It is with sadness the family announces the passing of William Ticholas on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at the Ste. Anne Hospital. Dad was born in Cowan, MB on June 10, 1914. Gee Gee is lovingly remembered by his daughter Cecilia (Ken) Malo, granddaughters Shelley Malo and Kimberley (Douglas) Strong, great grandchildren Anastasia and Michael as well as his sister Frances. Dad was predeceased by his wife Sophie, daughter Rosemarie, sisters Clara, Mary and brothers Peter and Samuel. Over his lifetime he worked for CPR, the Pipeline and owned and operated many grocery stores, notably in Dufresne. Dad had a great love for the outdoors, picking blueberries and mushrooms and demonstrated his appreciation of geology by picking up rocks. The family would like to extend our gratitude to Dr. A. A. Bissonnette and the staff of the Ste. Anne Hospital. Cremation has taken place and a private family interment will be held at a later date. If friends so desire donations may be made to the Ste. Anne Hospital, 52 St. Gerard St.; Ste. Anne, MB R5H 1C4
