Charles Russel Laqua, beloved husband of Lylla Laqua of Foremost, passed away in Bow Island on Sunday, December 14, 2008 at the age of 80 years.
Besides his loving wife of 59 years Lylla, he is survived by his children Jerry (Ginger) Laqua of Foremost, Don (Evelyn) Laqua of Stirling, Bonnie (Dave) Kennedy of Lethbridge, Dean (Robyn) Laqua of Foremost, Janice (Randy) Yancie of Foremost and Adrienne Laqua of Lethbridge; nineteen grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brothers Bill (Louise) Laqua of Lethbridge and Bob (Lillian) Laqua of Sylvan Lake; sister Joyce O’Connell of Parkhill, Ontario; sister-in-law Joan (Pete) Kwasnecha of Leduc as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his son Lyle; parents Bill & Mildred Laqua; granddaughter Cinnamon Laqua; son-in-law Dave Derksen and brothers-in-law Victor O’Connell & Neil Bailey.
While farming was his passion, Chuck had many other talents and interests. In all his undertakings, whether planting or harvesting, building or renovating a house for family or a neighbor, skipping a curling team, pitching a baseball, hunting or fishing, he did it to the utmost of his ability. During the nineties he became interested in Lylla’s hobby of stained glass and soon they were spending their winters constructing memorial windows for the Foremost United Church (eight in all). This
was a further labour of love for the church fellowship he served all his life. A man of few words, Chuck’s integrity, trustworthiness and love of family shone through. He was indeed the foundation of our family and we know how blessed we were.
The Funeral Service will be held at the Foremost United Church, 202 - 2 Avenue East, Foremost on Friday, December 19, 2008 at 2:00 P.M. Burial to follow at the Foremost Cemetery. After the service, family and friends are invited for lunch and fellowship at the Community Hall where no doubt the conversation will turn to, among other things, the Hoping community dances, the Lucky Strike Ball Club, Foremost curling in its hey-day, hunting with his family and buddies, or the church at Thistle Ridge and how no-one ever went home alone on a Sunday afternoon.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Chuck’s name may be made directly to Bow Island Health Centre (Palliative Care), Bag 3990, Bow Island, Alberta T0K 0G0.

Robert McKay Lewis of Taber, passed away after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease early Tuesday, August 12, 2008 at the age of 85 years.
He is survived by his wife of nearly 60 years, Margaret; their three children Laura (Bill) Tempany of Calgary, Tom (Marcella) Lewis of Keg River, Alberta and Tim (Debbie) Lewis of Taber; nine grandchildren, twelve great grandchildren and his sister Margaret (Ross) McKibben of Taber.
Bob was born in Knee Path (now Cranford), Alberta on May 17, 1923 and lived there, except for postings during the war, until moving into Taber from the farm five years ago. Bob was a great farmer, auto restorer, aircraft builder, enthusiast and pilot and worked on his hobbies at the farm up until a couple of years ago. During the war Bob was posted at various sites across the prairies and was an airframe mechanic responsible for repair and maintenance of aircraft and made many lifetime friends during his time in the Airforce. Bob was an active participant in the Royal Canadian Legion for many years and spent many a fun time on Saturday nights dancing up a storm with his beloved Marg. Bob was a very strong person in every regard and accomplished much during his 85 years. He built a large irrigation farm, raised three strong children and built many of the toys he enjoyed sharing with his family so much. From the gyrocopter, speed boats and aircraft to most of the furniture in their original home, nothing was daunting to Bob when something needed to be done. Bob was respected in the community for his helpful nature, fun loving approach to life and always had time to stop for coffee or libation's when friends dropped in. Bob will be missed by all who knew him and his family and extended family will miss the sage advice and dry wit we all grew to know and love.
Relatives and friends are invited to meet with the family at the Southland Funeral Chapel, 5006 - 48 Avenue, Taber on Thursday, August 14, 2008 between 7:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M.
