SHILLINGTON, H. L. "LYLE": 191...
SHILLINGTON, H. L. "Lyle": 1918-2015. Lyle passed away peacefully, with family by his side, on April 13th in Kelowna, BC, in his 97th year. The Saskatchewan Roughriders have lost their biggest fan. Lyle was a beloved husband, father and grandfather. Always smiling and welcoming, he was an admired and devoted friend and a respected and trusted colleague during his long career and many years of volunteer service. Lyle was predeceased in 2010 by his wife and best friend of 65 years, Pearl (Kilburn). He was also predeceased by his parents Russell and Ellen, brothers Howard, Wilbur, Norman and Don, and sister Patricia. He leaves behind a loving and proud family: sons and daughters-in-law Brian and Merry (Stampe) of Kelowna, and Tom and Nanci (Burns) of Ottawa, ON; grandchildren Reid, Scott, Heather and Duncan; brother Gordon, of Saskatoon; and many nieces and nephews. Born in Delisle, Saskatchewan, Lyle grew up and worked hard on the family farm with his brothers - a time that was the source of many happy memories and much laughter in later years. That Saskatchewan farm boy remained a big part of who he was for his entire life. He volunteered for WW II service in 1939. As a RCAF Sergeant, he was initially posted to London, England and later was in the North African and Italian campaigns. Returning to Canada at war's end, his final posting was to Vancouver, where he met and married Pearl, who was also from a small Saskatchewan town. Lyle spent his working career with Marshall Wells, a hardware and home furnishings company. New opportunities took the young family to Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Kelowna, Edmonton and Winnipeg. Each stop offered new challenges, but also new friendships and memories. In their retirement, Pearl and Lyle enjoyed many happy, active years in 108 Mile Ranch, BC, later moving back to Saskatoon for seven years and then to Kelowna in 2005. Lyle was an avid sportsman all his life, from playing hockey on Saskatchewan sloughs with future NHL Hall of Famers, to golfing, curling, fishing and hunting, especially at their beloved "home in the woods" at 108 Mile. He also believed in giving back to his community - he was one of a handful of young fathers who built the first hockey rinks and baseball diamonds in the then-new neighborhood of Montgomery Place in Saskatoon in the 1950s. Later, in retirement at 108 Mile and Saskatoon, he was very active in the Lion's Club, promoting programs in support of safe and healthy schools, an effort for which he received a Lifetime Recognition Award from the Lion's Club International President. In Kelowna, he enjoyed many years of dancing, gardening, bingo nights and conversation with good friends at the Sandalwood Retirement Community Residence. He and Pearl were outstanding dancers, hailing from the era of Big Band music. It seemed to him as if a Glenn Miller tune heard on the radio was wasted unless he was dancing to it. His family takes special joy from knowing that he was dancing, and smiling, at Sandalwood's most recent Valentine's Day dance. The family would like to thank the staff and Lyle's many friends at Sandalwood for helping to keep him so young at heart over the years, and the staff of Brandt's Creek Mews for their warm and attentive care of Lyle in his final days. A memorial service will be held in Saskatoon at a future date. Interment will be in the Shillington Family plot at the Woodlawn Cemetery in Saskatoon. Condolences and remembrances can be forwarded to the family by visiting www.firstmemorialfuneralkelowna.com. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Lyle's memory to a charity of choice.

MANN, HENRY YORKE: AUGUST 15, ...
MANN, Henry Yorke: August 15, 1930 - April 2, 2015 It is with a heavy heart we announce that our beloved friend, father, mentor and husband, Henry Yorke Mann has passed away. He was surrounded by family and friends in his home and after a brief illness, died in Oliver, BC at the age of 84. Henry will be lovingly remembered by his newlywed partner of 20 years, wife Denise, his stepsons Eric Hillmer-Mann (Nancy) and Kym Franklin, and stepdaughters Theresa Slater and Cindy Bahm. Further, he will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren Sarah and Colin Hillmer, and Payden Siemens, as well as, his brothers Richie (Audrey) and David (Susan) and nieces & nephews. Henry was born and raised in Rossland, BC. He received an athletic ski scholarship from Washington State University and raced competitively. Henry was training to qualify for the 1952 Olympic Winter Games; regrettably, an athletic injury removed him from the competition. Henry transferred to the University of Oregon in 1952, graduating with a Bachelor of Architecture in 1954. In the years from 1955 to 1970 Henry worked as an architect in Vancouver, first with Mercer & Mercer Architects, and then on his own in 1963. In 1970, Henry left architecture to take a new direction with his then wife Elizabeth and stepson Eric. They developed a homestead in the Upper Squamish River Valley. By 1972, Henry sought to move his cattle business to more land and a dryer climate. This resulted in the purchase of McCuddy Creek Ranch on McKinney Road near Oliver, BC. The purebred herd known as Mann Polled Charolais became nationally well known for the quality performance tested cattle. In 1995, Henry planned his return to architecture and in 1997 sold the herd and the ranch property with the exception of his residence. Henry's home the Manndala was built on the ranch in 1993, and is quintessential to Henry's design philosophy; a melding of the spiritual and the physical functions in structural integrity, and sustainability, using natural materials, and respecting the essence of the client and the site. Henry has an extensive national exhibition catalogue, and endless image and prestigious article publications. Henry continued his hand drawn practice of sacred architecture through to the last month of his 84th year. At his side, his wife Denise was an acting confidante, cook and dance partner. It will always be a pleasure to recall this generous spirit in a cowboy hat, with a Porsche and a penchant for blues music. Join us to Celebrate the Life of Henry Yorke Mann, Sunday, April 26, 11:00am - 3:00pm at their home, 222 Old Camp McKinney Road Oliver, BC. We invite and encourage anyone to share a few short words, a prayer or a song. Hor d'oeuvers, wine or other refreshment would be appreciated. A special thank you to Dr. Myslek and the Interior Health Palliative Care Nursing team for their loving support. Also, thank you to Nunes-Pottinger Funeral Service for their service and guidance.
