Upfront Flower Brigade brightens day of seniors Bouquets delivered to care homes every Wednesday By Mathilda De Villiers mathilda.devilliers@mapleridgenews.com
F
lowers that would otherwise never make it on to someone’s table are now being given as gifts to brighten the days of Maple Ridge seniors. Tanya Sawchuk, of Ridge Meadows Association for Community Living, started a weekly program in which she and a crew of four visit local seniors homes and deliver handmade bouquets to residents. A year ago, Sawchuk decided she wanted to do something extra for her community. Along with working at the non-profit association in Maple Ridge, she is also a registered caregiver for seniors. Through her work, she saw a gap that could be filled with a simple act – delivering flowers. She reached out to Kam’s Market in Maple Ridge and was thrilled when the owners agreed to donate day-old flowers every week, which are then made into bouquets and delivered by what has become known as the ‘Flower Brigade.’ The name came from the recipients, who after some time started remarking: “‘Oh, here comes the flower brigade,’” Sawchuk said. She drives to the market in the mornings with fellow brigade members to collect the donated flowers, usually enough for about 10 to 12 bouquets, which can last up to a week or two. The community living association provides many different services for adults with developmental disabilities, autism and fetal alcohol syndrome, as well as assisting their families. The association delivers the Meals on Wheels program, as well as many other activities and services, in addition to the flowers. Sawchuk put together a crew, all part of the Options Day Program with the association. The brigade spends most of its time Wednesdays making bouquets of beautiful blooms, which include roses, Gerbera daisies and carnations. Sawchuk and her team arrive at the association’s building on 227th Street in the morning to prepare a selection of flowers, then head to the care homes and knock on doors. Brigade members make the bouquets, tying them with white, green or pink ribbon, making sure that the flowers are in good shape for delivery. They choose the seniors who have either recently lost a loved one, don’t have any family or who tend to be lonely. Sawchuk works closely with the seniors and she knows from her work who in particular might be in need. “There’s so many bad things going on, it’s nice to have something that makes people happy,” Sawchuk said. She added that members of the Flower Brigade almost always receive hugs and kisses from tearyeyed residents, grateful for the gesture.

(Clockwise) Tanya Sawchuk makes bouquets from donated flowers with Mitch Aeichele, David Wason, Michelle Gillespie and Paul Anderson; Flowers are donated by Kam’s Market every week; Marje Magowan, always happy to receive her flowers from the Flower Brigade. Marje Magowan, a resident at Revera Sunwood Residence Senior Living Residence, 224th Street, said she “absolutely loves it.” It has also, in turn, made an impact on some of Sawchuk’s fellow bouquet creators. Mitch Aeichele, a brigade member who has been in private care at the same family for the past 30 years, never used to talk much, according to Sawchuk. But since he started delivering flowers, he now says hello to the seniors when handing out the bouquets. When Christa Klemm received her flowers
from brigade member David Wason this week, she welled up and gave him a big hug. She said that the gesture means so much to her that it is hard to describe. Two seniors’ living facilities are visited by the group, Revera Sunwood Senior Living Residence and Greystone Manor, alternately each week. Magowan and other residents have also received art pieces from the members of the Flower Brigade, which now hang in their rooms. Magowan appreciates their efforts. “The flowers are beautiful, but it’s the thought behind it.”

Box of kittens found on median in Hammond Four are a week-old, now at Maple Ridge SPCA branch Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
The Maple Ridge branch of the SPCA is caring for four orphaned kittens found in a closed box on the centre median near Hammond elementary. “The person who found these kittens was waiting for a nearby train to pass and had turned off the engine of his vehicle while he waited,” said SPCA branch manager Krista Shaw. “When the engine was off, he heard the kittens crying in the box and rescued them.” The kittens were found on 113B Avenue. A local vet treated the week-old kittens for fleas and they were warm from being outside in the heat. They are doing well, according to the SPCA. The kittens, three females and a male, are being bottle-fed and have been placed in foster homes in pairs. “Their eyes haven’t opened yet. They are very vocal and like to let us know when they are hungry,” Shaw added. The Maple Ridge SPCA is in need of orphaned kitten nursing bottles, powdered kitten replacement milk, Snuggle Safe heating pads, These week-old kittens were found in a box on a median in Maple Ridge. at shop.spca.bc.ca/ donations towards their recovery and baby eight weeks. • Donations can be made at the branch, products/orphan-kitreceiving blankets.

