Two Carnival Legends Lost - VenuesNow

International Association of Fairs & Expositions in Las Vegas Dec. 1. Bingo Hauser, Oct. 13, 1926-Sept. 13, 2015 Bingo's funeral earlier in Langley, B.C., drew 900 mourners. Both men left a legacy that will be long remembered in show business. A CHARACTER EXTRAORDINAIRE Nearly 400 friends, one from Australia, several from Houston, and from fairs around the West, attended the Tony Fiori Memorial Tour, which came complete with souvenir T-shirts. "What's a tour without a T-shirt," said RCS owner Guy Leavitt. Tony died Nov. 18 after a long illness. His family, which includes wife Sharon, two sons, Nick and Gino, and two brothers, George and Steve, attended another memorial service held Monday in Fiori's hometown of Santa Rosa, Calif. RCS's Charlene Leavitt said she and her husband, Guy, had known Tony since 1975. He actually got his start in show business even sooner, buying a pizza truck from Denny Thompson a year after he started working for Thompson. Lon Russell, his partner in that long-ago pizza truck who is now in real estate, emceed the service. A video of Tony Fiori photos captured the man. (VT Photo) It was obvious from the beginning in that pizza operation that Tony was management, not labor, Russell said. He spent his time hobnobbing, politicking, planning and giving away pizza. Tony-isms mentioned during the tributes to his life included: "Start without me; I'll be right back" and "Go big or go home." Every fair he played was the best fair. Tour dates on the back of the Farewell T-shirt included the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, University of Arizona Spring Fling, Pima County Fair, San Diego County Fair, Orange County Fair, Antelope Valley Fair, L.A. County Fair, Arizona State Fair, and Heaven. He was inducted into the Pi...

New biker gang with ties to Hells Angels crops up in Lower Mainland - Maple Ridge News

Wednesday, March 27, 2019

A new motorcycle gang police say is affiliated with the Hells Angels has established itself around Fort Langley. Members of the Street Reapers motorcycle club were reportedly spotted at the funeral of slain Hells Angel Chad Wilson in Maple Ridge on Saturday. "The Street Reapers are actually a motorcycle club that are closely associated and have close ties to the Hardside chapter of the Hells Angels," said Sgt. Brenda Winpenny, spokesperson for the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU), an anti-gang policing unit. The Hardside Hells Angels chapter is based near Langley as well, in the Port Kells area of Surrey. The Street Reapers appear to have come into existence in late 2017, a little more than a year ago, said Winpenny. "We have noticed them at several of the Hells Angel ride events over the summer of 2018," she said. There are believed to be between six to 10 members of the club; six is the minimum number for a motorcycle club of this type, Winpenny said.

Health, mechanical issues probed after train kills B.C. seniors - Maple Ridge News

Saturday, March 02, 2019

They had health issues, like everyone does when you get to that age," said Hans Wantke, the oldest son of the Langley couple who were killed when their car was hit by a train at a level crossing on Sunday. He said the family would like to know what happened as soon as possible, but they understand the investigation will take as much time as it needs. Christian Wantke, 90, and Irmgard Wantke, 88, were great-grandparents who were married for more than 70 years. Hans Wantke says his father was a survivor of the Second World War, a hard-working man who liked to work with his hands. His parents emigrated to Canada from Germany after some friends encouraged them to go, Hans recalled. "They told him there was gold at the end of the rainbow," said Hans. "The rainbow never materialized, but he [dad] stayed. He always said he would never go back." He said his father served a brief stint in the German military as the war was coming to an end, and the country was being devastated by allied air and ground forces. "He was only 17 when he was drafted, at the very end of the war," Wantke said. "I don't believe he saw combat." In Canada, his father quickly learned English and worked in construction, starting as a labourer, then becoming a plasterer's helper and eventually a truck driver ...

Touching photo of dog at Langley funeral goes viral - Abbotsford News

Saturday, March 02, 2019

Jeremy May, Elements' president. That's when the family told of Sadie's deep connection to Andy and asked if the dog could attend the funeral which took place late last year in Langley. They adopted her at about eight weeks old. "She calmly walked in [to the funeral]. She did not have to be forced," May said. "She spent a few moments there and then she calmly walked out." When Sadie put her front feet up on Andy's casket, May took a photo for his widow. "She'll need this as part of her journey," he thought. He said the energy in the room was "amazing" when Sadie came in so calmly and said her farewell to her human. It's not the first time Elements has had pet requests, so far all for dogs. It's one of the few funeral firms that allows pets at services. "It's very clear that dogs do register our emotions and their own," he said. Recently the funeral home asked the family if it could put the picture on its social media because the staff found it so touching and was told yes. May said his widow has found comfort in having the keepsake photo. But then the image went viral. The funeral home has had calls from media around the world. "Literally within 20 minutes [of the posting], the calls were coming in," he said. May added that his widow has been somewhat overwhelmed by the response but Elements and the family have been touched by the outpouring of sympathy for Sadie and support for the importance of pets in people's lives. Before the funeral, Sadie had stopped eating and lost about 10 lbs. She was not herself. After saying her goodbyes to Andy, she ate a big meal and is slowly returning to her old self, the family reported to the funeral staf...

Wednesday, March 27, 2019

Auntie Ellen.' Ellen White, Kwulasulwut, died Tuesday at age 95, and her funeral was held Saturday morning at the Beban Park Social Centre. White was a member of the Order of Canada and the Order of British Columbia and her obituary remembers her as an "educator, cultural knowledge keeper, author, linguist, herbalist, healer, traditional midwife, and political activist and advocate." She was one of the founders of the Tillicum Haus Aboriginal Friendship Centre and was an elder-in-residence in Vancouver Island University's First Nations studies program. "She possessed a pure, kind and radiant heart," said Les Malbon, who described himself as one of White's adopted grandchildren as he delivered her eulogy Saturday. White's name, Kwulasulwut, translates to ‘many stars' and Malbon alluded to that as he addressed the people gathered in the social centre. "I look out now and I see the many stars," he said. "I see how she impacted the community. I see how much she loved her family and I appreciated, personally, how much that love changed me and how it's changed all of us to be better people and behoove us to be kind to one another and to work towards a world of unity." Malbon said the White home was always filled with visitors, and Ellen White also travelled to meet people and sh...
