When I was in grade 7 I moved in to my Grampa’s house where my father was living. I feel that my life was greatly enriched by having the chance to live with my grampa; North American values usually leave everyone more than one generation removed living elsewhere. He gave me a lot of my perspective on life and he was a large influence during my early teens. Some of my ethics came from him, as do much of my manners.

When he passed away, I was very sad until I saw the body in the hospital… I remember thinking, “That’s not him,” and the sadness lifted. It’s taken me years to realize that even back then I saw that he would live on forever in the ever expanding circle of people and events that he’d touched. He was truly a great man: he was the head civil architect of Edmonton for many years, he won the Alberta Achievement Award for community service, he was constantly involved with his church, he won both the Silver Wolf and the 50yr Service Pin from the Boy Scouts (two of their highest honours), and most importantly to me, he was my grandfather.

I will always cherish his memory and feel it proding me on to become more than I am.

Born to Brenda and Bruce Audley.

It’s odd, talking about myself is never a problem but when writing about myself I tend to be at a loss for words.

I’ve been through from rough times with my father: the death of my grandfather, the Real Estate Crisis and many more.

From my father I gained my ability to interact with people. That sounds like a basic skill but it’s far from it. Being able to connect and communicate with anyone in any circumstance is challenging and my father is the one who gave me the skills to do it effortlessly. Every facet of my life is interwoven with threads of communication; thanks to my father, those threads are strong and thick.

Born of George Audley and Catherine Bohychuk.

Although we have not been married for many years, I still consider him to be a good friend. Bruce is known for his humour and very kind heart. His greatest gift to me was our son, Patrick.I still have some lovely jewelry pieces that Bruce gave to me; these will be passed on to Patrick's wife when I am gone.When I think of some of the parties, family times and holidays we shared, I have to say that I have some really wonderful memories of Bruce.

What more can you say, it’s my mother. That word means so much to me: mentor, parent, friend, confidant, consoler, conspirator.

From my mother I gained my love of learning; she read to me before I could speak and was the person who taught me to program when I was six. Who knew from those humble beginnings would develop my innate ability with information to the peak it is today.

In 1994, Jan (see below), a flight attendant with Canadian introduced my Mom to Rick her cousin. They were married that December.

Born of Stanley Bayrack and Nellie Fedoruk.

Mom was a great cook and always ordered things from the Shopping Channel on TV. She had gadgets for everything. Mom, the Bingo Queen, could play her own 24 cards, watch Dad's to make sure he was marking the numbers and talk while she played! She was an avid crib player and she and Dad played every night for the last 9 years of her life. She was very creative with pegging when she was close to loosing a game. Above all, Mom always loved us, sometimes not liking the things we did, but always stood up when she was needed. Mom loved to "be the boss" and especially liked to "bait" Dad into an argument until he realized what she was doing. When she was learning how to drive, she almost ran over an RCMP officer and was always hitting the garbage cans in the alley. Needless to say, Dad was Mom's chauffeur! Everyone that knew Mom loved her sense of humour and her smile. We all miss her!
