In Memory ~
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our dad at the Peace Arch District Hospital on June 27, 2024 just a few short weeks before his 101st birthday.
Born July 19, 1923 in Cardston Alberta, he joined the Army in 1942 as a Corporal and started his career as an Xray Technician and went on to become the Administrator at the Quesnel Hospital and then the Peace Arch District Hospital in White Rock.
He met Eva Bartlett while serving in the Army and they married on December 31, 1945 and together raised a family of ten children.
Dad is pre-deceased by his wife Eva, daughter Wanita, son Ian, his parents Leach and Edith, his brothers Ivan, Ron, Don, Dewey and sister Naida.
Dad is survived by his sister Sheila and children Coleen (Gary), Bryce, Bonnie (Ken), Kerry (Corina), Cheryl, Dana, Gayle (Steve) and Brent (Annette).
Loved by his many nieces and nephews, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren.
Thank you to the Fire Department, Paramedics and PADH Emergency room staff for the care they provided our dad.
We would also like to thank the 4th floor nursing staff at PADH for the care and compassion they provided our dad and family.
And a special thank you to Dr. Volkmar Gaussmann.
