Bob was a man of strong faith with traditional values. He was community-minded, hardworking, generous and optimistic. When he thought about buying a photography business, his father thought it was a bad idea. Bob persevered with hard work and passion, and he was able to fulfill his goal of owning a successful business. Bob and Gert purchased Charnell Studio ( Weyburn) in 1960 while raising their first four children. Bob worked there in his spare time, after hours from his regular job, and on Saturdays. After three years, he began working at the studio full time. He took daily breaks to socialize with friends at local coffee spots, swap a story or two, and share his sweet sense of humour. Bob and Gert's family grew to seven children. Bob had a dream of farming and purchased 800 acres of farm land to grow wheat and barley. In 1977 he moved his family to the farm. Bob and Gert retired in Weyburn to a new house they built. From there they traveled the world: Australia to Costa Rica, New York to the Ukraine, China to Brazil and beyond.

Obituary
Gertrude Lukey of Weyburn, SK passed away at Regina General Hospital on November 6th, 2013 at the age of 84 years. Gertrude will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Bob; her children: Carol (Russ) Roome, Weyburn, Ron (Helene) Lukey, Marquette, MI, Janet (Lorne) Ebel, Weyburn, Simone (Doug) McCosh, Saskatoon, Evan (Sherry) Lukey, Coldstream, BC, Brian Lukey, Burnaby, BC, Adele (John) Popp, Erickson, MB. She will be sadly missed by her 13 grandchildren, one great-grandson; brothers Alfred, Dave (Linda), Orville (Bev) Ottenbreit; sister-in-law Pat Ottenbreit; brother-in-law Walter Lukey; her aunt Clara Ungar and her many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Gertrude was predeceased by her parents Frank and Caroline (Exner) Ottenbreit, her twin sister Julia Hicke and her in-laws Simon and Irene Lukey.

Gert Lukey was many things - a devoted, faith-filled Catholic, a choir member, a member of the Catholic Women's League, a Brownie leader, a world traveller, a knitter, a great cook, the family historian, but mostly Gert was a mom, in the fullest sense of the word. She was a mom to her seven children - Carol, Ron, Janet, Simone, Evan, Brian and Adele. She was a grandmother to her thirteen beloved grandchildren, a great grandmother to her one special great grandson and she was a mom to her mom when Gert took care of her through her last days. Gert had many hobbies to keep her busy, needle-work, cards, but her greatest pastime was keeping track of all she met - family and strangers alike. Gert was a oral family tree, she knew relatives back several generations in every direction. Upon meeting someone, she would also waste no time in finding out the person’s genealogical background and invariably make a special, personal connection with them. Christmas and Easter celebrations were always a special time for Gert with lots of family over for fun and games and those great meals filled with the wonderful food of the season. Gert revelled in the many Ottenbreit and Lukey family reunions over the years. She was usually the instigator and was always the event planner and director. Just this fall, she was in the midst of planning Bob and her 60th anniversary for next August, which, naturally, would have included as much family as possible. We all have great memories of Gert which will hold us until we meet her again.

The family wish to thank Dr. Mary McCollam, the staff at The Weyburn General Hospital, the Regina General Hospital and Father Gerry Bauche, Father Andrei Kachur as well as Fr. Eusebio Tubale.

Prayers for Gertrude were held on Friday, November 8, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church, Weyburn, SK with Father Gerry Bauche officiating. A Funeral Service was held on Saturday, November 9, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church with Father Andrei Kachur, officiating. Interment followed at Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn, SK.
