BOYLE – Arthur Frances, passed away at Canwood Whispering Pine Place on Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at the age of 89 years. He was born to Richard and Kitty Boyle, but was raised by his aunt and uncle, Molly and Robert Boyle. Art spent his entire life on the farm at Canwood until his move to Shellbrook in 1998. He was a very good farmer, starting out with horse and plow and later with modern machinery. He also raised many sheep, cattle, geese, turkeys and ducks. Art enjoyed the outdoors. He loved fishing, hunting and trapping and for several years helped his friend, Walter Bourke on their mink ranch. When Irene came into his life he enjoyed camping, picking blue berries, and fishing. He enjoyed Irene’s family and all the grandchildren and liked his trips to Alberta. He enjoyed playing crib with a special friend Art Adrian and was a big help to Art and Lee when they moved to the farm. Art enjoyed company and liked people to stop in for tea. He had a good sense of humour and will be remembered for his special chuckle and beautiful smile. Art will be remembered by his companion of 30 years, Irene Rude; his half-sister, Shirley Larsen of Ontario; Irene’s family, Lian, Carla, Rudy, Mark, six grandchildren, and eleven great grandchildren; also several Boyle cousins; and sister-in-law, Stella Boyle. Art was predeceased by his parents, Richard and Kitty Boyle; his step-sister, Lily; two brothers, Richard and Tom. A Graveside Service will be held on Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at 2:00 PM at Canwood North Cemetery officiated by Doris Wideen-Bazley.
