Lyndon ‘Tuk’ Schick, beloved husband of Sherri, passed away Monday, July 18, 2016 at the young age of 61 years.
He was born Dec. 31, 1954 in Melville, Sask. to Charlie and Mildred Schick and was raised in Duff, Sask. where he went to school until Grade 9. He graduated from the Melville Comprehensive High School.
Tuk farmed (self-described as an “Agricultural Specialist”) in the Lorlie area, alongside his father and brother, all while working as a conductor on the railroad. Tuk and Sherri were wed on Oct. 26, 1974 and settled in Melville. Tuk was devoted to his family, and he would often travel to Saskatoon and Calgary to visit his children and grandchildren. These times shared with his family were the most joyous times of his life.
Tuk had a love of sports and friends. These two were often enjoyed together. He was a back catcher for the Duff Dodgers fastball team. He also enjoyed playing hockey with the Moneymen, curling and golfing. His friendships were dear to him. Whenever someone was in need, Tuk was there to lend a
helping hand.
Tuk was predeceased by his parents, Charlie and Mildred Schick; and brother, Morley.
He leaves to miss him dearly and cherish his memory: his wife, Sherri; four children and two grandchildren, Kendra (Chad) Magus and children, Esme and Wynn of Calgary, Alta.; Kirsten Schick of Melville Sask.; Jade (Minji) Schick of Calgary, Alta.; Nevin (Karilyn) Schick of Calgary, Alta.; his brother, Wade Schick of Saskatoon, Sask.; and all the aunts, uncles and cousins, and the multitudes of lives he touched.
