With heartfelt emotion we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved Dad Maurice (GG), after a long, healthy and active life.

He is predeceased by his loving wife Margaret and his son Charlie (Lori).

Survived by his daughters Karen (Ross) and Sandy (Ross), sisters Jocelyn (Jim) and Dolores (Wally), 5 grandchildren: Kaylie (Elin), Dan (Jenn), Sean (Laura), Oliver (Laura) and Eric (Kiana) and his 8 great grandchildren: Zach, Nate, Jamie, Madi, Lucy, Ryan, Beverly& Elena.

Dad was born in Vancouver and raised in Cloverdale, BC. He worked several gardening jobs in his youth and enrolled in Agriculture at UBC. After first year he elected to complete university with a civil engineering degree. Upon meeting the love of his life, Mom and Dad soon tied the knot and his career with the BC Dept of Highways brought them and their young family to settle in Victoria. Dad’s engineering career spanned 4 decades, starting as a surveyor in the Cariboo and Sunshine Coast, progressing to District Engineer in the Lower Mainland and then on to Victoria as the Senior Highway Design Engineer in the Design and Surveys Branch. He had a great eye for detail and provided oversight/review on many of the major highway projects in BC in the 60s, 70s and early 80s. He was also instrumental in the late 50s designs of Highway 1(401) and Highway 99 (499) in the Lower Mainland. After retirement Mom and Dad had many years of adventure and travel together taking in the sights of numerous parts of the world. Dad was an avid curler, golfer and vegetable gardener. He began hiking after retiring from his engineering career and continued his hikes right into his 90s. He was also a very savvy stock trader and investor and it kept his mind sharp as he followed world events and trends well into his mid-90s.

Dad passed away peacefully at home on December 4, 2023. His gentle and caring nature will be missed but he will live on forever in the hearts of his family.

A Celebration of His Life will be held on Feb 3, 2024, 1:30-4:30 at the home of Karen and Ross, 812 Seamist Place.
