Dad came to Sooke with his young bride Lynn in 1954 and lived for almost 40 years on Otter Point Road. Mom was the fun and noise - the energy, and Dad was the quiet substance - strong and steady. Together they provided a loving, welcoming home for their children, many friends and extended family. A memorial service celebrating a life well lived and a man well-loved will be held at the Sooke Royal Canadian Legion, 6726 Eustace Road at 1pm on
