CARROBOURG

Garry Dale Carrobourg was born in Bassano, AB, and passed away 3 weeks short of his 79th birthday after a year-long battle with cancer.

As a child he moved to Coderre, SK where he grew up on a farm 5 miles west of town. He moved to Moose Jaw, married Josie Fink in 1965, and became partners and then owner of Brydges Office Equipment until the late 80's. He then moved to Swift Current and worked for Office Outfitters, and then worked for the City of Swift Current taking care of rinks in the winter and mowing with his favourite tractor in summer. He just retired at the age of 78.

Dad loved fixing anything mechanical, especially cars. He special ordered a Plymouth Fury 3 in 1965. He sold it, but years later tracked it down, bought it back, fixed it up again, and won several awards at car shows with it.

He leaves to mourn his best friend and companion Joan Ecarnot, his four children Brenda Mills, Carol Carrobourg (John Blondeau), Darren Carrobourg and Corrine Carrobourg.