INFORMED: Be Bear Aware You Can Reduce Human/Animal Interactions This time of year there are all kinds of creatures out and about foraging for food. Racoons, coyotes, cougars and bears are out and about looking for food. As people have pointed out on social media. Some of our new suburban neighbourhoods in the forest interface overlap the territories of the wildlife, and as the creatures at the top of the food chain we have a responsibility to take the steps to reduce human and animal interactions. You can help keep wildlife ‘wild’ by not setting out your garbage, organics or recycling bins early. The City’s ‘Wildlife and Vector Control Bylaw’ states when your bins can go out and when they have to be back in? Here’s the facts. Bylaw No. 7437-2018 states receptacles are to be placed out no earlier than 5:00 am on collection day and are to be removed no later than 7:00 pm on collection day. Fines of $200 may be issued for each occurrence.

ing to try to improve the relationship. Yousef said later he wasn’t disappointed about council’s decision. “There’s still a lot of concern around the community as a result of the comments made by [Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad] West.” West wrote to UBCM this month, voicing his opposition to UBCM allowing the consulate general to host the reception, saying that the Government of China is “engaged in a number of actions that are hostile to our country’s interest and the interests of every Canadian and are completely at odds with our values, the rule of law and the very principles that we are elected to uphold,” West said. He cited the “hostage taking” of two Canadians, Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, following the arrest of Hauwei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver last December for possible extradition to face charges in the U.S. The U.S. Department of Justice laid charges of conspiracy, fraud and obstruction of justice against Meng and Huawei, alleging they misled a bank about Huawei’s ownership of a subsidiary called Skycom in an effort to circumvent U.S. sanctions against Iran.
Defence lawyers for a senior Huawei executive have asked Canada’s foreign affairs minister to stop the extradition process against their client, saying the U.S. request was for political purposes, not legitimate law enforcement reasons. Both Meng and Huawei have denied any wrongdoing. Yousef said he’s lived under authoritarian regimes. “Ultimately, it is the same policy that if you disagree with the government you will face imprisonment and … indoctrination camps. I’ve lived under regimes that do the same kind of conduct to their populations, regardless of the reason, be it religion or ethnicity or otherwise, and it’s just completely unacceptable that this is happening in 2019. “If we are accepting the hospitality of a government who does these things, we’re basically implicit in their conduct in condoning it, to a certain extent, that’s how I personally see it,” Yousef said. Pitt Meadows Mayor Bill Dingwall said he won’t be attending the reception and hasn’t attended in previous years, either. It’s up to each Pitt Meadows councillor to decide if they’ll go to the reception, Dingwall added.

Masse’s concept is that he will front-load establishing a physio and massage therapy clinic in an unused portion of a large local gym with the agreement that the space, which was previously generating no income for the building owner, would be leased out at below market rates to allow new practitioners to get established and provide them with the leverage to re-direct a portion of their earnings to Foundry. Masse, as a health practitioner himself, is aware of the rising health needs and the associated costs and he invested a good portion of his time on council advocating for more progressive approaches to providing health care and models of funding.

However, Masse persevered and eventually city staff started to work with him and assisted in taking down some of the barriers while still retaining the integrity of a proper level of oversight. If this can be done at the local level, it is hopeful that the provincial and federal levels would be able to embrace this type of social entrepreneurship. According to an article on the World Health Organization site, social entrepreneurs can play a big part in a health system ripe for change. Within the article it cites David Bornstein, who wrote: “How to change the world – social entrepreneurs and the power of new ideas,” who says, “What business entre(THE NEWS/files) preneurs are to the economy, social entrepreneurs are to social change.

Thanks to those who helped mother after fall at grocery store’ Editor, thE NEws: I want to thank the wonderful women who helped my mom the other day. We were at Real Canadian Superstore in Pitt Meadows and heading home. My mom, who will be 98 in a month, stopped to purchase a lottery ticket, so I went ahead to the car to unload our groceries. I was only just out the door when a young woman came running out to tell me that my mom had fallen and had a bad gash on her head. I went running back inside to find my mom on the floor and a woman, who had her little boy with her, holding a bloody wad of paper towel to her head. The young woman who had alerted me called 911 for an ambulance and stayed to help with traffic control. I did not get either of these ladies’ names, but I hope they see this and know how grateful we are for all their help. Thanks go as well to the store representative and other staff who stayed with us while we waited for the ambulance. They made sure that customers were diverted to an alternate exit to give the paramedics clear access.

