May 15, 1934 - September 18, 2008

Born May 15, 1934 in Nelson, B.C. Died peacefully at home in Qualicum Beach on September 18th, 2008 after a 2 year battle with cancer. Survived by his wife of 49 years, June.

Dad started delivering groceries for Salmo Overwaitea on his bike at age 14. He worked his way up to manager and managed stores in Kaslo, Golden, Parksville and French Creek.

He was a member of the volunteer fire departments in Kaslo, Golden and Parksville. His passion was the outdoors either hunting, fishing or hiking. He also enjoyed bowling at Sunset Lanes, curling and the odd game of horseshoes. After retiring he very much enjoyed working on the “farm” and winter holidays on the island of Maui.

Many thanks to Dr. John Brighton and the Home Care staff and nurses.
