CARRICK: William Herbert "Herb" Carrick passed away at the Brandon Regional Health Centre on Monday, September 15, 2008. Herb was born on May 14, 1916 in Brandon, Manitoba. He received his education at Central Elementary School, Earl Haig Junior High School and Brandon Collegiate Institute. During the years 1942-44, he was at the Canada Car and Foundry at Fort William helping to assemble the Curtis Helldivers aircraft to aid the war effort. He was especially proud of this time in his life and entertained family and friends with stories of his time spent there. Upon his return to Brandon, Herb was employed at Lionel Electric and as a result of this, decided on a career as an electrician. He completed his Journeyman Electrician Licence in 1960 and subsequently started his own business, Carrick Electric Ltd., which he operated until 1984 when he retired. Herb was an avid sportsman and enjoyed playing, coaching and viewing many sports. In his younger years, he was an active participant in both baseball and hockey. He also coached both of these sports and when his playing days were over, continued to coach. It was while coaching that he met his loving wife of 58 years, Jean. Herb was instrumental in establishing Central Community Centre to the delight of the neighbourhood children and it still remains so today. He also enjoyed golf and curling and was a long time member of the Brandon Curling Club. He had many other interests which included dancing, and in fact, just days prior to his passing enjoyed two dances with his Jean. Herb was proud of his Irish descent and was able to return to Ireland for a holiday and meet with relatives there. Herb's view on life was to treat everyone with respect and honesty and these ideals he carried on in his business dealings and his personal life. He truly was a man of his word. Herb leaves to mourn his passing his wife Jean, son William (Jan), grandchildren Chelsea and Sean, son-in-law Bryan (Wendy) Frederickson, granddaughter Kerri (Jeff) Bridges, great grandson Ethan Bridges, grandson Michael Frederickson, brother Cecil (Hilda) Carrick, brothers-in-law Elmer (Kay) Gullett and Marvin (Deb) Gullett as well as nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his daughter Linda (Bryan) Frederickson. The Funeral Service took place on Friday, September 19, 2008 at the Brockie Donovan Chapel with Rev. Shannon McCarthy officiating. Interment followed at the Brandon Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Herb may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 415-1st Street, Brandon, MB, R7A 2W8, the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, Unit 3, 824-18th Street, Brandon, MB, R7A 5B7, or to a charity of choice.

CHAPMAN: Wilbert Chapman, beloved husband of Ann of Brandon Hills, passed away peacefully on August 24, 2008. He was born on May 16, 1926, at Strasbourg, Saskatchewan and resided with his family at Roblin until his mother’s death. Then, at age 2 ½, he came to live with his Uncle Norm and Aunt Olive Chapman in the Brandon Hills Community. At age 11, he re-joined his dad on the Rob Roddick farm in the Brandon Hills. Wilbert received his early education at East Brandon and Brandon Hills Schools; his high school in Wawanesa and Brandon. At age 18, he joined the Paratroops, but the war ended before his training was completed. Wilbert farmed all his life. In 1950, he married Ann Martens of Fannystelle, and they settled on the historic Maher Stopping House location. This was Wilbert’s home until his death. For 10 years Wilbert drove a school bus for Division 40. The younger generation remember him either as their bus-driver or "the pitcher." He loved to play ball! At one time, he was a member of the Brandon Consumer’s Co-op Board. He was also a charter member, and first president, of the Westoba Credit Union. As a long-time member of the United Church, he served diligently on many committees both at Trinity in Brandon and the Brandon Hills – Wawanesa Charge. His greatest contribution over the years was his enthusiastic leadership as a Sunday school teacher to the Senior classes. For Wilbert, the highlight of the summer was a weekend at Clear Lake where, for over 20 years, he attended the Interdenominational Men’s Camp. Wilbert is survived by his wife, Ann, and their three children and six grandchildren: Anita (Axel), Jason, Oksana and Galya, all of Vancouver; Neil (Corianne) of Brandon Hills, Sarah (Aaron Peech) of Brandon, Eric of Estevan, SK; and Dan (Barb), Lauren, all of Vancouver.

He was predeceased by his mother, Bertha Chapin Chapman and father Bill Chapman; his sister Eileen and husband Roly Hamel of Alexander and Brandon, his brother and wife Doug and Verlaine of St. Louis, Missouri; sisters-in-law, Lydia Martens of Winnipeg and Mary and husband Abe Bergen of Starbuck. He was also predeceased by his stepmother, Ethel Ridge and her four children and by numerous cousins; including a special "kid-brother" cousin Keith Chapman of Brandon Hills.

