BRIAN HARDY It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Thomas Brian Hardy, at the age of 88, on Monday, November 9, 2015 at the Grace Hospital with family at his side. Brian was predeceased by his parents, Fred and Mina Hardy. Left to cherish his memory are his wife Shirley, his four children, Carol, Wendy (Ted), David (Sarah) and Val (Lorne); his brother Ralph (Shirley); grandchildren Rob (Nikki), James, Neil, Tim (Lorianne), Jill (Brian), Michael (Brittany), Luc and Shea; great-grandchildren Jackson, Jordan, Jeremy, Everett and Avery. Brian was born and raised in West Kildonan where he met Shirley to whom he was happily married to for 68 years. His employment began at an early age with various companies, including Western Flyer and Canadian Pacific Railway. In 1959 he joined the West Kildonan Fire Department where he proudly served till his retirement from the Winnipeg Fire Department in 1988. Through his various jobs he met many of his lifelong friends. Brian enjoyed being involved at West Kildonan Curling Club where he curled and served as president. He was handy and helpful, mischievous and had a saying for everything. He loved children. His greatest joys were family gatherings and the cottage at Caddy Lake. The family would like to extend their appreciation to the staff of TCU in the Grace Hospital for their kind and compassionate care of Brian. We would also like to thank Dr. Ip and the caring staff on the 3rd floor. The family would also like to thank the residents and staff at the River Ridge Retirement Residence for their support. Donations can be made in his memory to the Firefighters Burn Fund or the Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba. In keeping with Brian's wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held at a later date.

I know that Mr. Hardy was a family man who loved his family and enjoyed being around his grand children. I remember that when our youngest was staying at his daughter's house so that he could play for Manitoba's World Under Seventeen Hockey Team, Mr. Hardy who barely know him, made him a bed frame to put a mattress on top of for a comfortable bed. He was a generous man who was an excellent handyman. We will always remember him as a warm and caring man. - Posted by: Roberta Archibald (Extended family) on: Nov 15, 2015

When I was a child, my Uncle Brian taught me funny little rhymes on camping trips – rhymes that I passed on to my kid who, in turn, shared with theirs. West Kildonan wisdom we called it. A warm whimsical man. - Posted by: Dale Hardy (nephew) on: Nov 15, 2015
