He is predeceased by his father Eddie (1986) and mother Marion (2018). Survived by his wife of 54 years, Elizabeth; 3 daughters, Maryanne, Kelsey and Julie; 8 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren; brothers, Barry and Glen, and sister Donna, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was born and raised in North Vancouver and spent his life involved in many aspects of the community here. From his connection to the Burdett Beavers growing up, to a lifetime of curling, golfing, softball, photography and walking the trails, he loved life and the North Shore. He was heavily involved in the Lynn Valley and Seymour Lions Clubs and was always an active member of his Lynnmour neighbourhood. He spent his retirement years avidly golfing, both here and with friends in Kihei, Maui. He walked the trails with his friend, Shorty, almost every day.
He was an easy man to love, gracious and kind, with a quick wit and a great laugh. He will be missed by us all.
A Service will be held at Boal Chapel on Wednesday, April 20th at 2:00pm. Please RSVP to [email protected] . Come in tropical theme attire or wear a golf shirt in the spirit of the season.
