HUBERT HENRY SEARLE

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband and father, Hubert (Bert) Searle on Friday, Oct. 3, 2003 at the age of 79. He passed away suddenly due to complications after a courageous battle with cancer.
He was born May 13, 1924.
Bert is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Marge; two daughters, Margaret (Stanley) Blasky and Patricia (George) Wicek; sister, Elsie (Bill Walton); grandchildren, Lori (Brent) Farrow, Chris (Rebecca) Blasky, Tammy (Colin) Colliou, Tracy (Gary) Jensen, Sherry (Kevin) Randall, David Searle, and Stephan (Stacey) Wicek; and great-grandchildren, James Farrow, Jerald Eyford, Nicholas Eyford, and Tyler Randall.
He was predeceased by his parents, Rose and Hubert Searle; brothers, Derek and Erik Searle; and his son, Colin.
The family wishes to extend their thanks to the compassionate staff at the Riverside Health Care Hospital in Fort Frances and the Intensive Care staff at the Victoria Hospital in Winnipeg who did all they possibly could to save him, and for that we will always be grateful.
Cremation has taken place.
A service for family and friends will be held Friday, Oct. 10, 2003 at 3 p.m. at Riverview Cemetery in Fort Frances.
In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, the Salvation Army, or the charity of your choice.
Thanks for the wonderful years you gave us,
And for all the good times we shared.
We only pray that when you left us,
You knew how very much we cared.
God saw you getting very tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you,
And whispered, “Come with me.”
So when we saw you sleeping,
So peaceful, free from pain,
We could not wish you back,
To suffer that again.
