Philip Gordon Welham

October 10, 1928 - October 20, 2025

With heavy hearts and loving remembrance, we

announce the passing of Philip Gordon Welham

shortly after his 97th birthday. He was predeceased

by his wife Joan, parents Herbert and Lydia, siblings

John and Doris, and son-in-law Scott. Philip is

survived by his children, Candice (Bill), Cynthia

(Jim), and Ross (Bernadette), six grandchildren, six

great-grandchildren, and Louise, who has been a

close friend and companion.

Philip was born in Montreal and worked for CIL for

40 years. He transferred to Vancouver in 1970. After

retirement, Philip worked at Bretons in men’s

clothing with longtime friend Richard and worked in

fundraising/daffodil campaign for the Canadian

Cancer Society.

After major heart surgery in 2004, Philip was able to

continue travelling the world. A second heart surgery

at 90 gave him another 7 years. We celebrate a life

well lived.

The family would like to thank the staff at Amica, Dr.

Debra Van Aggelen and Dr. Annie Chou for their care

of our father over the years.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Happy Hearts

Foundation in Vancouver or the Canadian Cancer

Society for the research daffodil campaign/multiple

myeloma are appreciated.

A Memorial Service will be held Friday November 14

at 11:00am at Hollyburn Funeral Home 1807 Marine

Dr, West Vancouver, B.C.