Pitt Meadows senior’s car vandalized for 18 months Retired RCMP officer determined to catch ‘tagger’ Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
Manon Eburne is sick and tired of a vandal writing on her car windows. It has been going on for more than a year and a half. Too often, when she parks in a spot on 119 B Avenue in Pitt Meadows, somebody writes “No Parking” on her window in marker. And not a dry erase one, but in something that requires solvent, such as fingernail polish remover, and “a lot of elbow grease” to remove. She suspects it’s some type of construction crayon. Eburne has volunteered at The Wesbrooke seniors centre for the past five years, and while doing her good deeds is when her vehicle gets “tagged.” The last time was on June 20.
Now the feisty senior, who is a retired Mountie, says she will get her man, or woman. “I’m determined to catch the individual,” she said. “I’m mad. I’m going to catch that person.” Eburne has made certain she is not illegally parked, not relying on her own policing background, but after consulting with the bylaws office. She has been told her parking spot is a legal one. She is also not the only victim. After complaining about the tagging in social media, she found others who have had their vehicles similarly tagged when they park in that spot. To pull in, she drives northbound on 190 A toward The Wesbrooke, makes a right at the roundabout, and facing city hall makes a quick stop on the right-hand side, near the intersection, in the shade of a tree. Neighbours say they have also been tagged there, as well as in other parking spots on the street nearby.
The parking spot is beside an elementary school, but Eburne doesn’t believe kids are responsible. The letters are in cursive writing, which is no longer taught. “Kids don’t write today, they print.” The vandalism only occurs when the weather is sunny or at least fair. Eburne has a lead on who the culprit might be, from a person who lives in the neighbourhood. She has reported the nuisance to the Ridge Meadows RCMP, after several taggings, but only grudgingly. “It’s a very petty crime. But it has been going on for a long time – one-and-a-half years,” she said. “I would like to occupy the police with more serious business.” Eburne wants to catch them in the act, whether by recording them with a camera, through information on social media, or even by stakeout. “I should bring my knitting and just sit there.”

Continued from A1 Scott was sentenced May 9 in New Westminster Supreme Court. In her reasons for sentencing, Madam Justice J. Ker described the circumstances of the Dec. 19, 2015 shooting. She said that Scott was “distraught, jealous and angry” over the loss of his relationship with the woman. Scott had dated the woman two or three times between March and October 2015. The woman had told him she didn’t want to be romantically involved and just wanted to be friends. Bender, though, had only been dating the woman for a few weeks. In her previous reasons for judgment, Ker described arguing and fighting between the two the previous night, with Scott angry over the woman’s relationship with the other man. Scott returned home and tried to go to sleep, but texts from Bender also angered him. According to Ker’s reasons for judgment, early on the morning of Dec. 19, Scott removed a rifle and shotgun from a gun safe in his home, removed the trigger locks, and put the weapons into his car. Scott drove to a location and test fired the rifle, then drove to the woman’s residence. “When he saw Mr. Bender
www.mapleridgenews.com
parked across the street from her residence, he became enraged,” Ker said in her reasons for sentencing. She said Scott then blocked in Bender’s vehicle with his own, took the 12-gauge pump action shotgun from the trunk and shot Bender four times in the head, “killing him instantly.” The justice said mild intoxication, despondency over the relationship and gambling, and being surprised by the presence of Bender explained how the incident happened, but didn’t excuse it. She said that “consistent with the diagnosis of an adjustment disorder and depressed mood, Mr. Scott experienced a disproportionate reaction,” to the events. Bender, 33, a single father of two young girls, was shot in the parking lot of Haney Presbyterian Church on 216th Street, just north of Lougheed Highway. A witness at the time described hearing four or five shots, then seeing a car drive away at normal speed. Ker noted that the minimum mandatory sentence is life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 10 years. She ruled that Scott should serve 14 years in jail before being considered for parole, and that the aggravating factors involved a firearm and a domestic relationship. The justice noted that Scott
never denied responsibility for the “horrific and tragic offence,” and that he didn’t have a criminal record. Scott also turned himself in to authorities two months later. But she accepted that Scott was distraught over a gambling problem and feelings of rejection from the woman who was dating Bender, who was 29 at the time. She also noted that Scott had been in a “significant” motor vehicle accident in 2012, and that he suffered ongoing pain and couldn’t work for more than a year. She noted further that when he was about three years old, he said asthma medication put him into rages. The justice noted, as well, that 13 people provided letters for Scott, saying that the offence was completely out of character. “They support him and will continue to support him as he serves his sentence and eventually re-transitions into the community.” Ker, though, said “the most concerning aspect of Mr. Scott’s background and character is his inability to form healthy relationships with women. More specifically, his inability to respect boundaries and to accept rejection. Mr. Scott’s … inability to accept that she only wanted a platonic relationship with him is a troubling feature of his personality.”

