Scholarships followed and David had a stop in Kimberly, BC to play for the Dynamiters. David returned home to Moose Jaw and met his sweetheart Frances who he married in 1954 and started a family the following year. With 2 kids in tow David & Frances moved to Saskatoon in 1957 to further his career in the Optical Industry. As the family and career continued to grow the next stop was Vancouver in 1971. In 1995 with career behind him and family grown up David and Frances made the journey back home to Moose Jaw to spend their golden years. In these golden years David rekindled his passion with the game of golf becoming an active member at the Lynnbrook Golf and Country Club. This passion became a second career for the remaining 22 years of David’s journey. Predeceased by his father and mother Floyd and Hazel, father and mother in-laws Harry and Doris, sister in-laws Kay, Fern and brother in-law Harvey.

Dad was born on January 24, 1927 in Walhachin, BC.  There he spent his early years before moving to Kamloops with his family.  He met and married his love, Mona, on June 16, 1951.

Throughout his life, Dad worked in a variety of places—Kamloops Bakery, CP Rail (clearing the tracks on the Kettle Valley Railway) and Dawson Construction—until he found his true niche at Westcoast Transmission Company (Spectra Energy) in 1958.  He retired at the age of 62, having worked there for 32 years.  Dad was a true jack-of-all-trades; he loved keeping busy, and was never content to just sit idle. So he began his new career doing maintenance at Aberdeen McDonalds, joining Mona who was also working there at the time.  The staff room downstairs became known as “Bert’s Room”.Read More & Leave Condolences »

It is with a heavy heart to announce the sudden passing of James Adam Weisbeck on August 16^th 2017. He passed away at home at the age of 31.

James was born on May 27^th 1986 in Kelowna.  He lived his life as care free and drama free as possible. He was well known to be quite the artist in the kitchen, as he had a natural talent when it came to cooking and cultivating herbs. One of his favorite things to do was preparing “epic meal times” for his friends. He was also very passionate about the outdoors, pursuing mountain biking, kayaking, camping, or whatever kind of trouble he could find as long as he was with his friends. He had a large and caring heart and has performed several random acts of kindness towards strangers throughout the years. He did not believe in getting hung up on what someone did or didn’t have, but rather was just happy being in the moment. James got along with anyone, but has always held his loved ones close to his heart and always made time for them.  James had a love for metal music. So much in fact, he created a page on YouTube (multi-level metal) in order to ask bands for permission to upload his favorite songs and help those artists promote their music.  He was the shining light in many of our lives and will be dearly missed.Read More & Leave Condolences »
