QUENTIN LOUIS SYLVESTER

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

• I have very fond memories of Quentin, coming into Syl's, always smiling and telling the staff one of many favorite jokes. He always told me about his collection of salt and pepper shakers that he had accumulated over the years. I will miss him dearly. My sincere sympathies go out to Darryl and Nola Sylvester and their families, as well as the entire family. Quentin will be sadly missed, but always in our hearts. I very much enjoyed my times I have spent knowing him and will forever keep him in my heart. May Peace, Love, and Faith be with you at this time. - Posted by: Brenda Friesen () on: Apr 24, 2015

• Q was a fantastic man. I know he had just retired from Syl's but he came in quite often with his jokes and sense of humor. Syl's was my first job and I am proud to say I knew "the man". - Posted by: Donna Porter () on: Apr 23, 2015

• My dad (Haref) and Quentin were air force buddies. When they both married and settled in a close proximity (Darlingford - Carman) they maintained that friendship visiting each other. Whenever our family went to Winnipeg it meant a stop in Carman for an ice cream cone for us kids and a visit for the adults. Warm memories of these visits and all the stops we made as adults to show off our children to Quentin will forever be a comfort. To Darrel and Kim and your families, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. - Posted by: Janet Taylor (nee Rasmussen) (Friend of the family) on: Apr 22, 2015

• Lucy and I were very shocked to learn of Quentins passing, and while he surely enjoyed a long and wonderful life he will be truly missed. He always had a joke and story when ever we would meet up with him and more often than not we would enjoy a little of the special spices known to many in the back of Syl's Drive Inn. Darryl and Nola and Family you have been truly blessed to have had Quentin in your lives so long and while he will forever be missed you will have solace knowing that he will always be close by except now you just cannot see him or hear that infectious laugh and see his smiling face. Thinking of you in this time of sadness , your friends. Brian, Lucy, Tamara, and Tyler. May God bless you all.. - Posted by: Brian and Lucy Cobb (Friends of the family) on: Apr 21, 2015

• As a friend of my parents and as Boss at Syl's I have many memories of Quentin's wonderful attitude to life. At Syl's he had jokes he would tell me and the ones he'd tell my Dad when I was dropped off for work! Or the ones he'd share with his cronies in the back of the drive in out of ear shot of the young folk in the front. I was so glad to have had a short visit with Quentin last summer. When I went in to surprise him he came out of the kitchen and I gave him a hug. Being Quentin he was happy to hug and and then stood back, looked at me and said, "I didn't know I could have this delivered". At 95 he could still make me blush and laugh. He will be missed. - Posted by: Marg Atkins (friend) on: Apr 20, 2015

• I always looked forward to hearing what Quentin's next, newest joke would be. When I lived in Carman he could see my place and he was able to keep tabs on me and how often I managed to get the lawn mowed (or not!). If we were both out I would head over to get the next joke installment. He was always a cheerful fellow and will be missed by me and many others. Although I am unable to attend the funeral you, the family, will be in my thoughts and prayers. Let the Quentin stories flow! - Posted by: Cathy Savage (Friend & Neighbour) on: Apr 20, 2015
