Ross James Dechaine

Dechaine, Ross James CD – 60 of Grand Lake, NS, passed away peacefully July 30th, 2013, at the QEII Centennial Building with my family at my side. Born in Regina, Saskatchewan, I was the eldest son of the late John and Lynette (Lovering) Dechaine of Stoughton Saskatchewan. At an early age I entered the military and I had a very successful career in the Canadian Armed Forces, serving for twenty years with postings in Manitoba (Portage La Prairie, Winnipeg), Nova Scotia (HMCS Iroquois) Europe (Lahr, West Germany) and Alberta (Edmonton). After all that movement, I decided to follow my wife’s wishes to retire and reside in her beloved province of Nova Scotia. My retirement was short lived, as I became an employee with Canada Post Corporation and worked for this organization until my official retirement in September 2012. I leave behind my lovely wife of thirty four years, Mary Alice (Robbins) Dechaine; sisters Judy (Garth Graham) Stoughton, Saskatchewan, Doris (Kent Bilokreli) Yorkton, Saskatchewan; brother John (Jocelyn) Dechaine, Gimli, Manitoba; sister-in-law Margaret (Angus Weeks) Wilmot, Nova Scotia as well as their families. By my wishes, there will be no memorial service and I will be cremated with a private interment held at a later date in Saskatchewan. In lieu of flowers and donations, I wish everyone to make every effort to enjoy your life, your friendships, and the most precious of all possessions – Your Family.
