Some people truly do sparkle! I had the pleasure of working with Clive from 2001 to 2003. He had a way of teaching with a smile and a story.
He will be missed.
Our deepest condolences to Jane and family. Clive brightened every workday with his smiles and positive outlook, and of course his many puns! We will always remember time spent at lunches and walks around the building, and conversations of many, many topics – tomatoes, cycling experiences, adventures growing up, just to name a few. Our fondest regards! Dave & Sue Bantroch
I had the chance to get to know Clive in 2008 during our fist business meeting at Vifor Pharma. From the first moment it was clear that Clive was unique. I appreciated his special spirit and sensitivity. Besides the hard work, we could enjoy some great team-events in Switzerland and later on, we still kept in touch.
I never met his family, but I know that you meant a lot to him.
What a loss – how sad.
My sincere condolences
I have very fond memories of Clive. Such a gentleman and wonderful colleague – always welcoming, cheerful and dependable. Many a dreary meeting has been lighten by his quick wit and pun.
We frequently exchanged news about families and I know he was very proud about his family.
My deepest condolences to Jane and the family.
I first met Clive in 2001. He was working at a pharma company in Burnaby and commuting each day from the Island. This required very early starts, cycling to the ferry and then picking up a car on the other side. And he did this for years! I had the pleasure of working with Clive until 2020, and was fortunate enough to stay in contact with him once he’d retired. I’ve lost count of all the eye rolls he caused us and the many adventures we had as we travelled together. He was a very special person and will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences go to the entire family and our thoughts are with you at this very difficult time.
Dear Jane,
Our sincere condolences to the sudden loss of your husband.
We will miss his friendly smiles in our neighbourhood.

I had the pleasure of working with Clive since 2006. I’ll always remember him for his wonderful/terrible puns.
My sincere condolences to your family.
Condolences to Jane and the family. Clive was a wonderful colleague to work with, always willing to help, to mentor and to share a pun. His positive attitude and gentle demeanorase him very special. He will be missed
More than twenty years ago, Clive helped more than a dozen stressed and beleaguered Greater Victoria families to secure much-needed respite care for their special-needs children. His efforts led to the founding of Children’s Respite Support Society and MiMi’s House in Saanich, and he remained a Director of the Society up to his passing. His keen intelligence, gentle humor, wit and wisdom, along with his ready willingness to fight the good fight for a just cause are irreplaceable and will be sorely missed by the CRSS Directors and the MiMi’s House families.

My sincere condolences to Jane and the family at this very sad time. Cherish the many precious memories you have made with this wonderful husband, father and grandfather.
Clive was always present at the major events in Taylin’s life. He cheered at every sporting event and took some amazing photos of the action on the field!!
He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting him. Sending warm hugs and much love.
