Lane Winsor

It is with great sadness we announce the sudden death of Lane Winsor at the age of 73. He will be dearly missed by his wife Jennifer. He will also be lovingly remembered by his brother, Roy (Donna) Winsor of Watford, Ontario, Janine (Tim) Nyitrai, nephew, Jake and nieces, Elle, Violet and Poppy of Calgary, Alberta.

Lane was predeceased by his parents James and Jean Winsor of Watford, Ontario, as well as his first wife Dana.

Lane was born in Chatham, Ontario. At the age of 3 his family moved to a farm near Watford. He attended Warwick Public School and East Lambton secondary School. His parents raised milking Guernsey cows and Percheron horses. It was there that Lane became interested in all aspects of farm machinery.

Around the age of 20, Lane felt the calling to go out west. There he became a skilled millwright. His trade eventually led him to a career with Canada Post, where he worked for 25 years until his retirement.

After retiring, Lane took much enjoyment in tinkering around fixing things on his acreage in Rocky View County. He also took much pride in his garden. Lane was also an avid reader and went through many books in his lifetime. His most recent endeavour was becoming an extra in the television series ‘Fargo’. His dog Thora and favourite cat Debbie will sorrowfully feel his loss.

Lane was a devoted friend and would never hesitate to help anyone in need.  He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Friends and family will gather for a Celebration of Life, which will be announced at a later date.

Many thanks go out to the EMS, Rocky View County Fire Department, RCMP and the Victim Assistance Society. Special thanks to Jason Fazakas who was passing by and was kind enough to stop and help Lane.
