Ferd passed away peacefully surrounded by his family’s love on Christmas Day at the age of 75. He leaves behind Arlene, his wife and best friend for 55 years; daughter, Laurel; son, Jeff (Kathy); grandchildren, Raven, Jasmine, Ashlee and Brier. Ferd will also be missed dearly by his large extended family in Saskatchewan.
As a young man, Ferd left Saskatchewan and served in the Navy. While in Victoria, he met the love of his life and settled there to marry and raise a family. He later joined Palm Dairies (Island Farms) of which he worked for 35 years. Ferd was a hard-working man with an incredible work ethic of which he passed on to his children.
An avid walker and golfer, Ferd’s brightest days were spent on the golf course. He had a quiet strength, and a generous, feisty spirit. Ferd was a good man who had an enormous amount of love to give and life yet to live.
Special thanks to Dr. Steve McKenzie for his compassionate care and the nursing staff of 3N.
The family welcomes you to drop in any time between 3-6 for an informal celebration of Ferd’s life on Saturday, January 7, 2017 at the Royal Canadian Legion, 780 Summit Avenue.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.
