Rene Stanley Dlugosz, 1934-2007

Rene Stanley Dlugosz passed away peacefully at the High Prairie Hospital Nov. 24, 2007, at the age of 73 years. Rene was born May 10, 1934 to Andrew and Mary Dlugosz in the farming community of Forestview (Guy), Alta. His early years were spent working on the family’s farm and going to Whiteland School. He married his wife, Sophie, Oct. 22, 1959. A farm of his own in the Guy area soon followed as well as two sons: Richard, born in 1965, and Roger, born in 1967. The family bought a home in High Prairie in 1970 and commuted between the home in High Prairie and the farm in Guy for many years. Rene will be remembered most for his large stature, his friendly outgoing nature and his strong work ethic. The coffee shops will seem emptier without him. The bowling league and farm auctions will miss his conversation. The farmland and the vegetable garden will miss his determined labours. Rene is survived by: his wife, Sophie; his two sons, Richard and Roger; and his brother Kizic. Rene was predeceased by: his father, Andrew, in 1973; and his mother, Mary, in 1970. The funeral for the late Rene Dlugosz was held Nov. 29, 2007, at St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church in High Prairie with Father Abraham Srambical officiating. The eulogist was Gayle Dlugosz, the cross bearer Victor Zesko and organist Dorothy Cowell. Pallbearers were Peter Blacha, Bob Dlugosz, Jerry Dlugosz, Kyle Lunn, Ryan Lunn and John Mycek. Interment followed in St. Guy Roman Catholic Cemetery. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the High Prairie Golden Age Centre as expressions of sympathy.
