  • Notes 
    • Lionel George Shorter It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. Lionel passed away peacefully at the Davidson Health Centre on Saturday, May 6, 2006 at the age of 81. Left to mourn his passing are his daughter, Lana, her husband, Terry and granddaughters, Rachel and Randi Johnsson; his son, Bob, his wife, Cindy, granddaughter, Lynnelle and grandson, Kyle Shorter; his brother, Claire (Marie) Shorter and family; brother-in-law, Arnold (Donna) Bair and family; nephew, Bill and Alice Kriston and family; also mourned by numerous nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends. Lionel was born on March 20, 1925 on the farm at Macrorie, SK to George and Iva Shorter. Shortly after that the family moved to Meskanaw, SK. Lionel made his home at Meskanaw until the summer of 2004 when he moved to Davidson to live with his daughter and family due to health problems. Lionel married Lorraine Hourie on April 29, 1953. Lionel first worked as a ranch hand before he began his long career as a cat and grader operator working in the surrounding RM's. He also worked for Gary Taylor building roads and doing the work he loved and was good at. He enjoyed gardening, hunting, fishing and trapping, reading and visiting with relatives and friends. Many stories were told and retold, and words of advice were shared over several cups of strong coffee at Dad's place. Till memory fades and life departs, you'll live forever in our hearts. The celebration of his life will be held Saturday, May 13, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. at the Meskanaw Community Hall with Rev. Father Chris Harper officiating. Interment will take place at the Meskanaw Cemetery next to Mom. Memorial donations may be made to the Meskanaw Community Cemetery Fund or the Canadian Cancer Society. Funeral arrangements are in the care of Brian Hanson, HANSON'S FUNERAL HOME.
