MAURICE LAVERN “MOE” TORGUNRUD Moe passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 16, 2016 at the age of 92 years. He was born near Bromhead, Saskatchewan and grew up on the family farm. Moe was predeceased by his wife Florence "Sunny", parents Oliver and Agnes, brothers Arnold, Elvin, Ken, Mel and Norman, and sisters Adeline (Betteridge) and Oriel (Goranson). He is survived by his sons Craig (Linda), and Dave (Tim Rushton); his step-grandson Peter (Caroline) and step great-grandson Evan Armstrong; as well as many nieces, nephews and friends he loved dearly. Moe enlisted in the navy during World War II and served on a Corvette in the North Atlantic. Upon returning home he began working for SaskPower, at first as a lineman, retiring after 34 years. He was an avid curler and golfer and enjoyed baseball, hunting, fishing and working on word puzzles. Moe had a great sense of humour and enjoyed a good laugh. He was the greatest father with a kind, gentle, loving heart. By Moe's request a service will not be held.
