We extend sympathy to the family of Art Wasdal who passed away on Oct. 15 in Stettler at the age of 94 years. Art would have been 95 next month. Art spent his entire life growing up and farming in the Endiang-Byemoor area. He and his wife Dot raised a family of six children and were actively involved in the community. Art, a highly-esteemed member of the community, lived a good, long and productive life and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Our thoughts are with Art’s wife Dot, his family Stan (Beatte), Jim (Maureen), Murray (Kim), Ray (Leslie) and Wendy (Lyle) and their families and his sisters Thelma Keast and May Knowles in their time of loss.
Sympathy is extended to Gladys Macleod on the passing of her mother on Oct. 12. Gladys, Doug and family are in our thoughts at this time.
