'One of the kindest souls on this planet, Arthur was a gentle man with a spirit for adventure in everything in life - big and small. He faced every challenge in life with admirable strength and courage. He approached every person with curiosity and was able to to see the joy and humour in even what might be seen as the worst moments in life.'

'Bart had a thirst for life, so in his teens he hopped on a train and worked at a logging camp on Vancouver Island before being sent home for being underage. At 18, he joined the navy for a year and then took up various jobs across Canada working for Ontario Hydro, Gulf Oil, Wildwood Surveying in Alberta, and on a survey crew in Thunder Bay. In BC in the 1950's, he surveyed parts of the Coquihalla, Prince George, McBride, and Stewart Cassiar Highways.'

'Colleen was an amazing woman who impacted so many, through her work as a teacher, school administrator and actor with the Heritage Playhouse.'

'Michael left an indelible impression on anyone that he met and was known for his great sense of humour. Always having time for those that he came across, he was well known in the local golf community and the men’s fast pitch league having participated in both to a high level from a young age.'