Permanent daylight saving time suits farmer B.C. government asking for public feedback about changing the clock Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
Permanent daylight saving time suits Bob Hopcott fine. And the government wants to hear from him, as it considers changing how time is observed in B.C. The Pitt Meadows farmer is well known for Hopcott Meats, but he is diversified with 75 acres of cranberries in addition to almost 200 acres of field corn. Like all farmers, he needs to “make hay” while the sun shines. “Most farmers like it right where it is right now [daylight saving time],” he said. British Columbians are invited to share their views on daylight saving time. Most areas of B.C. “spring forward” into daylight saving time during summer months, and “fall back” to standard time in the winter. The government is considering no longer doing the fall-back. “As our neighbours in the western United States move toward permanent daylight saving time, it’s a good time to think about what will work best for British Columbia,” Premier John Horgan said in a release. “I invite people to consider our options and take part in an online survey that will help us decide whether to leave things as they are
(Neil Corbett/THE NEWS)
The agricultural community might appreciate daylight savings time permanently in B.C. or if it’s time to make a change.” Legislators in California, Oregon and Washington have proposed bills to end the bi-annual time change and observe daylight saving time year-round.
Hopcott is on Pitt Meadows’ agricultural advisory committee and expects that the group will discuss the government’s proposed changes and make a submission. He said other farmers might have different ideas.
“Dairy farmers are up so early in the morning – 3 or 4 a.m., milking – that it might not matter.” But in general, Hopcott believes daylight saving time is better for anyone working outside – from farmers to construction workers – to make the best use of natural light. The government’s online survey will be available until July 19. The survey website has background information and the impact of various options, such as changes to the timings of sunrise and sunset at different times of year. The survey takes approximately five minutes to complete. In addition to the online survey, organizations and individuals are invited to provide written submissions about time observance, which affects many key B.C. industries, such as agriculture and transportation. “I know many people will have strong preferences on this complex question, and this is an opportunity to express them and help government decide our next steps,” Horgan said. “As we monitor what’s happening in other jurisdictions, I look forward to input from British Columbians on how to set our clocks throughout the year.” Individuals may complete the online survey. Experts and organizations may provide formal submissions via email to citizenengagement@gov.bc.ca. A final decision is expected to be announced in the fall of 2019. • Learn more about daylight saving time and complete the survey at engage.gov.bc.ca/daylightsavingtime/

‘Fair sentence’ Continued from A1 He was sentenced Thursday in Port Coquitlam provincial court. Lowe was given five years for impaired driving causing death and one year for impaired driving causing bodily harm, as well as three more for leaving the scene of an accident and public mischief. Justice Patricia Janzen, however, speaking barely audibly, reduced the total sentence to 6.5 years, noting that Lowe had excellent prospects for rehabilitation. An eight-year driving prohibition was also ordered.
“It’s a fair sentence for what it is, but nothing justifies losing your mother,” son Jesse Woycheshen said outside the provincial courthouse after the sentencing. The case has affected the whole family, added brother Rob Jeglum, who said he worries about future accidents. “It’s always going through your brain after been through something like this.” Asked what he misses most about his mom, Rob said her laugh. “Her laugh was one of a kind,” he said. Someone else said she’d ask her sons, “What’s wrong with
you? “But no matter what you did, my mom was always behind us,” Rob added. Laura’s brother, Brent Jeglum, said: “At the end, he’ll [Lowe] get to see his family again, and for us, we never will.” Lowe, from Chilliwack and born in 1984, initially faced eight charges. He pleaded guilty to the four counts. Jeglum-Woycheshen was travelling westbound on the road at the time of the collision, just before 9 p.m. Two other people, also on motorcycles were seriously injured, but survived. Court heard they have not
been on a motorcycle since. In sentencing, Janzen said that Lowe had “drank steadily for many hours” in a Port Coquitlam bar and that witnesses said he was driving erratically with blown tires and veering into the oncoming lane. “This was not a
[case] of a small mistake with horrific consequences,” she said. Court heard he was going through family problems and had recently separated from his wife. “He’s not a hardened criminal … but a good man who made a terrible mistake,” Janzen said.

