Our brave and gentle patriarch is gone. Dad (Grandad, Dit-Dit) passed away September 5, 2016, at the age of 95. Dad was born in Wales and immigrated to Canada as a toddler. Raised as a farm-boy in Ontario, he joined the RCAF on his 18th birthday serving overseas in WWII where he met and married Helen. Dad was always a proud member of the Legion.
He was predeceased by his devoted wife, Helen; son, David; daughter, Linda and grandson, Andrew. He leaves his son, Jim (Penny); daughter, Anne (John); grandchildren, Colleen, Ben, Dan, Matt, Helen, Mary and George and great-grandchildren, Gina, Naomi, Patrick, Claire, Rose, Isaac and Valerie.
Thanks to Victoria Hospice and the good people at the Renaissance, particularly Sharon, Jane and Dan.
No service by request.

Maureen My thoughts are with your family. Sometimes losses come just too close together. I still think of your mom every day. Her smile was much like your grandpa’s
We have fond memories of Helen & Ron Parker. My kids delivered the paper to them for many years and while walking our many dogs throughout the years, we would stop and have a chat with Ron & Helen if they were out in their yard working. Such a friendly couple who radiated the meaning of a “good neighbor”. Ron is now at peace with his beloved Helen.
God Bless you all,
