Dear friends,

One more year has almost past, and it’s unbelievable! One more good and happy year will remain in our mind as a part of our life.

Whenever people live – Canada or Russia - but their favourite holiday is Christmas or Happy New Year! We all love this magic winter holiday from the time when we were little kids and waited for Santa Claus’ or Father Frost’ gifts, and we still wait for a miracle and gifts!

We did have a wonderful 2007 year and one more of our dream came true – we spent a great time together with our Canadian friends оn a boat Cruise from St. Petersburg to Moscow in July 2007.

We wish you and your families all the best! We wish everybody to have a wonderful dream and may all your dreams come true in 2008!
MERRY CHRISTMAS and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Olga & Alexander Izyurov

Lewis (Lee) Chapman. March 24, 1948 - December 3, 2007

Lee sadly passed away December 3, 2007, after a long, courageous battle with cancer.

Lee spent his childhood on his family’s farm in Crooked Creek, Alberta, until his Grade 10 year when he decided to work on the oil rigs in the prairies instead of finishing school. Lee worked his way from the bottom up and achieved a successful career in the oil industry that took him all over the world. After 25 years on the rigs he retired and became involved with tire recycling in 1994. We all enjoyed having him home.
 
Lee was an inquisitive person, interested in the world and how life worked. His mind was always working, designing and thinking. He had an innate common sense and could always be trusted to give you well thought out advice. He was smitten with his granddaughter Hanna. The two shared a special bond. He was her papa.

Lee leaves behind to always miss him his wife Elizabeth, son Quentin ( Brooke), daughter Rachelle ( Brad) , granddaughter Hanna, brothers Earl ( Dawn), Greg ( Shandell) and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

Special thanks to Dr. Pullan, Dr. Thomson, Dr. Nielsen, Dr.Pewarchuck and the nurses and staff on 2 south.

A gathering will be held at the family home on December 15, 2007, from 1-4 p.m. for anyone who would like to come and share stories and memories of Lee. Inurnment will take place in Sturgeon Heights, Alberta at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, or to a charity of one’s choice.
