KASHUBA: Larry Gene  November 7, 1946 - June 27, 2006

Larry Gene Kashuba passed away peacefully on June 27, 2006 at his home in Rumsey.Larry was born in Drumheller November 7, 1946 to Nick and Lena Kashuba. He was raised in Rumsey, where he grew up and continued farming until his passing. His family meant a lot to him. He was predeceased by his parents, Nick (1991) and Lena (1994) and his brother David (1979). He is survived by his brothers: Walter (Kathy), George (Maureen) and their children Kyle, Jordan and Kierstin; sister-in-law Anna Kashuba and her children Corrina, Sheldon and Shauna; twin brother Stephen (Carol) and their children Kevin and Kelly; Dennis and his children Nicole and Wesley; and sister Susan McIntyre. Larry is also survived by great-nephews and nieces and his Aunt Jeanette and Uncle Bill Kowalachuk.

Larry was a great brother, uncle and friend. He loved farming, watching hockey, going to auctions, driving a tractor, and driving around Alberta’s countryside. Larry will be a presence who will be missed by many, especially those who he humbly and willingly helped around the town, whether it was his brother with mechanics, or a neighbour in need of a hand. In the spirit of Larry’s love of auctions we lovingly “bid” him farewell.

A memorial celebration of Larry’s life was held in the Rumsey Community Hall on June 30, 2006, with Pastor Skip MacArthur presiding. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to S.T.A.R.S. or a charity of your choice. Courtney-Winter’s Funeral Home entrusted with arrangements. Interment at Rumsey Cemetery.

RUSSELL: Keith Wayne

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Keith Wayne Russell after a year long battle with cancer, a battle he fought with courage and dignity. Keith was born in Medicine Hat, but moved with his parents shortly thereafter to a farm in the Gaetz area, west of Red Deer. In 1967 he was married to Connie (nee Erickson) and they took up residence in Carstairs, Alberta. Keith obtained his welder first class certificate in 1975 and it was the oil patch that brought him to Drumheller in 1980. But he found his true calling in building the steel structure for the skeletal mounts that appear in the Royal Tyrrell Museum. He continued this career as part owner of Prehistoric Animal Structures for 13 years. Keith is survived by his wife and best friend, Connie; his sons Mitch and wife Dawn, Danny and wife Cheri; his daughter JoAnne and husband Greg Stone; his sister Fay and husband Ed Stenvig; and his mother Beatrice Russell; as well as many in laws and nieces and nephews and a host of friends. He will also be lovingly remembered by his 9 grandchildren: Alex, Matthew, Larissa, Bradley, Travis, Mitchell, Samantha, Meaghan and his “special” grandson Chandler, whom he had affectionately nicknamed “Chug”. Funeral services will take place at the Drumheller Church of the Nazarene on Thursday, July 6 at 2:30 PM. with reception to follow at the East Coulee Community Hall. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Chandler’s school, to be put towards a piece of equipment in his educational program. The address is: Broxton Park School, 505 Mcleod Ave., Spruce Grove, AB, T7X 2Y5. Personal Alternative Funeral Services in charge of arrangements.
