Earl Donnelly

The Bow Valley community lost a rare treasure last week

with the passing of Earl Donnelly.

A proud Irishman, he also called the valley home for over 40 years, and during that time he enriched so many of our lives with his unique humour, warm smile and a helping hand wherever it was needed

Earl never like to see anyone that he cared about upset or hurting,

and if someone was, he'd buy them a drink or two and try

to make them laugh.

He would have wanted us to do the same now, and so we had a Celebration of his Life at Patrinos on Saturday, April 26. There was also a Celebration at the Last Call into the evening.

Contact details for the family by contacting Randi at Randi_Baergen@banffcentre.ca. .

Friends wishing to remember Earl are encouraged to make

a donation, in his memory, to the Bow Valley SPCA,

123 Bow Meadows Cres., Canmore T1W 2W8
