It is with much sadness we announce the passing of Landon
(Lanny) Ryan Cooper, aged 37.

Lanny will be lovingly remembered by all that knew him – his
family: wife Ashley Kniazky; children Livia and JD; his father Jon Cooper (deceased); mother Carol Cooper (née Weatherly);
siblings Kerri (husband Luke and children Sydney, Jazmyn and Max), Jason (partner Melissa and son Cruze), Dan, Brad (partner Ashley, children Alex and Oakley), Cam (wife Karin, and children Mattias and Maia), and Kandice (partner Daryl and children Oaklyn and Kash); extended family, and all his many, many friends.

Lanny was born a kind soul. As a young man he was an accomplished athlete, playing baseball, soccer, hockey, especially excelling as a diver. He met and started dating his wife Ashley at school in 2001. He went on to earn his red and blue seal as a journeyman
electrician, a job he enjoyed and was proud of.

Lanny was the most peaceful and gentle of men, the most loving husband and father. Lanny was loved by everybody that knew him, and loved everybody that he knew. We will continue honour Lanny and he will live on through his children, through all the ways Lanny touched us and changed us with his kindness, and by our continued sharing of our stories and memories of this most beautiful person.

Lanny will be laid to rest on Saturday the 10th of December. All those that knew and loved Lanny are invited to join the family during the day at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 10 Akins Drive, St Albert.

Viewing begins at 11:30am, Service at 12:30pm followed by a lunch.

He will be laid to rest at Northern Lights Cemetery, 15203 Campbell Rd NW, Edmonton at 3pm.

Friends are invited to join the family for a Celebration of Life from 4:30pm.

To honour Lanny in the most appropriate of ways, the family invites you to perform an act of kindness with him in mind. Be kind – it is what Lanny would do.

It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of our beloved son Scott Gero at the age of 36.

Born June 10, 1986 in Edmonton Alberta, Scott Gero was the son of parents Byron Joseph Gero (father) and Patricia Suzanne Gero (mother).

Scott is survived by Ruth Gero (stepmother), Rebecca Gero (sister) and Kris Gero (brother).

Scott’s interests were mechanics and machining for which he was naturally mechanically inclined. He had the ability and a vast knowledge of how to fix and repair things.
He had a profound love for Jeep 4x4s, off-roading, camping and dirt biking. He enjoyed vehicles and attending car shows with his Uncle Dustyn.

Scott enjoyed complex Lego builds, reading history books about black history, World War II and military books. Scott also had a love of NHL hockey, mainly the Oilers. One of his sayings was “Oilers forever, no matter what happens.”

Scott had a kind heart. The lives he touched will remember his humor and kindness. Our love for Scott is eternal and we wish him everlasting peace.

In lieu of flowers and donations, perhaps provide an unsolicited act of kindness for
someone in Scott’s name.

Cremation has taken place. A private memorial will be held by the family.

After a long and difficult illness, Wendy has passed away. She leaves behind a grieving family, and we are all mourning the loss of a true character at such a young age. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date. She will be missed.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of “the one and only” Con Basaraba on Tuesday, November 29, 2022 at the age of 87.

Con is survived by his wife, Rose Marie, 3 children: Elena Charlebois, Neil and Trevor/Charmaine as well as four grandchildren: Isabella, Ava (predeceased), Alexis, Cody Charlebois (Elena). He is predeceased by his parents Wasyl and Elena and siblings Stephen, Doris, Kay, Sandra, George, Harald, John, Alexander (Sandy) plus Alec, Mary and Pearl in infancy. He is survived by his sister, Victoria, in Vacaville, CA.

Con was employed with Continental Emsco for several years. With a honest, hardworking ethic he first established CB&R Enterprises and later Con’s Manufacturing and Energy Services Ltd in Nisku, AB which Trevor continues to operate.

The family would like to extend their gratitude and appreciation to the entire staff at MacTaggart Place, Leslie for her companion care, and to Sheila from AHS palliative care team who ensured his comfort in his final days.

Con will be remembered for his hard-working ethic, his sense of humor, and deep affection for the family pets: Beckett, Duchess, Gigi, and Yodi.

Respecting his wishes, a private family service is planned with cremation and interment at St. Michael’s Cemetery, Edmonton.

It is with a heavy heart that we honour the memory of Dwayne Lloyd Williams who passed away unexpectedly on November 9th 2022. He wasn’t the richest man, by any means, but he gave generously without asking for anything in return. From his last dime, to the shirt off his back. He wasn’t perfect, he was flawed like we all are, he recognised this and tried not to judge. He was smart and full of knowledge that he was always ready to teach anyone willing to listen and learn. It wasn’t always easy for him to express himself to others and he wasn’t always taken the way he intended. But, I hope he knew he was loved and he mattered and he will be missed more than you’ll ever know.
He is survived by his son Micheal Williams and daughter Danelle Roth, grandchildren Zachary Murray and Arion Murray, siblings Sandy, Debbie, Steven, Robert and his close friend Darlene Evanoff.
He is predeceased by his mother Rose Irene (Plante) and father Lloyd Simon Williams.

Moratto, Catherine Eve (Noni/Cathy/Kasia)

It is with great sadness that the family of Kasia (Cathy) Moratto announces her passing. She passed away peacefully in her sleep on November 16, 2022 at age 82.

Cathy is survived by her sons Tony (Jean) and Danny, and her daughter Anita (Glen); grandchildren Alex (Rebecca), Mateya, and Sydney; great grandchildren Sacha and Nico; sisters Tosia and Marysia, and many nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends. She was predeceased by her husband, Mario; sisters Irena, Jadzia, Lucia, and Lila; brothers Apolynary, Valenty, and Heniek; parents Daniel and Marta Hulko.

Cathy will be lovingly remembered for her firecracker personality and support for her family. She loved cheering on her children and grandchildren at sporting events and was so proud of their accomplishments. Cathy was an avid traveler, and took many trips to Mexico with her dear friend Joan and each of her children. She also loved reading, listening to the opera, and dancing to Lionel Ritchie.

In her later life she spoke more about her childhood; born in Dubnowicze, her family were displaced Polish refugees after the Soviet occupation of Poland. They traveled through many countries including Iraq, Kazakhstan and Tanzania. Despite her turbulent early life, Cathy spoke highly of their travels, and told stories of her first visit back to Poland and her desire to travel to Africa. In 1951, the family moved to Edmonton and began their life in Canada.

Cathy met Mario at a dance hall in Edmonton, and she said the earth shook the first time she saw him. They married on July 2, 1960; spending many years traveling together to Slovenia, Croatia, Italy and Germany. Their children and grandchildren fondly remember spending time with them at the cabin, enjoying the outdoors and each other’s company. Cathy and Mario were married for 59 years before his passing in 2019.

Cathy loved her family dearly, and we loved our Noni. There will always be a space in our hearts and the rooms of our gatherings for her. Cathy asked that there not be a funeral service, so we ask you to toast and have a private celebration of her life. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Cathy’s name to the charity of your choice.
