Cliff was a graduate of the famous hockey circuit in Regina called the Parks League, progressing to the junior ranks with the Regina Abbots in 1942-44. In 1944 Cliff joined so many other Canadian lads in wearing the blue serge of the Navy. During training in Eastern Canada, Cliff played some hockey for Cornwallis in a Service league in Halifax, also playing for his ship's team, HMCS Ettrick, while serving in the North Atlantic. Following his discharge, Dobbie continued his hockey career with the Regina Commandos in the Western Canada Junior League before attending the training camp of the New York Rangers in 1946. After a short spell at camp, Dobbie was sent to the Regina Caps of the Western Canada Hockey League as spare goal tender for Emile Francis. Dobbie returned East in 1948 to play football for Oshawa in an Eastern league. While he was there, Cliff received a wire to report to the Valleyfield Braves in the Quebec Sr. league, coached by Toe Blake. During this time, Cliff met and married Evelyn Poland in 1949. Cliff gave up the hockey rinks to settle down and raise a family, and embarked on a thirty seven year career with Air Canada, retiring as Airport Manager for Air Canada in Regina at the age of 63. Cliff loved his career at Air Canada, the people he worked with, and the opportunities to travel. The Clearwater, Florida area held a special appeal for Cliff. The warm weather, ocean, and the golf amenities equated to a "little slice of heaven" as he was able to enjoy his lifelong passion of golf. It was in Florida that he met Pat Matteson who has been his companion for the last five years. Cliff had great affection for Pat and her daughters, Barb, Deb, and granddaughter Chantal. His interests also included cheering for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Toronto Blue Jays and any Canadian-based hockey team. He enjoyed socializing with family and friends, whatever the occasion.

KYLE - Walter L. "Gus". Former St. Louis Blues broadcaster Walter Kyle of Affton, whose colorful style turned thousands of St. Louisans on to hockey, died Sunday. Mr. Kyle, 75, had heart disease for a dozen years. He spent the last several weeks in a South County nursing home. Mr. Kyle brought an unabashed enthusiasm to the microphone, along with an often fractured phraseology that delighted his many fans. His signature line during hot action was "It's a real barn burner!" Mr. Kyle enlivened Blues broadcasts for 16 years until forced out by KMOX radio in 1983. For most of that span, he and the late Dan Kelly formed one of hockey's most memorable broadcast teams. He was a rugged defenseman in the National Hockey League from 1949-52 with the New York Rangers and Boston Bruins. An imposing 6 feet 2 and 210 pounds, he scored six goals in 203 games while pounding out 362 penalty minutes. After the NHL, he became a minor-league hockey coach. His last stop was here with the Braves of the Central Hockey League from 1963-66. He joined the Blues in part so he could stay in his adopted home. He was born in 1921 in Dysart, Saskatchewan, population 180. As a lad of 12 or 13, he did manual labor during the Depression for 25 cents a day. The legendary Father Murray gave Kyle an athletic scholarship to Notre Dame College, actually a high school in nearby Wilcox. The priest and the school are the Canadian equivalents of Father Flanagan and Boys Town. Kyle, through a contact made while driving the team van, entered the elite Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He served a five-year hitch. Kyle and his late brother, Bill, ran the Kyle Brothers sporting goods store in Regina. Kyle later opened a branch in Calgary, Alberta.

Helen was born June 11, 1921 and was raised on a farm south of Dysart, SK. For most families of that era, life was tough, but Helen always relayed happy childhood memories of a home filled with music, games and constant gatherings of family, neighbours and friends. She moved to Saskatoon to help her convalescing aunt and worked briefly at St. Paul's Hospital. She then spent about 10 months in Toronto in a munitions factory until the end of WWII. When she returned to Regina, she was employed by Sears until her marriage to Walter in 1949. Walter and Helen farmed south of Cupar and raised their family of three girls. Helen dug into the hard work of a farm wife, having large gardens and raising animals. She mowed, gardened, painted, canned, baked, cooked, cleaned and loved. She was very creative and sewed, crocheted and knitted, did fantastic beadwork and needlepoint and her Ukrainian Easter eggs were awesome. When Walter died in 1984, she moved to Regina to her home in Lakewood, where she remained until her death. She was then able to enjoy the pleasures of retirement, which she did with great joy. She worked at Judy's business, she swam and walked every day and played a lot of bingo with her family and friends. She travelled to Western Europe and Israel with daughter, Jane, and made dozens of trips to Las Vegas with daughter, Milly. She also visited Eastern Europe and Alaska with friend, Kay, and enjoyed many mini-trips to casinos in the Northern U.S. Her greatest joy was to cook for, visit, and play cards with her family. She was a woman of simple tastes and needs, did what had to be done and made the best of any hand she was dealt. Our family is so grateful for her long, healthy and productive life, and her spirit will live in us forever. A Celebration of Helen's Life will be held at Holy Family Parish, 1021 McCarthy Boulevard N. on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. with Father Brad officiating, followed by Interment at Riverside Memorial Park.

