Boris Lavrinoff - Dec 23, 1928 Mar
12, 2009 A cherished and devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend
passed away suddenly at the age of 80 years. Born in Belgium, he immigrated
to Canada in 1949 and settled in southern Saskatchewan. He loved Canada,
travelled it extensively with his family, and hardly a year went by without
a trip to Banff. He had a great zest for life, lived it well, and constantly
challenged himself and those around him. He was a ham radio operator and a
volunteer with Search and Rescue. He enjoyed carpentry, photography,
videography, computers, genealogy, and he was an avid reader enjoying books
both for knowledge and pleasure. He had a keen sense of humour and nothing
was more important to him than his family. He worked over 33 years with the
provincial public service, beginning with the Dept. of Highways and
finishing with the Medical Care Insurance Commission. Predeceased by his
parents Peter and Victoria and sister Eugenia, Boris is survived by his
beloved wife Peggy, his children Vitty, Penny and Ben, and his five
grandchildren Nathan, Sarah, Brock, Blake and Karlee. The funeral service
will be held at Tubman Funeral Home in Fort Qu'Appelle on Tuesday, March 17,
2009 at 2:00 p.m. with the Rev. Mary Gavin officiating. Interment will be at
the Lakeview Cemetery, Fort Qu'Appelle.
The day is done, and
the darkness falls from the wing of night, As a feather is wafted downward
from an eagle in its flight. I see the lights of the village gleam through
the rain and mist, And a feeling of sadness comes o'er me, that my soul
cannot resist. A feeling of sadness and longing, that is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only as the mist resembles rain.
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow The Day is
Done
