ROBERT (JIM) GAILIS
1923 - 2013
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert,
early in the morning on Thursday, May 30, 2013 at Seven Oaks Hospital.
Left to cherish Robert’s memory is
his wife of 63 years, Amy; sons, Stuart, Peter (Leslie); and grandson Eric. He
was predeceased by his parents; brother Peter and niece Rasma.
Robert was born in Ilukste, Latvia, moving to Riga at an
early age. After the trauma of the Second World War, Robert arrived in England
where he met Amy in 1947. They married
in 1949 and in 1954 immigrated to Canada along with their 3 year old son. Robert worked in Winnipeg for Simon-Day for
33 years first as a Welder and then Shop Supervisor.
In compliance with Robert’s wishes a private family Funeral
Service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be
made in Robert’s name to Cancer Care Manitoba, 1160 - 675 McDermot Avenue,
Winnipeg MB R3E 0V9.
