Brother Monty Winnipeg Free Press September 12, 1997 says predeceased by sisters Lillian and Gertrude and a brother Russell.

Winnipeg free press online, unless there is another site with same name but have checked both dates and nothing corresponding with these two is coming up. I see vals & 2 others but thats it and when I tried to look at a post it was asking me to sign in, which it's not asked me to do before?!!
