BUGBY, Art. It is with sadness and remembrance we announce the passing of Arthur (Art) Bugby. February 6, 1916 - December 20, 2012. Art passed away peacefully after a long healthy and prosperous life with his loving wife Laverne and sons Rick and Barry. Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba and since 1967 a resident of White Rock, Art had a long and successful career in the construction business focusing largely on schools and churches. In White Rock, he ended up building homes for anyone he knew moving to area from Winnipeg and a couple apartment buildings he was always proud of. Art was an avid singer, starting with church choir and Barbershop Quartet activities in the early days and in later life the White Rock United Church choir and most recently the Kent Street Choir. Art was a veteran of WW II serving as a carpenter at the St. John's dry-dock, repairing damaged warships during the Battle of the Atlantic. He was also active in the Shriners, playing the clown often in various parades & going to places like the children's hospital. A celebration of Art's life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Peace Arch Hospital if you so wish.
