Family
of Kenneth Victor Bechtold are sad to announce the passing
of a fantastic brother, uncle, and friend who lost his battle to
cancer on April 29, 2006. Ken
was born in Moose Jaw
September 23, 1942. He
started work at Army & Navy department store when he was
sixteen years old and worked there for forty-two years until
closing in 1999. He
talked fondly of all his co-workers and the Army & Navy
family. Ken was one of
the first members of the Moose Jaw Junior Boy’s Choir under the
tutelage of Miss McCallum. His
favorite past times were gardening, camping, bowling and being
with his beloved dogs, especially Chelsea
in later years. Ken
was predeceased by his father John - born in Millbank, South
Dakota, mother Otiilie - born in Radon, Poland, infant sister
Karoline, sister Audrey and her husband Sid Gilhen of Winnipeg,
brother-in-law Paul King of Winnipeg and niece Carolin Skowron of
Winnipeg. Ken is
survived by Walter (Gert) of Nanaimo,
BC, Ozzie (Anne) of
Calgary, Irma King of
Winnipeg, Ruth (Gord Wills) of
Regina, Roger (Bonnie) of
Regina, Mike (Renee) of
Moose Jaw. He will be sadly
missed by twenty-two nieces and nephews, as well as numerous
aunts, uncles, cousins, great-nieces and great-nephews. The family would like
to thank all of the Doctors, Nurses and their staff for their care
and consultations. A
Celebration of Ken’s life will be held on Friday, May 5, 2006 at
