William (Bill) Allen Lenton
June 28, 1931 – November 20, 2004
After a short battle with cancer, Bill Lenton of Miami, Manitoba quietly and peacefully found release from his earthly body.
Bill was a very strong, independent and progressively thinking man. Over the course of his life he was able to start many ventures and continued to generate new ideas and options that would assure the future prosperity of his beloved Miami community, his children and friends. He had the uncanny ability to look at everything from many different angles and always had suggestions on ways to improve, rebuild or expand a venture.
A pioneer by his own admission, Bill started the first bison ranch in Canada, and was one of the founding producers for the PMU industry through which his own farming operation thrived, but also provided him with the opportunity to travel extensively throughout Canada, United States and abroad. As he traveled he gathered many long time friends and associates and even more business ideas.
Bill served on many many board of Directors over the course of his life. He was the Chairman of the Co-oP Board, Chairman of the Miami Chamber of Commerce, Agricultural Chairman, first chairman of the Miami Junior Rifle Club, Director on the Pool Elevator Board, Secretary of the young Farmers Seed Club, member on the Red River Water Board, an Elder of the Miami United Church, Director for the National Farmers Union (provincially and nationally), Director on the Thompson Miami Development Board, one of the Founding members of the Miami Mule Derby, and perhaps his favorite position was a board member of the Canadian Bison Association and the Manitoba PMU Producers Associations.
He leaves to mourn his loving wife Pat, his brother Jim, daughters Diana, Janice, Gail, his son Darwin, foster son Wes Mecas, ten grandchildren who he was immensely proud of and 5 great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his first wife Myrtle in 1994, and his parents Frank and Ida.
Funeral service will be held from the Miami Community Center in Miami, Manitoba on Wednesday, November 24, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Debra Orton officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Boundary Trails Cancer Care Unit, Box 2000 Stn. Main, Winkler, MB. R6W 1H8.
