LaGRANDEUR
EDWARD JAMES (JIM) LaGRANDEUR passed away at Pincher Creek, Alberta after a short journey with lung cancer on May 8, 2008 at the age of 70 years.
Jim was born and raised in Pincher Creek, leaving at the age of 19 years to begin his career in the Alberta oil patch in the drilling industry, which became his profession and his passion. In 1970 the family moved overseas, living in Algeria, Spain, Holland and Scotland, with Jim drilling on land and off shore. The family returned to Pincher Creek in 1977, but Jim still commuted overseas to work in the Cameroons, Nigeria, Libya and Brunei. When the drilling industry picked up in Canada he worked closer to home. In the 1990’s Jim decided he needed a change and became owner operator of his own trucking business, hauling cattle, grain and fertilizer, which brought him into contact with many new people. By 2000 the lure of drilling became too great and he spent these last years back to his first love, the oil patch, the last four of which was with Talisman Energy in the Hinton field and these were the years he enjoyed the most.
Jim is survived by his wife June of nearly 52 years; sons: Terrance, Barry (Sherri) and Jerry (Shari) of Pincher Creek; his daughter Jaime of Cortes Island, B.C.; eight grandchildren and by his sisters Marilyn (Glen) Willett of Sparwood, B.C. and Nadine (Lyle) Pleasants of Morinville, Alberta. Jim was predeceased by his parents Walter and Myrtle and by his brother Graham.
Prayer Service will be held at St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Pincher Creek on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 at 8:00 p.m. Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated at St. Michael’s Church on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. with Father Eric Nelson officiating. Cremation to follow. If friends desire, memorial donations may be made in Jim’s memory to your local S.P.C.A., Animal Rescue or Humane Society.


MONCRIEFF
MR. FLOYD MONCRIEFF of Lethbridge, beloved husband of Mrs. Patricia Anne Moncrieff, passed away on Saturday, May 10, 2008 at the age of 75 years. Floyd was known for his quiet sense of humor, quick wit and gentleness. His loyalty and integrity never waivered and family and friends always knew they could rely on him.

Floyd is survived by the loves of his life Patricia of 54 years; son Floyd Robert (Barb) Moncrieff; daughters Judy (Lou) Lavorato, Robin (Randy) Feininger and Lenora (Kevin) Pasolli; daughter-in-law Diane Moncrieff; granddaughters Cayley Moncrieff, Taylor Feininger, Jamee Pasolli, Dallas Feininger, Allison Moncrieff, Logan Shephard and Dana Shephard; grandsons David Lavorato, Joey (Kadi) Lavorato and Noah Moncrieff; sisters Audrey (Bill) Ostrom and Joyce (Elwood) Peters; brother Gerald, Lloyd (Millie), Clayton (Babetta) Moncrieff and Earl (Sheila) Moncrieff; sister-in-law Marjorie Moncrieff; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and their families.
