Reginald Meggeson
February 2nd, 2021
It is with our heartfelt sadness that we share the loss of our Dad of 91 years young. Dad (Reginald) passed away peacefully on February 2, 2021 in Weyburn, Saskatchewan.
Reginald was predeceased by his daughter Gloria Meggeson; his parents George and Millie Meggeson; his sisters June Boswell, Grace Williams and Rose Reinhart; and his grandson Gary Meggeson. Reginald is survived by seven children Robert (Sally) Meggeson, Bruce Meggeson, Linda Meggeson, Kim Meggeson, Reg (Helen) Meggeson, Kent Meggeson and Diana Bahr; and his brother Gerry Meggeson. He leaves behind his grandchildren Lori Meggeson, Barbara Kresowaty, Shiela May Meggeson, Heather Meggeson, Shari Stettner, Kelly Schofer, Martin Meggeson, Terry Bahr, April Michaud, Travis Pederson, Alexis Kennedy, Randy Pederson, Logan Meggeson, Whitney Adelman and Nicki Hartman along with so many great and great-great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family and close friends. Dad will be laid to rest in Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery, Regina, Saskatchewan in the near future. Notice will be provided at a later date.
Dad worked in selling insurance, fixing old tube tv’s, and working as a letter carrier for Canada Post until he retired. After Dad retired, he moved out and lived at Saskatchewan Beach. Dad enjoyed his hockey games, curling, golfing, fishing, boating, skidooing and feeding the birds. Dad liked to travel and get in his car and go. Family was important to Dad, he loved visiting with family and friends. All the visits and special occasions were very important to him. These special times brought out a twinkle in his eye and his infectious smile, it was family time. Dad we love and miss you, we have our memories of you and you will be in our hearts and thoughts forever.

Reg was a long-time parishioner of St. Peter's Church in Lumsden. We will remember his devotion to the Lord and his ready smile. Our condolences to Reg's family on the loss of a kind and loving man.
I sat directly behind Reg in church for many years in Lumsden. We always visited before mass. A few winters ago when we had a lot of snow which often seemed to arrive Saturdays and he couldn't dig himself out for Sunday, he would of course not show up. My thoughts, Did Reg die and we don't even know? So when he did show up in the spring I got his cell number. Then I simply sat with him and we chatted. I enjoyed his dedication to our faith; his standards - he wouldn't stay for lunch after mass ( I heard him say he didn't eat pancakes and another Sunday, he doesn't eat hot dogs) but I did notice that JoAnn often packed a little something for him to go. And I admired his independence, living at Sask Beach and not that easy to get on his cell which was probably a little hard on his family. Rest in Peace Reg. I like to imagine how much you are enjoying heaven. Amen.
