FALK, PETER GERALD

MR. PETER “COLUMBO” FALK, passed away peacefully in Lethbridge on the evening of Sunday, January 23, 2011. Peter is survived by his five children; Victor (Jacqueline), Harvey (Wendy), Larry, Linda Mae Desjardins and Clarence (Jo Ann), 19 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife Cecilia who died in May 2002. Peter was born in Morse, Saskatchewan in 1912 and spent his early years to young adulthood close to this area, with a few short stays working in Manitoba. After his marriage to Cecilia Caroline Usselman in 1945 and with a small family, they moved to Vauxhall, Alberta where he worked for the PFRA (Prairie Farmers Rehabilitation Association). When the contract was concluded and with two more children, they moved to Lethbridge where he eventually retired from the Separate School Board after many years of faithful service. Dad enjoyed spending time with mom, they travelled a few times during their retirement years, however, mom’s health kept them close to home. Dad loved to cook and often would show up at our homes with his delicious soup or one of his special salads. Dad was a very patient man who loved his children and grandchildren. Over the years, Dad supported many orphan children overseas in third world countries and was always generous with his time and means. We knew he loved us by his actions and words and hugs and kisses. Dad will be sorely missed by us all, we love you Dad.
