Kaye Philip Bell

It is with a heavy heart that the family of Kaye Phillip Bell announces the passing of their beloved husband, father and grandfather. Kaye passed away December 24, 2011 in his 75th year. Survived by his

loving wife Coleen of 49 years, daughter Cathy (Mike), two grandsons Colin Pacholuk (Cindy) and Darcy Elliott (Jess), one great-granddaughter Margaret Pacholuk, brother Jim (Gerry), sister Sharon (Nick), Joyce, sister-in-law Kathleen, brother-in-law Owen, and many nieces and nephews and special friends Claude Parnell and Ed Everts as well as many other friends and relations. Predeceased by his mother and father.

Kaye was a fisherman for 16 years, starting when he was 16 years old, then started long-shoring when the I.L.W.U. took over the Stuart Channel Wharves. He worked the docks until his retirement 30 years later.

He will be remembered for his sense of humour, his happy smiling face and his quiet devotion to his family. Kaye's family wish to thank the nurses on the 3rd floor at the Cowichan District Hospital for their care. A very special thanks to the ICU nurses and doctors for their care, kindness and compassion.

There will be no service by request. In lieu of flowers please donate, in Kaye's name, to a charity of your choice.
