January 19, 1922 – October 21, 2010
Peacefully in Victoria, at the age of 88 years. Survived by his loving family, wife, Elizabeth of 62 years; son, Edward; daughter, Teresa; daughter-in-law, Jill and grandchildren, Robert and Katie. Born and raised in Victoria, Charles served with the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War and thereafter he worked for 35 years at the Dockyards. Charles was a founding member of the Haida Masonic Lodge, an active member of the YMCA, enjoyed racquetball and the Healthy Heart Group. He loved reading and learning and encouraged his family and others to pursue their education. Charles enjoyed his time at Shannon Oaks after living on the Dallas Road waterfront, where he and Betty spent many happy hours together. The family wish to thank Dr. Miles and Debbie for their care over the years. At Charles’ request, a private family service will be held. Flowers are gratefully declined; tributes, if desired, may be made to the Victoria Hospital Foundation or a charity of one’s choice. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallbros.com

I was saddened to read of Charles’ passing and wish to express my condolences to his family. We were fellow-members in the Healthy Heart Group at the YMCA and shared the vicissitudes occassioned by old age and health problems. We shall miss his irrespressible humour, supportive smile and positive approach to life,
Good-bye, good friend – Albert.
