Syd will be missed and lovingly remembered by his wife and best friend, LaRae, his daughters Jacquelyn (Steve) and Danielle, son Christopher (Patricia), and grandchildren, Michael, Maya, Justin and Sadie. Syd also leaves behind his siblings Richard (Jennifer), Diane (Neal), Terry, and Nancy (Rick) and many loving nieces, nephews and in-laws. Syd is pre-deceased by his mother, Vivian, father, Sydney, step mother, Kaye, sister-in-law, AJ, and son-in-law, Ken.
Syd's absence will not only be felt by his family but also by two wonderful communities full of friends in Bamfield (BC, Canada) and Barra de Potosi (Gro, Mexico). His quick wit, honesty, generosity of time, hard work and unwavering confidence in who he was is what his relationships were built on. His adventurous spirit and passion for taking the road less travelled will live on in those of us lucky enough to have known and been inspired by him.
A memorial will be held on Saturday, February 8 in West Vancouver and a celebration of life will be held in Bamfield on July 12. Please contact the family for details.
