MORGAN
(POGUE) KELSO
A very good man has left us and it is with
great sadness that the family of Pogue Kelso announces his passing on Thursday,
January 23, 2014. After overcoming the last challenge he was faced with, Pogue
will now be re-united with his wife and be able to catch up with some old
friends.
Pogue was born December 6, 1925, the first of
three children, to Thomas and Mary Kelso. He was predeceased by his parents;
brother; sister, and his wife. He is
survived by his three children Clarice, Evelyn, Morgan (Fern) and his grandson
Morgan. Also left to grieve are numerous friends and relatives.
Dad led a very good life and he enjoyed it to
the fullest. He had a loving family and very long list of friends; he was in
the military, owned a business, spent time in local politics and really enjoyed
being part of the local Lions club. The majority of Dad’s life was spent in
Roblin, Manitoba where he lived independently in his home up until a month ago.
He loved the game of golf and played it up until his mid-seventies. When winter
came along his attention focused on hometown hockey. Dad and the old boys sure enjoyed having a
couple of drinks and going to the game.
His friends, neighbors and family helped him
to live independently in his own home up until he passed on and this meant the
world to him. Many thanks to all who
helped him keep his independence. We sure had a few good arguments when the
words “old folks home” came up. Because of this one of his fondest memories
will probably be sitting at home on his 88th birthday celebrating
the event with his grandson.
Dad sure appreciated the letters of
encouragement sent from back home while he was in the hospital resting; the
autographed napkin from the coffee gang was great. Judy, Trixie and Pete your
visits helped brighten his final days.
There won’t be a formal funeral; instead
there will be a get together in the spring where we can celebrate Pogue’s life,
but that shouldn’t stop anyone from raising a farewell glass to him now.
Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel & Crematorium,
2157 Portage Avenue, 204-897-4665, is in care of arrangements.
