Obituary for Myles Dougall ANDRUS 1906 - 1997
ANDRUS--Mr. Myles Dougall Andrus, of Calgary passed away peacefully at his residence on Saturday, April 12, 1997, at the age of 90 years. Myles is survived by two daughters, Valorie (John) Lindebner and Beverly (Harvey) Wait; and four grandchildren, Terry Wait, Kim McCarvill, Cindy (Kevin) Speer, and Colleen McCarvill. Myles was blessed with four cherished great-grandchildren, Jordon Scott Hossack, Connor Paul Speer, Kyle Andrew Speer and Angela Catherine Speer. Myles is also survived by a nephew Clifford Everett Andrus and his children, Susan Katherine and Myles Everett. Myles will be missed by his devoted best friend of many years, Rose Burk, whose love and caring sustained him. His association with Rose allowed Myles to know and enjoy the company of her brothers, Robert (Sophie) Petley and Jack (Marion) Petley; and a sister Grace Watner; as well as her daughter Joan Anderson; and son Jack (Shirley Allendorft. Myles was happy in the roles of grandfather to Cameron Anderson, Clinton (Holly) Anderson, April (Scott) Harvey, Nelson (Carri) Anderson, Valerie Anderson and Rob Allendorf; and great-grandfather to Tanya, Douglas and Travis Harvey, Ethan and Emily Anderson, and Courtney and Jacqueline Anderson. Myles was born in Lincoln County, Agra Oklahoma on July 8, 1906 and at the age of three accompanied his parents to Calgary where his father entered into the hotel business with his grandparents. Calgary in 1909 was a vibrant, exciting and often wild little city and the hotel, located directly across from the C.P.R. station, provided quite enough excitement. One of his best memories was attending the first Calgary Exhibition and Stampede with his father. Myles grew up along with Calgary, his life and history running parallel to that of the city. He knew every swimming hole as a boy and every watering hole as a man. Being at the centre of it all, he watched as each construction boom slowly changed the look and life of Calgary. He was a voracious reader, retaining what he read in great detail, making him a formidable opponent in debate. Myles completed his education at Normal school in 1921. He worked at different times as a carpenter and as an electrician, and served in the Royal Canadian Air Force from September 30, 1940 to January 16, 1946. He was an active, long time member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 264. Myles did a little boxing as a young man and enjoyed most sports. He loved the outdoors and never missed an opportunity to fish. His was a familiar face at the race track for many years, and when the ponies were not running, there was always the stock market. In the seventies, he became a happy wanderer, packing up his camper and making several memorable trips south of the border. He was predeceased by his father John Dougall in 1913, his mother Olive Winnifred in 1974, and by his daughter Olive Darlene in 1943. Myles lived his life neither courting favour nor fearing censure, and he faced his long years of struggle with same no nonsense approach. His reply to "How are you doing", almost always elicited the quick response, "No complaints". Dad, it is really hard to say good-by, we wish so many things could have been different, but your journey here is past and you have surely earned your peace. It is left only for us to accept with love and "No complaints".
"Only when you drink from the river of silence
shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached
the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs,
then shall you truly dance".
Those wishing to pay their respects may do so at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY'S 'Crowfoot Chapel' [82 Crowfoot Circle N.W.] , on Thursday, April 17, 1997 at 3:00 p.m. with the Rev. Victor Kim of Grace Presbyterian Church officiating. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to the Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank Society, 7574 Flint Road S.E., Calgary, Alberta T2H 1G3 or to the charity of your choice. In living memory of Myles Andrus, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNER HOMES 'Crowfoot Chapel', 82 Crowfoot Circle N.W. Calgary. Telephone: 403-241-0044.
