Ronald Stuart Armishaw

Peacefully on July 25th, 2008, Ron Armishaw passed away with family by his side. He was 74 years old.

Dad was born and raised on the family farm; in the Hood District then later moved to Portage la Prairie where he raised his family. In his early years Dad worked for the Diversion and the Mushroom Farm, before he spent most of his years working for the CN Rail. Upon taking early retirement from CN Rail, Dad finished the remainder of his working years at Vicon and Richalue Textiles.

Dad was an avid reader, his favorite books were History books. He also loved being outdoors, you could always find him walking everywhere.

We have many memories of Dad. Our fondest memory of Dad was the day he excepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. Dad was saved on May 4th of this year in the hospital with his family by his side. We will also never forget all the Sunday lunches we shared with him.

Dad was predeceased by his parents Bertram and Vera Armishaw, his two brothers Jim and Wes,and his only son Keith.

Left behind to cherish his memories are his endeared companion Julie Armishaw, :his daughters Kim (Don) Chipman, Susanne (David) Moran, and Bonny Herrebout; his grandchildren Angie, Neil (Nikki), Carly, Kaliegh, Lyndsey, Jennifer, and Sara and great grandchildren Seth and Benjamin.
