Tribute

It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of Charles Henry Cuthbert.
(Charlie)
He was born in British Columbia on March 13, and passed away on the eve of
Saturday,  January 27, 2024 at Surrey Memorial Hospital.
Charles enjoyed music, was a good student and a natural athlete growing up. He
enjoyed swimming, and received his Bronze Medallion at the age of 15, but was
too young to be a life guard. He did exceptionally well at track and field, hockey,
wrestling and golf.
He remained an avid sports fan his entire life. However, golf was the sports hobby
he enjoyed into retirement.
He worked very hard through out his life no matter what the job, he was up to the
task. When he went to work for the Bulkley Hotel in Smither’s he met his spouse,
Jeanette. They began their life together shortly after and up routed from B.C to
Saskatchewan. There he began masonry working for his uncles in the family
business called Hagblom Construction. He was recognized for his skills and
abilities within the trade, and exceeded many expectations. Which is why he was
given the opportunity to operate the Branch in Winnipeg, Manitoba where he
moved the family to set out on a new adventure. He worked for a few other good
Masonry businesses throughout the years as a mason, foreman, restorer of
historical buildings and estimator.
Charles helped build, and restore many schools, condos, apartments, historic
building and large malls and stores such as Costco, Canadian Tire, and Polo Park
to name a few. This was not just in Manitoba but includes Alberta, Northern
Ontario and of course Saskatchewan.
He was a big family man and loved family time no matter where it was or what
the weather, He made the best of it for all of us always. Even did the typical
embarrassing dad things too. He loved camping, fishing, travelling, card games,
games in general, barbequing, cooking, sports (golf in particular), or simply
hanging out watching movies or TV.

He was a loving son, brother, a devoted loving husband and the best father
anyone could have asked for, you were never judged and were loved
unconditionally.
Charles is survived by his sister Carynne (Stephen), brother Dean (Merle), Sister in-
law Margaret (David). His children Sonya (Kimel), Peter (Sara), and Lora. His
grandchildren Morgan and Henry as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
He is predeceased by his brother Garry, his spouse Jeanette, his mother Gudren
and his father Charles.
We rejoice today knowing he has been welcomed by the loved ones that went
before him and especially the reunion with his darling love and partner Jeanette.
The interment of his ashes reuniting him with Jeanette with be at 2:00 pm on
Friday June 14,2024, located at Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery 14850 28 Avenue,
Surrey, BC V4P1P3. There will be a celebration of life to follow, start time and
