KACERIK, Karol 2008-01-29 1924-2008 In sadness, the family announces the peaceful passing on Thursday, January 24, 2008 of Karol Kacerik, beloved son of George and Katarina Kacerik. Karol was born in Horny Vadicov, Czechoslovakia on May 14, 1924 and immigrated to Canada in the early 50‘s to be with his Mom, Dad and brother. In his younger years, Karol‘s job as a salesman allowed him to see much of Canada along with an opportunity to establish long lasting friendships in various cities from Vancouver thru Montreal. Later he was employed with Comstock in the construction field which took him to sites as far away as the Yukon. Through these experiences he developed an interest in traveling the world and visited not only his homeland but also the Philippines and Japan. Along with holding an interest in automobiles, he loved to philosophize about life and enjoyed discussing world issues and politics. Much of this knowledge was obtained by him listening in on short wave broadcasts. Karol had a deep love for his family but it was his mother that he had a particular love and affinity for. Karol is survived by his brother Joseph (Magdalena), niece Evelyn (Ed ) Synak, nephew Igor (Irene) and their children Lyndsi and Kimberlee. He was predeceased by his father George, mother Katarina and sister in law Aurelia Kacerik. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, January 31, 2008 when family and friends will gather for the Funeral Mass in St. Peter‘s Church at 1:00pm celebrated by Rev. Wayne Bolton s.j.

FLETCHER, Dr. H. F. (Bob) Peacefully in Victoria, BC on 27 January, 2008. Born 15 February, 1923, Bob was the beloved husband of Dorothy (nee Elvidge) for 58 years; loving father of Eric (Katharine), Steven (Martine), Janet (Ron) Citynski, Terry (Monique), Greg (Michelle), and Laurie (George) Schell. He will also be missed by his 14 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. A life-long environmentalist and provocative futurist thinker, Bob always challenged family and everyone he knew to think creatively and compassionately outside the box, always encouraging everyone to stretch their minds. Bob was born in Summerland and grew up in Victoria. After graduation from UBC, he worked at the Agassiz Agricultural Research Station during the 1950s. In 1960, he took his family for a 2-year break to obtain his PhD in Agronomy at the University of Illinois. In the mid-60s, the family moved to Ottawa, where Bob worked in water resources and then the new Department of Environment. When he retired, he remained very active, building an environmentally-friendly log home near Ottawa and taking on various international consulting projects, including a memorable 3-year contract in India. He was also very involved with a number of professional associations, and in particular, the Canadian Association for the Club of Rome for more than 20 years. Bob returned to Victoria with Dorothy in 2000, where they particularly enjoyed visits with their grandchildren to debate political and environmental issues of the day. We will miss him, yet his memory, support, and "Hey, let's do it" attitude will continue to guide us. A small Memorial Reception will be held in MCCALL BROS. FAMILY CENTRE, Johnson and Vancouver Streets, Victoria, on Wednesday, January 30th at 1:00 p.m. He has asked that people not send flowers, but consider making a donation honouring caregivers to the Mount St Mary Foundation (861 Fairfield Rd, Victoria BC, V8V 5A9).

O'DONOGHUE, Joseph Patrick P.Eng (retired) 1926 - 2008 Born February 20, 1926 in St. Catharines, Ontario. Passed away in Calgary on January 27, 2008 surrounded by family after a courageous battle with cancer. For over fifty-six years, the loving husband and best friend of Jacqueline LaPrairie O'Donoghue. Patient and understanding dad of Maureen (Dwayne Grant), Colleen (Barrie Marsh), Michael, Patrick (Sylvie Boivin), Daniel (Deborah), Brian, Joseph (Linda), Sean and Shannon. And Lord knows, we needed plenty of patience and understanding. Tremendous grandfather to Jesse, Jacob (and their mother Kate); Declan, Brynn (and his mother Rami); Stacey, Mitchell, Kyle, Scott; Marie-Claire, Kilian; Kevin, Shane, Katie (and their mother Cathy); Kaitlyn, Andrew; Kelly, Courtenay and Meaghan. Special uncle to sixty nieces and nephews, and Joe will be sorely missed by so many of his children's friends. Predeceased by son Kevin John, sisters Marie, Eileen, and Patricia and brothers John (CSB) and George. Survived by one sister Hope Bouchard, Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON. Joe was the sixth of seven O'Donoghue children of Joseph and Katherine. He joined the Canadian Navy in 1944. After the war Joe attended University of Toronto, graduating with a BSc. in Chemical Engineering. He worked for Foster Wheeler Ltd. from 1950 to 1991. Joe and Jacqueline enjoyed many years of camping, hiking and cross-country skiing with their family and coaching his children's sports teams. Swimming has been a long-time routine at the South YMCA. Over the years they have hosted many young people from all over the world - as Joe would say, "strays", brought home by his children for home cooking, warm beds and family time. Their wide circle of friends has always been a major part of their lives. Our heartfelt thanks to the staff of Rockyview General Hospital's Unit 59, who proved to be superstars in their care for Joe; and we are grateful for the many family and friends who offered support during his illness.

WASDEN, Lois Roberta August 19, 1921 - January 26, 2008 On Saturday, January 26 of this year we lost our beloved mother Lois Roberta Wasden, after a brief illness, at the age of 86 years. Lois was born in Saskatoon, SK on August 19, 1921 to John and Mary Thurston, the third of their five children. During her childhood, young Lois developed her considerable talent for singing and participated successfully in many vocal competitions. It was during an appearance on one of the many Saskatoon radio programs she performed in during the Second World War that she met a young announcer who was to become her husband. On October 18, 1944 she married Eric William Arthur Wasden in Saskatoon where they lived until their move to Calgary in 1951. They raised their three children together in Calgary until Dad's untimely passing in 1977. Mom loved the sun and it was in that year together we made the first of her several trips to her favourite place on earth, Hawaii. She had a wonderful sense of style and always took great care in her appearance. Wherever Mom went in her life she made many friends with her caring and fun-loving nature and her kind and generous spirit will be remembered by all who were fortunate to have had her enter their lives. This also applied to the dogs and cats who were lucky enough to have found themselves a part of her life, for she loved and cared for them like her children. She was a truly loving and caring mother to the three of us and a proud grandmother to her cherished granddaughters, Caitlyn and Jacquelyn. Mere words cannot begin to express the deep sadness we all feel at this time of her passing and we will cherish forever the love and care she gave to each of us freely and in equal measure during her lifetime. Mom was predeceased by her mother and father; her husband Eric; her sister Dorothy; and her brother Lorne. She is survived and lovingly remembered by her daughter Heather; her son Harold, his wife Carrie and their daughters, Caitlyn and Jacquelyn; by her son Harry, all of Calgary; and by her sisters, Jean Webb of Chilliwack, BC and Beryl Moffatt (and her husband Alex) of Vernon, BC; and by her sisters-in-law, Elaine Thurston of Fort Saskatchewan, AB and Vera Wasden of Saskatoon, SK; as well as many nieces and nephews. A Memorial Service will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY'S Fish Creek Chapel (14441 Bannister Road S.E.) on Friday, February 1, 2008 at 2:30 p.m. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com . In lieu of flowers, we would greatly appreciate your donations in Mom's memory to the Meow Foundation, P.O. Box 65024 RPO North Hill, Calgary, AB T2N 4T6 (Telephone 403-230-6033, www.meowfoundation.com ). In living memory of Lois Wasden, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Fish Creek Chapel, 14441 BANNISTER ROAD S.E. Telephone: 403-256-9575.
