1955 – 2017

Harry Vinson Fuller of Coalhurst, beloved husband of 36 years to Mary Ann Fuller, passed away suddenly at his home on Tuesday, May 30, 2017 at the age of 62. Harry was born on February 17, 1955 in Magrath, Alberta. However, he was primarily raised and educated in Bow Island, Alberta. While managing a tire shop there, he met Mary Ann Skanderup, a local school teacher, whom he later married on April 18, 1981. It was soon after, that he pursued a career in autobody mechanics. He briefly worked at A & H Autobody in Bow Island and more extensively in Lethbridge at Bullock’s Autobody and at Dunlop Collision. Due to an accident, he retired from work in 2005. Even then, Harry was not one for sitting still or feeling sorry for himself. He worked diligently and to the best of his ability, on many self-initiated projects at home. He never gave up or thought he couldn’t do it. He just thought it would take longer. Any mistakes could be fixed so it was just a matter of persevering. He loved his family and many friends, spending as much time as possible with them. He supported his sons’ and grandsons’ school and athletic activities and was so proud of their achievements. He also taught them many skills and life lessons. Harry is survived by his beloved wife, Mary Ann Fuller of Coalhurst; his sons, Caleb (Nicole) of Coalhurst AB, David Fuller of Lethbridge AB, and Jared Fuller (Justine Tratechaud) of Calgary, AB; his grandsons, Preston Doubinin, Reagan Fuller; his brothers, Roy Fuller and Danny Fuller. Harry was predeceased by his parents, Charles and Violet Fuller; and his brother, Ralph Fuller. Harry was an honest and hard working man, cherishing his Christian faith which sustained him on many days. He was an inspiration to all who knew him and will be dearly missed.

LEE

GEORGE WILLIAM RICHARDS LEE passed away peacefully in Lethbridge Regional Hospital on May 30, 2017. He is predeceased by his mother Mary Ivy Lee and his father Lewis William Lee, his brothers Lewis, Fredrick (Tedd) and David Lee. He is also predeceased by his second wife Claire and eldest daughter Terra Heggie. He is survived by his wife Anne Switzer-Lee and her children Candy, Debra, Melissa, Johnny and Tony. His sisters Lois Lee Eamon and Bette Schmidt. By his first wife of 45 years Flora Lee and their children Shannon, Charlene, Lewis, Jane, Vanessa, Tina and unofficially adopted son Adam.

George had a full life. Born in Kitchener, Ontario on November 24, 1928, he made his way West the summer of 1951. He was able to work on various farms and odd jobs one of which he would recalls fondly and often as the Buckhorn Ranch. He was known throughout the south (hutterite colonies and rural farmers) as the Calgary Power Man who climbed up the power polls no matter the weather or conditions, first with Calgary Power and then with Transalta Utilities. He was an avid hiker wandering throughout the Rocky Mountains and twice the West Coast Trail (once with his daughter Vanessa and once with his brother Lewis) with his video camera, a small backpack and an amazing sense of direction that worked most of the time. He could play a decent boogie-woogie even though his was missing 4 fingers on his left hand. He loved a good card game and was known to strike up Bridge or Shanghai with anyone who was up for the challenge. He owned motorcycles in his life-time and enjoyed taking any willing passenger on an adventure throughout Canada and the States. He loved to wander and his restless spirit took him South to California. He met his wife Anne and his beloved puppy Pogo there and they enjoyed several years in the Visalia area. His health and other circumstances redirected him north again in 2015 where he resided until his passing. He was a father, grandfather, supportive husband and provider. He was stubborn most times and a man who lived life on his terms always. He was an avid movie fan and loved to solve the most complicated crossword puzzles. He was a character, wonderful sense of humor and we will miss him. Many thanks to the staff and his friends at the View, his home care workers, especially Emanuelle and any others who made my dads life just a little bit better over the years. There is a small family get together this weekend to honor his memory with his ashes scattered in his favorite places throughout the coming year in lieu of a funeral.

PETTINGER

If there is one thing I know about Jack Pettinger… it is this.

1) He loved his family and worked relentlessly to provide for them.

2) He set his eyes on Barb when they were teenagers and has worshipped her since.

3) Jack was himself no matter who he was around or where he was.

4) He tried every putter ever invented. Twice.

5) Jack was young at heart. Always up for an adventure. The older he got, the happier he got.

6) I have personally never met anyone like him. A true character.

7) He honoured his parents always. He spoke highly of his father who was clearly his hero.

8) Regardless of race, age, gender, or religious affiliation, he treated everyone the same. He simply saw people.

9) Wherever Jack is now, he has already made friends. And it is louder. It’s definitely louder!

10) Barb, Marsha (Don and Jeannie), Brenda (Rouge, Syd and JR) and Erin (Jay) will miss him.

He is gone but will never be forgotten.

There was a private Memorial on Sunday, May 28th, for the immediate family.
