send email condolences to www.riverparkfuneral.ca. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care of RIVER PARK MEMORIAL CHAPEL. 764-2727 Don Moriarty – Funeral Director
