Howard Roger Hurt

August 22nd 1937 - October 5th 2012

B.A. B.Ed., B.L.S. Howard passed away at VGH after surviving strokes and a brain aneurysm 15 years ago, only to succumb to complications from prostate surgery and pneumonia. Survived by Penny, his wife of 52 years, sons Keith(Anke) and Doug(Tana), five grandchildren, Daniel, Anita, Terry, Brendan and Tyler, and brother Michael.

Howard was a teacher for five years and Head of the Education Library for thirty years. He survived a stroke during heart surgery, had a pacemeker implanted, and suffered a brain aneurysm in1997 which resulted in his retirement. During the last 15 years, he has suffered increasing dementia and loss of memory. It has been very hard for all of us to see him grow so frail. He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. We will remember all the good years and happy times. No service by request. Cremation. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Heart and Stroke or the Alzheimer's Society would be appreciated.
