GURAN: In Loving Memory of Joseph Edward Guran. Joe went to be with the Lord on March 10, 2014 with his wife Rosalind, sister-in-law, Joyce and best friend, Leon holding his hands. We are saddened to lose him, but know that God only picks the best. He is in no pain and is reunited with his loved ones who have gone before. Joe was born Nov. 11, 1937 at Rosetown, SK. Joe farmed in the Marriott district by Rosetown until a serious accident forced him off the farm. Joe met Rosalind in Cando, and they were married on June 8, 1962. They bought a car lot in Saskatoon. Later they moved to Biggar and purchased a garage which they operated for many years. In 1967 they moved to Cando, continued with the garage, started farming and raising cattle. Joe loved farming, his cattle and the land. He had a work ethic second to none, and was very meticulous with his machinery. Rosalind and their son, Darrel, were Joe's two major loves. But the loss of their son was his greatest loss and took a great toll on Joe's life. Joe's generosity was overwhelming. Joe was a community minded person and supported everything that went on. He and Rosalind were always generous and helped anyone in need. Joe worked hand in hand with Rosalind and her catering business until he became too ill to do so. He battled with cancer for many years but left many stepping stones for us to walk on. He leaves to mourn, his wife Rosalind of 51 years; sisters-in-law, Joyce Tkach (Albert), Mary Ann Guran, Marion Nesdoly and Tess Bronsch; brother-in-law, Paul Nesdoly; sister, Agnes Millar (Don); brother, Frank (Agnes); sister, Kelly Flemming; brother, Edwin (Caron) and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his beloved son, Darrel; his parents, Mary and Joseph; sister, Margaret; brother, Clarence; in-laws, Margaret and Paul Nesdoly; sisters-in-law, Marjorie, Jennette and Susie; brothers-in-law, Mace, Victor and Clarence; niece, Donna. Joe was a big man with a BIG heart. Heaven welcomes you sweetheart. I will meet you and Darrel again. Be at peace. You earned your wings; now you are our angel. Forever loved and missed - 'till the chain is linked again. - Rosalind Card of Thanks My heartfelt thank you to all who helped me through a very difficult time losing Joe. Thank you to Rev.