She said that Lowe had an “exceptionally difficult childhood. “Substance abuse has always been a part of his life.” Character letters were also submitted in support of Lowe. However, the judge noted the 12 impact statements that detailed how the loss of
Woycheshen affected them. The letters are “full of pain and grief of losing Laura,” said the judge. A five-month investigation led officers across multiple jurisdictions, including Maple Ridge, Mission and Chilliwack. Rob Jeglum said
previously the case has prolonged the suffering for the family, members of which are trying to go through the grieving process. He also said that his mom was “a very loving person,” who loved riding her motorcycle and was known for bringing the family together.

Tapping into what’s wrong with the world I didn’t know how to be an activist before I got Twitter. Social media gave me a platform not only to help me discuss issues about which I am passionate, but also to discover other issues that I
thought people need to know about. This is the case for many teenagers – social media brings exposure to diverse issues from across the globe, and it can be hard to figure out how to be an activist for
everything that’s wrong with the world (spoiler alert: it’s a lot). On platforms such as Instagram and Twitter, many people try to spread awareness to change the way things are. For example, Swed-
ish 15-year-old teenager Greta Thunberg has dedicated herself to fighting climate change, becoming a champion for the environment. She uses social media to spread awareness about environmental issues.
However, empty post-sharing won’t stop the ice caps from melting – that’s why Thunberg also began protesting, while suggesting ways of making positive changes that could help the environment. Climate change is an issue that affects everyone, every day, whether they realize it or not, and it makes sense to focus on such a universal issue. However, it can be more difficult to spread awareness or to raise support for charities involving issues that are perhaps not quite as widespread. For example, many posts are circulating Instagram and Twitter right now about the conflict in Sudan. It’s hard to look at an issue that is so far from our town, to see such suffering, and not feel helpless. Unlike climate change, small actions like turning off the heat, or bringing a recyclable cup to a café aren’t going to help the people struggling there.
However, it’s spread exterstill importnally. ant to raise It is posawa re n e s s sible to help about the people in those counconflict, even though it’s so tries – by far away. making donations to The SudaU N I C E F, nese governDoctors ment has cut Without off its citi- Being Young B o rd e r s, zens’ access Marlowe Evans to the Interand the Red net.

In some cases, issues and conflicts in this can be legitimate. However, Instagram, these types of situations, the awareness has to be where such posts ap-
pear most frequently, does not give money to content creators, no matter how many likes, shares, or views their videos receive. There’s nothing wrong with simply raising awareness. Not everyone is able to donate time or money directly to a cause, and the more people who are aware of an issue, the easier it becomes to resolve. However, when it comes to social media, it pays to make sure that awareness has the ability to effect meaningful change. The next time you share a post about an issue, try putting the link to a reputable charity’s donation page in your bio. Young people are always change-bringers. It’s part of growing up. Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook – let social media be your sword. Champion your causes well. Marlowe Evans is a student at the University of New Brunswick from Maple Ridge who writes about youth issues.

Burrards drop fourth straight game Talented roster needs to find chemistry says coach Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
After starting the season with a sterling 6-1 record, the Maple Ridge Burrards have dropped their last four games in the Western Lacrosse Association. The latest loss was Tuesday night in Burnaby, where they lost to the Lakers by a score of 8-4. That followed a 10-9 loss to the New Westminster Salmonbellies on Sunday in Maple Ridge, and an 11-6 loss to the Timbermen on Saturday in Nanaimo. In four days, the perception of the Burrards as the team to beat has changed. “We need to get it together and get into the playoffs,” said head coach Rob Williams. “It’s time to pick it up, but it’s not time to panic, by any means.” Ben Fontaine and Mason Louie, seen here at ball hockey nationals last August, are in Prague with the Canada West under16 team. Contributed
The club has not had key players in the lineup. They have added star power with bigname acquisitions, but the group has not had a lot of practise together, and has not yet gelled. Williams himself was a latecomer to the group, having had a long run with the coaching staff of the NLL Calgary Roughnecks, as they won a league championship. He was not around the team much in the early part of the season. Even such a highly talented group has to develop chemistry, with guys falling into their roles. Williams puts the job of righting this team on the coaching staff – he and assistants Rob Dalzell and Chris Gill. “It’s not as easy as it would seem, putting it together,” he said. Ben McIntosh got into his first game of the season on Tuesday, and had just an assist to show for 11 shots. Mike Mallory scored twice, and Colton Porter and Matthew
Dinsdale. On Sunday, the Salmonbellies stormed back from a 4-1 first-period to deficit to win a 10-9 game. New Burrard Wes Berg, playing in just his second game after coming in a trade from the Coquitlam Adanacs, had three goals in the first period, and added three assists to lead the team with six points. He has 11 points in three games with Ridge. Riley Loewen had three goals and five points, and Mallory had two goals and two assists. On Saturday in Nanaimo the Burrards gave up 60 shots in a losing effort. Jeff Shattler had a goal and three assists, Berg had four helpers and Ryan Keenan two goals and an assist. Newly acquired goaltender Christian Del Bianco has yet to win in three starts as a Burrard, allowing 28 goals and posting a save percentage of 0.813. Williams said Del Bianco has had to

