Obituary of Charles Mezzo

Charles Mezzo 1932 - 2017 Sadly, on June 10, 2017, Charles Mezzo late of the Leask District passed away at the age of 84 years. Charles was born to Louis and Lydia Mezzo on June 20, 1932 at home in the Royal Lake District near Leask, SK. There were 5 sons and 2 daughters, one of which passed away as an infant. Lydia was helped by a midwife, and all 7 children were born at home. The family then moved further west in the Leask R.M. and Charles eventually took over the farm as the rest of the children grew up and left for other work. They had crops, cattle, horses and operated a small lumber mill on their land. Charles married Dawn Day from the Woodhill District in 1959. Soon after they moved closer to her family near Iroquois Lake and raised 2 children, Glenn & Myrna. Charles enjoyed playing the guitar, horses, and rodeo in his younger years and later enjoyed working with his cattle, farming, and spending time at home in the country. He also enjoyed attending his grandaughters piano and dance recitals. Due to health conditions caused by many strokes, Charles spent many years in the Wheatland Lodge Care Home. Even though everyday life was challenging he tried to participate in activities and managed to smile alot of the time.
