In Loving Memory of
Mr. Arthur Wollan

It is with heartfelt sorrow that his family announces his passing, at the Anson General Hospital on Friday March 23, 2012 at the age of 87 years.

Art worked as a senior draftsman at Abitibi until his retirement. Art and Eilleen both spent many days at their cottage at Watebeg Lake enjoying the outdoors, gardening in the summer, and hunting in the fall. Art was a member and leader of the Scouting movement for many years. Art and Eilleen gave much of their time over the years coaching and teaching all the principles of the Cubing program to many a young boy.
We will never have to say goodbye
You have gone to a place where there is no suffering and pain
But for now we need to go our separate ways
Until we all meet again
In our triumphs you were always proud
You were always there to listen and to love
Here deep inside our hearts you will always be
It is difficult to let you go but we all must
Thank you Dad and Grandpa for always listening, caring, and loving us! Till then; see you in heaven……