Don loved his children and his granddaughter deeply; his pride in them knew no bounds. He was an outstanding father. Don loved to travel and explore, and he loved the outdoors. Don enjoyed cooking for his friends and family - so long as he was cooking cabbage rolls, creamed chicken with mamaliga, or chicken noodle soup, that is. He may have been the only person alive to consider dill a food group, and no matter what the recipe called for, it always needed a little more garlic. Don did many things in his life, from banker to camp cook, from businessman to bakery manager. But what he really was was a dreamer. He was a poet, and a romantic, who dreamed of someday writing the next great novel. Forever a jokester, his elaborate tall tales were delivered with such gusto that even the most serious face in the audience (usually his son) couldn't help cracking a smile when he reached the punch line. Everybody will miss him and his stories, but we know he is smiling down on us from above. No doubt, he's putting the finishing touches on the grandest whopper of them all - to share when we're together again. All those who knew Don, and those who's lives he touched, are invited to join us for a memorial service and celebration of his life at 3 pm, Saturday August 25 2012, at the Victoria Avenue Funeral Home, Regina.

URSULESCU - Wayne A. Ursulescu, owner of Pure Prairie Western Giftware and Coffee Garden in Dysart SK, went to be with the Lord at his home on August 27, 2009 in his wife's arms, following a courageous battle with Porphyria and Cancer. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Wayne was born in Limerick, Saskatchewan in 1948, the son of Mary Payne (nee Bachiu) and the late Alex Ursulescu. Wayne spent most of his early years on the family farm with his loving grandparents. Those wonderful memories influenced Wayne throughout his life. Wayne's family later moved to Regina and while growing up he loved sports, especially hockey and baseball, where he was an exceptional pitcher. Wayne attended school during the day while working at the Leader Post late in the evening to help support his family, all at the tender age of 13 years old. Wayne met his soul mate Rachel in his teens, and married her shortly after. He was ushered into fatherhood quickly with the birth of his son Dana in 1969, and soon after his son Darcy in 1970. They were both his pride and joy. He brought them up watching the Montreal Canadiens and listening to Neil Diamond, to which they are forever grateful. Wayne loved music, and experienced many exciting times early in life with his cousin Jerry Buckoski, who introduced him to new bands that came to play at the 5th Dimension in Regina. Music would always remain an important aspect of Wayne's life. Wayne was an avid bowhunter in his mid 20's and 30's, was heavily involved with the Saskatchewan Bowhunters Association and was their annual book editor from 1980 to 1993 and was also the former President and a lifetime member of the Wascana Archers. However Wayne was really a cowboy at heart, and could usually be seen wearing his trademark cowboy hat and boots. Forever influenced by his early days on the family farm, Wayne was imbued with an unlimited passion and interest in early western pioneer life. He translated that interest initially into painting statues of western characters & wildlife that were sold at Canadian Western Agribition from 1985 to 1994. In 1993, as their boys completed their university degrees, Wayne and Rachel decided to abandon convention and pursue their dreams, purchasing a log home in Dysart Saskatchewan. Here, Wayne would take his passion for western life to a new level, this time teaming up with his wife Rachel to start a business. Together Wayne and Rachel transformed their home and property into a beautiful, authentic tribute to the old west. Although Wayne had hardly picked up a hammer until his 30's, he was inspired by his early years with his grandfather Stefan who was an accomplished carpenter. Wayne then began to hand craft furniture from the wood of old abandoned prairie buildings, creating timeless works of art. Wayne's career of 38 years at the Leader Post as a graphic artist ended at this time due to his ill health, but started him on this last creative journey. Wayne's statues and rustic wood furniture have been purchased by people from around the world, and have been the subject of numerous newspaper, magazine, and television stories. However, despite the many accolades, Wayne remained a modest, humble cowboy, who loved his wife, sons and grandchildren more than life itself. Wayne is survived by his loving wife Rachel, & his sons Dana [Hana] and their daughter Sophia Ursulescu of Calgary, AB; Darcy [Lena] and their son Adam Ursulescu of Atlanta, GA; sisters Stephanie [Horst Stoltz] Ursulescu of Regina, SK, and Debra Burr (nee Ursulescu) of Dysart, SK; his brother Rick Ursulescu of Regina, SK, and his mother Mary Payne and stepfather Geoff Payne of Dysart, SK; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces & nephews across North America. At Wayne's request there will be no funeral service. Friends & family are welcome to come and celebrate Wayne's life & legacy at Pure Prairie located at 103 Victory St. in Dysart, SK, Saturday September 12, 2009, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. Those wishing to share stories or special memories of your time with Wayne are encouraged to send an email through Wayne and Rachel's website Contact Us page at www.pureprairie.net. We would like to thank the Regina Fellowship Assembly, Global Missions, and all family and friends for their prayers and support.
