PETER BARTEL

October 12, 1933 – January 7, 2004

It is with great sadness and shock we announce the passing of our dear dad, grandpa Pete, brother and uncle. Peter was born on October 12, 1933 in Arnaud, Manitoba and sadly, suddenly passed away in Regina General Hospital on January 7, 2004. Peter was the fourth of six children. He had served in the Canadian Forces for twenty-five years including the Korean Conflict. Pete returned to employment at C.F.B. Moose Jaw for another sixteen years as a civilian equipment operator. Peter and his wife, Millie travelled around the world to many places including Germany, France and Wales.  He enjoyed telling his grandchildren about his job chasing snowflakes as he kept the runway open for the planes.  After retirement from the service, he enjoyed many long hours or days as she traveled places on his motorcycle.  He was an active member of the Moose Jaw Royal Canadian Legion Branch #59 for twenty-nine years, Fraternal Order of Eagles, the Moose Jaw Cycle Association and took great pride each year in participating in the toy run with one of his grandchildren behind him and his son Mike and daughter beside him. Predeceased by his wife, Mildred (Millie) of 33 adventures years, his parents: mother Anna, father Peter, brother Dave, sister Ann, sister Rene and brother Abe.  Peter is survived by his dearest sister Mary Hooper, his only son Michael “Mike” (Marlene), his favorite ‘apple of his eye’- grandchildren: Annie and Amanda; two dear friends, Marie and Norma, as well as several nieces, nephews and many other people and friends Peter knew.  The funeral service will be held on Monday, January 12, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. at the Gladstone United Church, Gladstone, Manitoba. Royal Canadian Legion Funeral Rites will be conducted by the Gladstone Branch. Interment will follow in the family plot, Gladstone Cemetery. A Memorial Gathering for Peter will take place at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Club, 561 Home Street West, Moose Jaw, on Wednesday January 14, 2004 at 5:00 p.m. In living memory of Peter, a tree will be planted in Wakamow Valley by W.J.Jones & Son Funeral Home.
