November 22, 1933 - December 29, 2019

ALLAN JOHN ROSS

 

Our Dad left peacefully on December 29, 2019 with us by his side. He was born on November 22, 1933 and grew up a proud North Ender. He met our Mom on the Grand Beach Special and they were married shortly after in 1954. Dad spent his working career at the Manitoba Telephone System and was a proud member of the Khartum Temple Shrine Drum Corps.

Allan and Marilyn raised their children, Heather and Dean, in Transcona. Great summers were always spent at Caddy Lake where Dad taught us to waterski. Years later, Mom and Dad started spending their summers at Beauty Bay. This is a special place where his grandchildren Leanne (Chris), Ross, Paul (Tiana), Megan and Colin have many happy memories. Dad loved going to his grandchildren’s activities. In recent years, Dad was blessed to have five great-grandchildren, Caiden, Logan, Keaton, Isla and Ellis. They will miss their Papa Al’s Kit Kat treats.

Dad was always positive and kind-hearted.  He will be loved and missed by Heather and Wilf, Dean and Jane, our families and his many friends.

A private family service will be held in the summer.

Donations, if desired, may be made to CancerCare Manitoba.
