BERTE
“The Road has come to an end”
MR. BRUCE JOHN BERTE, beloved husband of Mrs. Reta Berte, of Coalhurst, AB. passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday, July 31st, 2013 at the age of 73 years.
 Bruce was the loving father of son Randy Berte (Sue) of Lethbridge, daughters Taralyn Berte (Dave) of Lethbridge and Loralie (Tate) Baker of Magrath, Alberta. He is survived by his loving grandchildren Cole Berte and Taelan Baker of Magrath, also his sisters Delores and Joyce Berte, numerous nieces and nephews as well as his faithful companion Justice. Bruce was predeceased by his sister Beverly and parents Arthur and Margaret Berte.
 Born and raised in the Lethbridge area, Bruce was an avid fan of big motors, fast cars and big rigs. This love took him down the road across the USA and Canada in his black Kenworth “BJ Berte Trucking”. He was always seen with his dog Ty and in later years Justice.  Bruce dearly loved his family and was lovingly called “Bumpler” by his grandchildren.
 As a young man Bruce’s love for big motors and fast cars found him doing burnouts at the Pearce airport, and drag racing at Sheppard Raceway in Calgary and Spokane. In later years his dream was to once more race with his 64 Chevy Malibu car – a dream that was never fulfilled.
 Cremation to take place at Cornerstone Funeral Home, ashes to be spread at a later date.
 Flowers gratefully declined. In memory of Bruce donations may be made to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada – 3100, 246 Stewart Green SW, Calgary, Alberta, T3H 3C8 or the Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta – 404 8 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, T1J 0H8.
 A Memorial Service will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME – 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB, on Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at 11:00 A.M. with Glenda Wert Officiating.

HIRSCHE
RONALD ARTHUR HIRSCHE of Wrentham, Alberta passed away suddenly on the farm August 1, 2013 at the age of 82 years. He was preceeded in death by his beloved sweetheart, Sylvia, who passed away on November 27th 2008, just prior to their 55th wedding anniversary. He is survived by his 7 children, Dana (Laura), Grant (Annette), Glen (Terry), Holly (Walter) Tews, Kevin (Marianne), Clark (Julie), Heidi (Dale) Nickel, 21 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren. He leaves 2 sisters, Rachel Moore and Joyce Hirsche, 2 sister-in-laws, Jean Hirsche and Josie Burrows, numerous nieces, nephews,
other relatives and dear friends. He was predeceased by his sisters Edna Myers, Victoria Zaugg, 2 brothers, Roy and Elden, grandson Craig Hirsche, several sister and brothers-in-law and others dear to him.
Dad was born Oct.10, 1930 in Lethbridge, Alberta, the son of John Albert Hirsche and Anna Schuler Hirsche. He was the youngest of 7 children all raised on the homestead at Wrentham. Dad received his schooling in the Wrentham area, but his love of farming became his lifetime pursuit. He married his sweetheart, Sylvia Louise Burrows, on December 10th, 1953 and they made their life together on the farm. His love of the land far exceeded its monetary value. He lived a quiet simple life. He had impeccable honesty, taught by example and was a man of his word. He was a hardworking man and was dedicated to his work, right to the end of his life. He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Dad established Twin Hills Angus and was a member of the Canadian Angus Association. He was looking forward to receiving his 50 year pin in the spring of 2014. Although farming and his herd of Angus cattle were his pride and joy, his “pearl of great price” as he referred to them was his family.
Friends may meet the family at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Stirling, AB on Tuesday, August 6th, 2013 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. OR at the Church from 1:00 to 1:45 p.m. prior to the Service.
The Funeral Service will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Stirling at 317-2nd St. on Wednesday, August 7th at 2:00 p.m., with Bishop Kent Evanson officiating. Interment in the Stirling Cemetery.
