Charles Haggarty

Charles joined the Royal Air Force Aircrew as an air navigator during WW11, at the age of 17. When he immigrated to Canada with his wife Bertha and firstborn son Brian in 1954, they settled in Mantario, where he accepted his first teaching position. His second son, Fraser, was born and completed their family a few years later. He eventually moved the family to Saskatoon so he could attend the U of S, and after two years, distinguished himself as a student of History. His next step was accepting the Principal position at the Radville High School, where he stayed for 16 years, then retired and relocated to Regina. Charles was respected and admired for his great intellect, his sense of humor and wit; his abiding love for his wife and family, and his support and loyalty for his friends.

Charles was predeceased by his best friend and loving wife of 48 years, Bertha, in 1999.

Left to honor his memory; brother Jack; son Brian (Karen) and family: Colin (Dylan, Quin); Heather (Randy); (Graham, Owen, Carly, Josh); son Fraser (Wendy) and family: Christa (Spencer, Hailey); Carla (Ian); (Daman, Keagan, Carsan, Teanna).

Charles loved and deeply cherished Cindy, Rachelle, and treasured friends of 60 years Harvey and Joyce.
