It is with great sadness that we announce that on August 21, 2023, Randy Klassen passed away at the age of 66 years.<\/p>\n

Randy will be forever missed and loved by those he survived: his wife Darlene, children Jeff, James, and Johanna, son-in-law Luc, daughter-in-law Ha, his mother Gabrielle, his sisters Marlene, Pauline, and Cathy, his grandchildren Sylus, Cooper, and Hudson (who lovingly knew him as \u2018papa\u2019), his in-laws Billy, Barb, Bob, Claxton, and Brian, several cousins, nieces and nephews, many great friends, and a granddaughter due in January. He is predeceased by his brother Larry and his father Leslie. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.<\/p>\n

Randy was a proud veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, having served as a pilot from 1977 until 2005. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to a branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.<\/p>\n

‘High Flight’ by Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
\nAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
\nSunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
\nof sun-split clouds,\u2014and done a hundred things
\nYou have not dreamed of\u2014wheeled and soared and swung
\nHigh in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
\nI’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
\nMy eager craft through footless halls of air ….<\/p>\n

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
\nI’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
\nWhere never lark nor ever eagle flew\u2014
\nAnd, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
\nThe high untrespassed sanctity of space,
\nPut out my hand, and touched the face of God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