CLARK: We regret to announce the passing of Lee Clark on August 10th 2008 at the age of 71. He was in recent years a resident of Lake Metigoshe, Ottawa, and previously of Brandon. Lee (or Leland as he was known until the beginning of his university days) was born in Davidson, Saskatchewan on December 16, 1936 and he continued to reside in that province until he accepted a combined teaching/Dean of Men's Residence position at Brandon College in 1964. He began his early education at Simpson, SK where he proudly recalled that he rode a horse four or so miles to school each day during the non-winter months. Later the family relocated to a farm near Doonside (a hamlet that no longer exists) and he and his younger brothers attended a local one room country school called Mountney during which time Lee was always first in his class, which was not all difficult in that he was the only one in his class! Later he transferred to Wawota High and, following graduation, he attended the University of Saskatchewan, obtaining his B.Ed in 1959 and his B.A. (Honours) in 1961. Throughout most of those years, hockey was a major part of his life -first in Wawota and later at the U of S and he forever bore some of the evidence of being a goalie before the invention of the mask! During his third year of university, Lee met and later married (in 1959) Barbara Woods, a fellow student in the Faculty of Education. Barb unselfishly gave up her own studies to support the newly married couple as Lee completed his second degree at the U of S and, subsequently, a Master of Arts at the University of Oregon. After those eight continuous years of study, Barb and Lee came back to Regina, where they both taught for one year (Lee at Sheldon Williams Collegiate) prior to the decision to join Lee's long term mentor, Dr. Charles Lightbody, at Brandon College. Cheryl, Lee and Barb's first daughter, may well be one of the few Canadian women to have been raised in a Men's Residence for her first year and a half, while Janine, the younger daughter, was born during Lee's doctoral studies at the University of Alberta. Returning to graduate studies as an adult with family responsibilities was not without its challenges but Lee proudly received his Ph.D. in Canadian history just weeks before his 40th birthday. Lee regarded himself, first and foremost, as a teacher although he was very proud of the fact that a revised form of his doctoral dissertation entitled Brandon: Its Politics and Politicians was published by the Brandon Sun as part of that newspaper's centennial celebration. During those teaching years, Lee was an extremely dedicated volunteer in the Brandon community. He was an active member of the United Church, the John Howard Society , in organizing a volunteer visitation program to the old correctional institute and in a campaign to secure a much needed detox centre for Brandon. In addition, he was a very involved member of the Progressive Conservative Party, an activity which culminated in his election as Member of Parliament for Brandon-Souris in the 1983 by-election. To serve in the government of Canada, whose history he had long studied and taught, was the realization of long-held dream and Lee and Barb worked long and hard together to fulfill the duties of being a Member of Parliament. Although his tasks were many, he was particularly pleased to be invited by the Prime Minister to serve as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and subsequently to the Minister of the Environment. In addition, he was especially proud of his long time association with Joe Clark's and later Jean Charest's leadership campaigns. Having been re-elected in the 1984 and 1988 General Elections, Lee decided to retire from politics and he did not seek re-election in the 1993 General Election. Subsequently, he was appointed Executive Assistant to the President of Brandon University, a position he held until his retirement from that institution in 1998. Soon after, Lee and Barb decided to make their cottage at Lake Metigoshe their permanent home where Lee spent many happy summers cutting his numerous riding/hiking trails on which he and others loved to ride his several horses. Winters were spent in Ottawa so that Barb and Lee could see more of their extremely precious grandchildren. Lee regarded having the opportunity to share in Jacob's and Noah's numerous activities as a privilege and he looked forward to the trip each winter to Charlottetown so that Papa and Nana could spend quality time with Jade, their one and only granddaughter. Lee is survived by his mother Enid Clark (Alberta), wife Barb, daughters Cheryl Clark (Chris Caldwell) PEI, and Janine (Gerry Guillot) Ottawa; and by his three precious grandchildren Jacob, Noah and Jade. Lee also leaves behind brothers Bob (Donna)(AB) and Doug (ON) as well as a cousin Gail (Fred) Coward (AB). Donations in memory of Lee may be made to your choice of charity. The funeral will take place Thursday, August 14, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. at Central United Church, 327 – 8th Street in Brandon to be followed by a tea reception.
