Celebration of Life Saturday, July 4, 2015 2:00 p.m. Quill Lake Community Legion Hall, Quill Lake, Saskatchewan. Social to follow. Marty Frank Halpape passed away peacefully on June 30, 2015, in the Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon, SK., surrounded by his immediate family. Marty completed Kindergarten to Grade 12 in Quill Lake, Saskatchewan. During high school, he was involved in volleyball, curling, and hockey. It should come as no surprise that Marty was also actively involved on the social committee. He then moved to Saskatoon to complete his studies in Renewable Resources Technology at Kelsey Technical Institute. He then started work as a part-time Park Security Officer at Greenwater Lake Provincial Park. This is where he met his true love, Jeanette Anne Walker. They were married March 22, 1986. Marty then took a fulltime Conservation Officer position at Loon Lake. This was an extremely tough time for him, as he did not enjoy being away from his family, so he quickly transferred to Wadena, SK. After working in Wadena, Marty took the position as Park Manager at Moose Mountain Provincial Park. He was then promoted to Southeast Provincial Park Area Manager (Moose Mountain Provincial Park) and then to Southern Director of Parks Service (Regina), a job that he was so incredibly proud of. Marty is survived by his beloved wife, Jeanette, daughters; Katelyn (Ryan Fung-Burnaby, BC) and Katelle (Andy Gillingham-Pense), mother, Emily (Wadena), and sisters; Shirley (Frank Bulka- Kelliher), Valerie (Larry Crawford- Winnipeg, MB), Gloria (Erwin Nycholat- Calgary, AB), Lyla (Darrell Tweidt- Elko, Nevada), Ione (Vernon Richards- Winnipeg, MB), and Darla (Darren Brown- Prince Albert), parents-in-law, Jack and Gwen Walker - Tisdale, SK, Sister-in-law, Heather (Vernon Olson - Star City, SK), Brothers-in-law; Dave (Debbie Walker - Saskatoon, SK), Vince (Sharon Walker - Melfort, SK), As well as many Nieces and Nephews and their families and numerous extended family. Marty is predeceased by his father, Frank, and we know they will now be reunited to spend their days fishing and tinkering around the yard. Marty's first love was the cabin at Greenwater Lake. He and his family spent countless summer and winter holidays there. While Katelyn and Katelle were growing up, family holidays were spent camping and downhill skiing. Once his girls were off to university, he and Jeanette began taking annual Mexico vacations. Marty's favourite spot was Isla Mujeres. Wherever Marty went, he always enjoyed meeting people and creating meaningful friendships. Part of those friendships involved hosting numerous gatherings, which ranged from fine dining to Roughrider parties and backyard campfires. Marty also enjoyed gardening and took pride in maintaining a beautiful yard. In his free time, he enjoyed walking with Jeanette and their dog Almond, fishing, hunting, and talking with his friends and family. Marty will always be remembered for his hardworking and fun-loving character.