outstanding saves. Some of the saves he’s made would be automatic goals on some goalies.”
The Burrards have now fallen to second place in the WLA standings, but have played the most
games in the league and could be passed by teams with more games to come. • The Burrards next
home game will be on July 2 when they host the Langley Thunder at Cam Neely Arena, at 7:30 p.m.
Playing in Prague with Junior Team Canada Ball hockey players from Ridge Meadows Association Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
Two Maple Ridge ball hockey players are part of the Junior Team Canada program. Mason Louie and Ben Fontaine are both with the under-16 Team Canada West squad, after having been scouted at the Junior Nationals in Fredericton, NB last August. They are in Prague, Czech Republic competing in the U16 World Cup. Canada West scored in the last two minutes
of their opening game to beat Slovakia 3-2 on Wednesday. “It was a really good game, boys were shooting a lot,” said Paul Kastes coach of Canada West. “They put huge pressure on the opponent. Our goaltender played very well, so thanks to him it is 3-2 for us.” The players from the Ridge Meadows Minor Ball Hockey Association were chosen by a team of eight scouts and evaluators. Louie was the youngest player at the national event, and received the tournament MVP award for defencemen. He is again the youngest player on the team in Prague, and also made the under-15 Team B.C. Wolverines which will host nationals this July in Coquitlam and Burnaby.

TALKING ABOUT CANNABIS CAN GO MANY WAYS
The North Fraser Therapeutic Riding Association hosted a yearly competition that all its participants look forward to, and serves as the club’s main fundraiser for the year. The Open Benefit Show was held on Saturday and Sunday at the Maple Ridge Equi-Sports Centre. “This show serves as the biggest annual fundraiser for NFTRA, support-
ing our therapeutic riding program,” said spokesperson Emily Felgnar. “It is also unique in that it provides riders with disabilities the chance to be integrated into a typical horse show event.” “They practice all year, leading up to this.” There were 46 riders, including 11 from the association. They competed on a unique obstacle course, in a test of horsemanship called equitation,
and in dressage. The event raised $11,000 for the Maple Ridge-based not-for-profit association. It aims to enrich the lives of children and adults with physical, mental, emotional or social challenges through therapeutic equine programming. It has operated in the city for more than 40 years, serving people from West Vancouver to Mission. It has an annual operating budget of $330,000.

Grandchildren: Duncan (Daylce), Kevin (Trish), Caely-Ann (Mohamed), Kevin, Craig, Corey and Chelsea. Great Grandchildren: Anders , Anja , Toryn , Tyler (Jasmine), Ryley, Savannah and Maddox. Bob was born in Edmonton Alberta in 1930. At a young age his family moved to the Kootenays BC living in Sheep Creek, Trail and Nelson. Nelson is where Bob and Shirley married and started their family. After moves to Burnaby, Haney and Kelowna they settled in Haney (Maple Ridge) for good in 1961. Here they raised their family and made lifelong friends and memories. Bob competed in many sports and from those acquired a few nicknames. Baseball (Sniff) and curling (Boomer). He also loved the poems by Robert Service. “There’s a land where the mountains are nameless, And the rivers all run God knows where; There are lives that are erring and aimless, And deaths that just hang by a hair; There are hardships that nobody reckons; There are valleys unpeopled and still; There’s a land – oh, it beckons and beckons, And I want to go back and I will.� Rest in Peace Dad until we meet again.
