It is with great sadness that the family of Stephen David Caul announce his passing on Monday, Feb. 23, 2004 at the age of 82.
Stephen, or Buck as he was known to many, was born March 18, 1921 in Langenburg, Sask. to William and Martha Caul.
As a very young boy, Stephen moved to Rainy River District with his family, living first in Rainy River, Ont. and then La Vallee, Ont. As a teenager, he moved to his present home in Fort Frances, Ont.
Stephen had a great love of the outdoors. As a young man, he worked in the logging industry, cutting and hauling pulpwood. From 1975-86, he worked as a guard in the paper mill for Boise Cascade.
Stephen was a farmer at heart. He took great pride in raising beef cattle, clearing the land, and growing and producing hay, grain, and wonderful garden crops.
Up until his death, Stephen still could be found out on his tractor raking hay and plowing snow.
Stephen was the ultimate family man. On July 2, 1947, he married the love of his life, Mary. Stephen and Mary did everything in life together. One was never seen without the other.
He was very proud of his three children and was a fantastic support system in their lives.
Stephen leaves to mourn his wife, Mary; daughters, Betty Ann (Len) LaRocque and June Caul; and son, Bill (Luanne) Caul. He also leaves his very precious grandchildren, Shannon LaRoque, Jamie Caul, Jacquee and Jeff Savage, and Stacy, Shawn, Aaron, and Jon Caul.
Also surviving are Stephen’s sisters, Florence Drennan and Ellen Parkin; and sister-in-law, Dorothy Caul.
As per Stephen’s wishes, no funeral service will be held.
Family and friends are welcome to visit with the family to celebrate Stephen’s life at the family residence on McIrvine Road in Fort Frances on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2004 from 2-4 p.m.
In memoriam donations may be made to the Northern Canadian Cancer Society.
