Valentine Mayer passed away on Sunday, February 9, 2020 in Calgary, Alberta at the age of 85 years. He was born in Edmonton, Alberta on November 2, 1934.
Despite having cerebral palsy since birth and not being expected to live past his teen years, he lived a full and busy life, driving logging trucks and other haulers. In his career he drove over 10 million miles. He volunteered for 15 years with the Golden Age Club and was active with the Salvation Army Church. He travelled around Canada and went to Israel in the 70’s.
Declining health compelled him to move into Clifton Manor between 12 and 14 years ago. Val’s motorized scooter allowed him the independence to travel the city buses and around his neighbourhood.
Although a stroke several years ago affected his speech and mobility he remained cheerful and was well liked at the Clifton Manor.
Val is survived by two nieces, a nephew and several cousins.
At Val’s request a Memorial Service will be held at Clifton Manor, 4726 8 Ave SE, Calgary, Alberta on Thursday, February 20, 2020 at 11:00 a.m.
