1935-2026
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Claude Edward on October 27, 2026, at the age of 90. He is predeceased by his loving wife Joan Eileen and survived by his daughter Teresa (Bryan) and son Ted.
Claude was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, on December 27, 1935, to Thomas Claude and Vera Prutton. He later moved with his parents to Victoria, B.C., and then many years later Claude moved to the North and then the Lower Mainland.
Claude was a career banker, and he worked for the Royal Bank for over 30 years.
Claude was known for his love of trains and his model railroad. He loved astronomy and enjoyed looking at the stars and planets with various telescopes he had over the years. Claude also had a passion for classical music. He learned how to play the organ and acquired one of his own. He could always be found playing it during the evenings or on a Sunday afternoon.
In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC and Yukon.
We would like to thank the staff at Carelife Fleetwood, Spruce Unit, as well as Dr. Noon for the care and compassion they showed dad during his time with them.
