DAVID L. PARRJune 3, 1942 – March 9, 2016
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of David Parr on Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at Victoria Hospital, at the age of 73 years. Dave will be missed by his wife of 49 years, Gayle; daughters, Kim and Janet; son-in-law Kevin Harbottle and granddaughters, Emma and Zoe. Dave and Gayle met while both working at Great West Life. Looking for a new career, he moved to Winnipeg Transit in 1974 where he worked as a Bus Operator, Instructor and Inspector for over 32 years. One of Dave’s greatest joys was encouraging and seeing his daughters grow into independent, self-assured women. This happiness continued with the knowledge that his granddaughters are following the same path. In compliance with Dave’s wishes, no formal Funeral Service will be held, but please take a moment to remember him. Thank you to all the staff at the Victoria Hospital for their kindness and compassion during Dave’s recent visits. Thank you also to the all the medical personnel who have helped him through his many health challenges over the last few years. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 6 Donald Street, Winnipeg, MB, R3L 0K6, the Victoria Hospital, 2340 Pembina Highway, Winnipeg, MB, R3T 2E8 or to a charity of your choice.
