Dear Folks,
I want to send my condolences on the passing of your Dad, Vern Triol. Seeing him and some of the children at the Farmers' Market a few weeks before his passing, was so nice. I thought it was so nice that some of the children were with him to see Funk's Funeral Home and especially you, Melanie was the only person I recognized. I guess we never know when our time is up!!
on behalf of Hertha Dahl, Rosthern, SK

My Memories of Dad
How much he loved Mom and how much she loved him. Their devotion to each other was undeniable and unbreakable;
He loved and was very proud of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. While distance made regular personal contact difficult, he was always very happy to have visits whether they were were brief or extended. Even if his occasional gruff exterior hid a soft marshmallow heart;
He cared deeply for his siblings, siblings-in-law and their families;
Dad reading Mel and I “The Night Before Christmas” every Christmas Eve (There is a picture of this in the photos section);
Dad’s Lazy Man Cabbage Rolls;
Dad’s silly little shuffle whenever he won a round of Liar’s Dice or Blackout;
Watching Dad and Kelly make salsa using Mom’s recipe and Dad’s garden produce and both of them laughing and enjoying their project and the result;
My first job was at the Rosthern Co-op Farm Supply. Dad was my boss. I worked there all through my high school years. I also worked with my brother Jeff. Dad also gave job opportunities to several of my school friends (Greg Bergman, Gordie Ratzlaff). He taught me the value of hard work and doing the job right the first time;
Dad and Mom travelled to East End, Saskatchewan to watch our High School Provincial Basketball Playdowns. They stayed the entire weekend to watch the Rosthern Huskies become “A” Provincial Champions;
When brother Daryl played junior football for the Saskatoon Hilltops, we would go to every home game at Gordie Howe Bowl. When Daryl moved to the Red Deer Packers, Dad and Mom watched Daryl play a preseason game in Saskatoon against the Hilltops;
When I played junior football for the Edmonton Wildcats, Dad and Mom would travel to Saskatoon to watch my games against the Hilltops;
When our nephew, Dustin, played junior football for the Edmonton Huskies, Dad and Mom would travel to Saskatoon to watch his games against the Hilltops;
Taking Dad to his first NHL game in Edmonton. Don’t remember the score but the game saw the Oilers vs the New York Rangers;
Dad and Mom coming to Edmonton before our wedding. We went to West Edmonton Mall where Dad helped me pick out a suit for our wedding and Mom helped Kelly pick out her wedding dress;
How proud Dad and Mom were when Brynn and Curtis were born and how willing and excited they were to spend time with them;
Kelly and I going to all the Fall Suppers with Dad and Mom around Rosthern every year; while we lived in Saskatchewan;
Picking Dad and Mom up at Union Station in Toronto. They had taken Via Rail from Saskatoon to Toronto so they could visit family (including us) in Ontario. It was an eye opening experience for them;
Taking Dad to a game 4 of the first round of an NHL Stanley Cup playoff game at Air Canada Centre. Dad watched me participate in an in-game trivia competition which I won and got to meet Johnny Bower. The Leafs completed their sweep of the Senators that night and you would have thought they had won the Cup. Crazy Leaf Fans;
Picking Dad up at Pearson Airport prior to the Grey Cup game in 2007. We were able to enjoy a family dinner with Dad’s sister Irene while he was here. And of course, the Riders Grey Cup victory in Toronto;
Too many more to post.

Here are some memories of my dad - things that have been on my mind lately:
- One year, when my Luther League group was raising money for a trip to Ottawa, we read water meters for the town. I was doing this on a very hot day and of course, just walking from house to house. When I came out of one house, dad was waiting for me in the car, with the air conditioner on, just so I could cool off.
- Spending a week at Emma Lake in summer.
- Seeing dad in the stands at school sporting events.
- Watching the animated Disney movie Peter Pan, and dad laughing at the crocodile with the ticking clock in his belly. Peter Pan was my favourite story when I was a kid, and because of that, and this memory; these are the reasons why I have a tattoo of Peter Pan on my arm.
- Family waking up, one by one, and dad having to keep adding a cup of water and a cup of oatmeal to the pot, because we each asked dad “Are you making porridge?”
- Meal times at family get togethers when mom and dad would fill their plates first, and then call out that supper is ready.
- Regardless of the weather or the road conditions, dad would take me out to practice driving, so I would have experience driving in heavy rain, on icy roads etc.
- Watching dad water and tend to his garden and how he much joy this gave him.

Vern was a frequent visitor to the Station Arts Centre and Station Arts Tea Room in Rosthern. He was kind, appreciative and a loyal customer. He appreciated fine things: good food, conversation, art, and gardening to name a few. For many years he would bring us fresh-cut trilliums which he managed to carefully cultivate beside his home in Rosthern. This was always a special gift for my Sister Joan and I. Being originally from a more temperate Southern Ontario where trilliums grow wild, we were enchanted when Vern would for several years, present his 'Saskatchewan' trilliums.
Vern, very kind and thoughtful.
Thanks again. Your memories will remain.

Melanie;
In his last years in Rosthern your Dad was a regular congregant at Trinity. He always enjoyed the antics of the young children during the services.
We remember his generosity and kindness in always offering rides to church to members without vehicles or with health problems.
He is fondly remembered by us. Sincere condolences.
