On August 25, 1945, he married Lola Lamb in Lethbridge, AB, celebrating their sixtieth wedding anniversary last year. They have three children, three grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Dore was predeceased by his parents Carl and Maria; and his sisters and brothers, Hilda, Esther, Carl, Mary, Theodore Axel (Ted), twins Anthon Homer (Huck) and Oscar Edward, Emma, Edward, Oscar Edwin, and Dorothea. He is survived by his wife Lola; son Robert (Gloria); daughters, Diane (Ernie) Landry and Wendy (David) Murray; grandchildren, Sandra (Richard) Shannon, Terri, and Virginia; and great-grandchildren, Daniel and Janelle.
Dore worked most of his life as a Radio Technician. He started out at CJOC Lethbridge in 1945 and went on to work for the CBC, at CBX in Watrous, SK, CBR in Lacombe and CBC in Calgary for more than thirty-three years until he retired. He was a talented technician, a genius at fixing anything that was broken, and a troubleshooter who could figure out what was wrong when no one else could. Radio was his work, his passion and his hobby. He was an amateur ham radio operator with the call letters VE6YA. His key has fallen silent now.
Dore was a trapshooter and he belonged to the Calgary Gun Club for years, enjoying trapshooting and skeet. He reloaded his own shotgun shells, and even made his own lead shot. He won bronze in trapshooting in the Alberta Senior Games in 1975 and many times in his life shot 50 or 100 straight. He loved camping, fishing and hunting game birds and taught all his children to appreciate the sport of target shooting and the safe-handling of firearms. Dad was a great storyteller and, to the very end, he had a sense of humour and was joking with his caregivers.
Funeral Services held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Calgary Alberta South Stake (14540 Parkland Boulevard S.E.) on Thursday, July 13, 2006.
