TARLETON (JEFF) DAVID SHEARER It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Tarleton Jeff David Shearer, peacefully at Victoria Hospital, Winnipeg on Tuesday, April 29, 2014 in his 85th year. Loving husband of 42 years to Willa (nee Paterson, 2004) and devoted father to David and Kevin (Nadine); cherished Grandpa to Brook, Makayla, Brenden, Morgan, Sam and Mason the joys of his life. Also survived by his loving sister, Margaret Ridgway of Edmonton and many special nieces and nephews. A prairie boy to his core, Tarleton was born in Welwyn, SK in 1929. This is where, at the age of 18, he started his banking career; one that took him on a tour through many prairie cities and towns over his 40 years at the TD Bank. Tarleton thoroughly enjoyed his retirement years spending many winters in Florida with Mom and never losing his passion for music. In celebration of Tarleton’s life, a come and go reception will be held at the St. Charles Golf and Country Club, 100 Country Club Blvd., Winnipeg on Tuesday, May 6, 2014 between 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Words of remembrance to take place at 6:00 p.m. Special thanks to all his close circle of friends that supported him through life after Willa passed away, especially dear Lib.
