ILLINGWORTH: Well Family, friends and neighbours, we are here today to remember our Son, brother, uncle and gentleman all wrapped up in one. On Feb. 8, 1948 Brian, along with his twin brother Bruce were born in the Notre Dame Hospital, now called Battlefords Union Hospital. At that time Brian and Bruce were the first set of twins born there. Upon their arrival home their oldest sister switched name tags, but Mom got the tags back on the right one. What are big sisters for? As time went on another sister came along, Eleanor by name; then the youngest sibling, a brother by the name of Alvin. In the future years, school comes along. The first years were spent in a country school called East Hill. Brian s first teacher was Hazel Acaster, who later became his cousin upon her marriage to Doug Illingworth.
