BOESSENKOOL
GREGORY “GREG” ALLEN BOESSENKOOL, of Lethbridge, passed away peacefully at home, on Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at the age of 56 years.
Greg will be lovingly missed by his son Levi Hopkinson, father Gerry Boessenkool, sisters Cindy Boessenkool and Lorraine (Ken) Tyerman and nephew Devon Tyerman, all of Lethbridge. He will also be remembered by many aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was predeceased by his mother May Boessenkool and numerous aunts, uncles and all four of his grandparents.
Greg was the eldest child of Gerry and May Boessenkool. He was a lover of ALL sports with hockey and the Chicago Blackhawks as his favourite team. He spent endless hours watching any and all sports from the comfort of his room. Greg also played many sports including: hockey, baseball, football and golf. He became a coach and umpire with the Softball Association. If you asked him for any hockey stat, he could rattle it off in a second. His dream was to become a sports commentator and he would have made a GREAT one. Unfortunately, a knee injury would curtail his love of participating in any of the sports he so enjoyed.
For many years in the past, Greg was employed as a cook and manager in many restaurants here in Lethbridge and surrounding areas. He took great pride in all of his accomplishments. He will be sadly missed by family and friends.
Relatives and friends are invited to a Visitation at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB, on Wednesday, July 19, 2017 from 1:00 to 2:00 P.M.

Marvin Robert Wobick passed away on Wednesday, July 12, 2017 at South Health Campus in Calgary at age 91. He was born in Warner, South Dakota to Robert and Mary (Grohnke) Wobick. They moved to Barons in 1927 to farm in the district. Marv was a very hard worker and a man of many talents. He drove semi in the states, worked at a tire factory, built his own house, climbed telephone poles in stormy weather; but he was always committed to farming from well before sunrise to well after sundown. Marvin met his perfect mate in 1949, Alice Huff from Shaughnessy. Alice and Marvin were married March 29, 1950 and lived in a cute little bunk house on his parents land. They were blessed with three children; Brenda Lynn, Patricia Dawn and a son Kevin Robert. In 1963, Marv finished building his house and they moved in. Marv also loved to curl and did so into his eighties and golfed up until last year.
Marvin is survived by his son Kevin (Donna); grandsons Jason (Michelle), Jordan Wobick, Robert McPherson and Lindsey McPherson; great-grandchildren Kenna (Wobick) Demaere, Klara and Brady Wobick, Bryan and Amara McPherson; his sister Beverly Perry; and numerous nieces and nephews. Marvin was predeceased by the love of his life, wife Alice; daughters Brenda and Patty; grandson Jared Wobick; his mother and father; and older sister Arlowene Steedman.
