BRIAN HAY 1945 - 2011 It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Brian Hay at home, with his family by his side, on Saturday, November 26, 2011 at the age of 65 years. Brian will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his wife Adele, daughters Tina (Brian), Bryna (Kurtis), and Shannon (Keith), son Ken and his best friend Shaun Glassock, who he considered his adopted son. He also leaves his grandchildren Ryan, Andrew, Kelsee, Taylor, Teagan, Rylee, Brayden, and Brittany, sisters-in-law Gladys (Ken) and Mary (Steve), brother-in-law Rene (Ada), father-in-law Gus, brother Bob, stepmom Liz, as well as uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by his parents. Special thanks to his friend Brian for making his last month at home comfortable. Brian was born December 25, 1945 in Winnipeg. He was a diesel mechanic by trade, working at C.P. Rail, Automic and Reimers. In his younger years, he was an active roller skater, bowler, dart and horseshoe player. He loved spending time with his family and friends for 30 years at Nutimik Lake and the last five years at Chesley's, creating many wonderful memories. Brian was an avid fisherman, summer and ice fishing, and hunting in the fall. He made many beautiful wood crafts for family and friends. He loved spending time with his children and grandchildren, always ready to give hugs, listen to them, and tell them many wonderful stories. Brian loved socializing and making many friends along the way, always lending a helping hand when needed. He will always be remembered for his love of life, sense of humour, smiling eyes and boisterous laughter. He loved spending time with all his beloved pets. In compliance with Brian's wishes, there will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Canadian Diabetes Association. Goodbye my beloved husband and best friend of 42 years together.
