Less than two weeks later, October 25, the Federation was again shaken when word got out that a double murder had taken place. John Napier (75) was attacked in the supposed safety of his Milliken Estate yard. Reports suggest that Jadell Browne borrowed a machete from Napier and chopped him in the head. Shortly thereafter, he turned his focus to Wilfred Simmonds before launching an attack on Sylvester Harris. He was stabbed multiple times in the back, head and neck. Napier was pronounced dead on the scene while Simmonds and Harris were transported to the JNF General Hospital where Harris succumbed to his injuries.

In spite of his brave battle, cancer has taken our beloved Bob. We will miss his quiet strength, ready wit and strong sense of fun.
bob was born to Anne and Les Webb in Davidson, Sask. Bob's only sibling was his beloved big brother, Jim.

As one of the first biologists with Alberta Fish and Wildlife, Bob developed a love of the land and formed many lifelong friendships. He was instrumental in developing early wildlife management programs.
Moving with the family to Manitoba, he became Chief of Game and Fur Management.
Bob embarked on the next phase of his career - environmental consulting - in the early 1970s. He founded his own successful company with offices in Richmond and Calgary, mainly conducting environmental impact assessments for the oil and gas industry.
Bob was known to all as a valued family man, friend, biologist, fisherman, hunter, curler, pilgrim, gardener, mentor - all around great guy.
Bob and Orma travelled to many parts of the world, including a Mediterranean cruise last May.
