It is with heavy hearts that we send this message to let you know: That our Dad, Roy Swanson, passed away this past Saturday, March 4th at his home in Hardy View Lodge, Grand Forks. We feel fortunate to have had him live close to us in Grand Forks for the past 4 or so years as we were able to help him out and also get to know him more and more. He was busy writing his life story and we helped him with typing it out over the years, and especially when he was unable to use the computer himself, in his last few days. Dad had requested that we not post an obituary and we will have a small family gathering sometime in the future in his remembrance. We know that the Square Dance Community was a big part of Dad’s life and we appreciate that others who knew him would want to be aware of his passing.

We know that Dad really enjoyed the years he spent with his friends in the group and we enjoy looking at all the pins and ribbons and certificates he earned, and hearing his stories of the events he participated in.

It is with great sadness that the family of CRAIG DAUNCEY announces his peaceful passing on February 28th at the age of 77 years.

He instilled his love of art and nature with his family, friends and students.

Craig is survived by Margrit, his children Candice (Leandro) and Byron (Emily), his partner Jessica, his granddaughter Beatrice, and siblings Lynda, Garth and Doug.

He was born in Yorkton Saskatchewan, 1945 and resided in Surrey BC when he passed.
