  [[ Obituary: http://passages.winnipegfreepress.com/passage-details/id-46918/name-James_Purse/keyword-hoard/order-publish_date%7CDESC,last_name%7CASC,first_name%7CASC/ JAMES CLARENCE PURSE James Clarence Purse, born May 6, 1925 in Manor, Saskatchewan received his personal wings on September 22, 1999. He was a gentle caring man who loved family, flying and playing golf with good friends (he is sure to be booking tee times with St. Peter). His battle with cancer was fought with the quiet patience and dignity that was a hallmark of his life. Jim will be forever missed by his wife and best friend Sheryl Hoard. He was a beloved father to Leslie (Jim) Banman, Osler, Saskatchewan, Clifford (Deb) Purse, Victoria, BC, Sean (Wendy) Post, Winnipeg, MB and Kristen (Gary) Eisenstein, Victoria BC. His grandchildren, Patti (Pat), Christopher, Derek, Christine, Ryan (Lisa), Alissia, Brock, Josh, Jill, Corinne and Rebecca will always remember his gentle and loving ways. Jims memory will also be cherished by his brother Jack (Lorraine) Purse; his in-laws; Vince Hoard, Jean Hoard, Wayne (Suzanne) Hoard, Deb (Jim) Woodman, Len (Alvina) Hoard, Delores (Don Ouellete) Cooke, Bev (Roland) Simard, Brand (Ed) Heppner and their families plus numerous cousins across the prairies and British Columbia. Jim worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway, International Harvester, Sears Canada and Canada Manpower in Winnipeg. He was so pleased to retire to Victoria, BC in 1989 where he had been posted with the Royal Canadian Navy during the war. He was predeceased by first wife Dorothy (Hagemier), his parents and his sister Patricia Clark. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations in Jims memory can be made to Victoria Hospice Society or the Vancouver Island Cancer Clinic, 1900 Fort Street, Victoria, BC, V8R 1J8. At Jims request, there will be no funeral service, however, a celebration of his love for life will be held at a future date. Thank you to the Victoria Hospice staff who helped on this final journey. Eternal twilight found him gentle still. Until we meet again my love. Published in the Winnipeg Free Press on October 02, 1999
