The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ community wishes to express its most sincere condolences to the family, friends and former colleagues of the late Geoffrey John England, a former long-serving member of the Faculty of Management.

A memorial service has taken place.

Geoff was born Jan. 9, 1950 in Cleethorpes, England and passed away at his home in Nelson, BC at the age of 61.

He leaves behind his mother Barbara England (nee Moody), sister Christine, his three sons James, Matthew and Ian and their mother, Marilyn (nee Race), his wife Sandra (nee Christou), and their three daughters Elizabeth, Mary and Barbara.

He was predeceased by his father Arthur England. As an arbitrator, educator, and academic writer he made a significant contribution to the field of labour law in Canada.

Geoff was a dedicated family man. He enjoyed many eclectic interests, spending hours playing guitar, learning languages, reading history but above all, he was a loving husband and father.

It was Geoffrey's wish that any donations be made to the Strathcona Society in support of soldiers and families of Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) tank regiment, PO Box 10500, Station Forces, Edmonton, Alberta T5J 4J5.

Chris Cran is a well known Calgary artist whose paintings have been exhibited across Canada and the United States.

Cran studied at the Kootenay School of Art in Nelson, B.C., before attending the Alberta College of Art in Calgary (where he later became an instructor). Cran's art practice has always been marked by a tongue-in-cheek sense of humour paired with extraordinary technical skill.

He is best known for his photo-realistic, self-portrait painting series, created between 1984 and 1989, and his half-tone stripe paintings of the past 20 years. These later pieces take found images from a variety of print media and replicate them at a multiplied scale, leading to distortion and optical illusion on the surface of the canvas.
