Peddle
Murray Winston Peddle

May 20, 1943 – March 18, 2013
It is with great sadness and some relief that we announce the passing of Murray Winston Peddle on March 18, 2013.
Murray was the best friend and husband of Shirley and together they have three children Michelle, Kevin and Wanda. Murray was born on the family farm outside Cupar on May 20, 1943. He was the youngest child born to George and Ethel. He was a precious blessing to his parents and his brother John, who was 22 years old when his baby brother was born. As a child Murray was an excellent trumpet player and often played O’ Canada for the radio broadcasted hockey games in the area.
Murray and Shirley met in grade one at the Cupar School and they were together for 64 years at the time of his passing. They were married on July 28, 1962 and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last summer. They began their married life in Regina, where their daughter Michelle was born in April of 1963. Then in the next 16 months came a move to Radville and then Shaunavon where son Kevin was born in September of 1964. They followed this with a move to Melville, and finally in December of 1968 they moved to Craik where their daughter Wanda was born in January of 1972.
In making the move to Craik to become the General Manager of the Co-op, Murray, at age 26, became the youngest General Manager in Saskatchewan Federated Co-op history. During his time with the Co-op, he was a part of many building projects and expansions. The new grocery store and offices, the key lock at Girvin and storage additions to the lumberyard are just a few of these projects.
In 1980, Murray and Shirley built and started Peddles Place at the Craik Regional Park. It was here that Murray earned the nickname “the Candy man”. After eight years they gave the building to the park and it continues to provide candy, ice cream and food to the campers and swimmers.
Murray and Shirley opened the Prairie View Restaurant in 1988. People came in for Shirley’s good homemade cooking and in winter months a good game of crib with coffee. After the closing of the restaurant, Murray went to work at the Husky in Davidson. He also worked as caretaker of the Manor and as a bookkeeper for various community clients. He continued to work until illness forced his retirement in 2008.
Murray was a member of the Craik Curling Club for many years, the Golf Club, Town Council as well as a great announcer for many, many fastball games.
Murray was predeceased by his father George on April 23, 1978; his brother John on July 29, 1978; his mother Ethel on April 24, 1979 and five infant siblings.
Shirley will greatly miss her “Mur”, as will his children Michelle and husband Henry, and their children Sarah and husband Devan, Kane, Joseph and wife Sarah, and David; Kevin and wife Joy, and their children Kandis and husband Grant, Jordan, and Jesse and fiancée Jessica; Wanda and husband Shawn, and their children Shaelyn, Brittney and Sydney; his great-grandchildren; brother and sisters-in-law; nieces and nephews and friends.
It is a great comfort to us to look around and see the footprint of Dad’s life in the people and places we see every day.

Robert Francis Dulle
1922 – 2013
(Gopher)

With sadness we share the passing of our 90-year-old Dad, Grandpa and Great-Grandpa which occurred on Thursday, February 21, 2013 at the Davidson Health Centre in Davidson, Sask.
Dad was born on April 17, 1922 in Veurne, West Flanders, Belgium to Florent and Camilla Dulle. He was a tiny little guy weighing two pounds at birth; his mom would often recall how she would wrap him up, put him in his dads’ wooden shoe then place Dad in the oven to keep him warm. In 1926, at age four, Dad and his parents immigrated to Canada and made a home in the Davidson district, later relocating to a homestead in the Simpson area.
Dad married Mom (Estella Luypaert) on October 23, 1944. They made their first home in a converted grain bin on Robert’s parents’ homestead. In 1945 they purchased land, started a family and were blessed with 12 children. Dad and Mom retired from farm life and built a new home in Davidson in 1975; Dad loved to talk about how with the help of the boys, family and friends they built the house in one day. Until his retirement Dad worked in the construction trade with Con’s Construction, he was always happiest when he was working and had a very hard time sitting still. Dad’s family was the most important thing to him; he always had time for the grandchildren, he loved every opportunity to spend time together catching up on everyone’s busy lives, the annual Reunion was the highlight of his summers. In his younger days he went to every sporting event his kids were participating in or just volunteered his time to organize the events. Dad enjoyed playing cards especially with his family and the “hit” he would get from his wife when she thought he was cheating! Dad was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Davidson Seniors; he really enjoyed the winter games, bingo, shuffle board, almost anything that would involve visiting with his family and many friends.
Dad was predeceased by his wife of 66 years, Estella (2011); and his eldest daughter Florence (1995).
Dad leaves to cherish his memory daughter Eileen (Gordon), Davidson, Sask.; sons Ron (Audrey), Abbotsford B.C.; Jim (Diane), Medicine Hat, Alta.; Jerry (Valarie), Craik, Sask.; Dennis (Vivian), Medicine Hat, Alta.; Wayne (Mona), Saskatoon, Sask.; Larry (Debra), Regina, Sask.; David (Connie), Medicine Hat, Alta.; Randy (Lenore), Saskatoon, Sask.; Calvin (Tracey), Saskatoon, Sask.; Carmen (Kathy), Medicine Hat, Alta.; son-in-law Lawrence McRae (MaryLynn), Craik, Sask.; 29 grandchildren and 32 great-grandchildren.
A celebration of remembrance was held on March 7, 2013, in the Sacred Heart Catholic Parish, Father Eugene Warnke officiated. For friends so wishing memorial donations may be made to either the Alzheimer Society or Cancer Society.
Interment in the Davidson Cemetery will take place at a later date.
Arrangements were in care of Hanson’s Funeral Service, Davidson, Sask.
