We are so sad to announce the passing of our parents, Dale and Janie. Married

for 68 years, they had a full and rewarding life. They are survived by their 3

children Michael (Kelly), Mark (Mara) and Mary Catherine (Scott). They were

especially proud of their 7 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.

Dale was born in Oxford, Nova Scotia, the youngest of 6 children. After finishing

high school, he joined the RCMP and ultimately had a long career in the financial

industry. After stops in Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec, the

family settled in North Vancouver. There, he and Janie enjoyed a wonderful 52

years watching their family grow.

Janie was born in London, Ontario, older sister to her brother John. Sadly, they

lost their father at a very young age and Janie learned to be self dependent as a

young child. Her family was always her main priority. She was a wonderful

mother and wife.

Dale and Janie loved their home, their garden, their Koi pond and their family.

There were many gatherings at 1063 over the years celebrating birthdays,

anniversaries and holidays. They were caring and generous and will be missed

by all who knew them. They felt very lucky to be surrounded by caring

neighbours who were extremely helpful to them in their later years.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Lion's Gate Hospital for the care

they were provided in the last few years of their life. They were both very grateful

and felt privileged to be cared for so well.

At their request, there will no service. In lieu of flowers, please consider a

donation to Lion's Gate Hospital foundation or the SPCA.
