In loving memory ~
Our beloved husband, dad, grandpa, brother, and friend. Predeceased by his parents, brother Blake, and infant daughter.
Leaves behind wife Naida, brothers Grierson (Ruth) and Launny (Flo), children Andrew (Petra), Nicola (Paul), Julie (Blair), and Alison (Al), stepchildren Jesse (Amy) and Shad, grandchildren Eja, Tau, Kallan, Tanner, and Ani.
He was happiest spending time with loved friends and family, teaching his grandchildren card games, playing golf, sitting at the bridge table, travelling, and enjoying food and wine. He was a kind, generous, thoughtful, and interesting man who always approached life with such zest and good humour and always with a smile in his eyes. His enthusiasm and humour infected all, and it cannot be put into words the love and kindness that was felt by those around him. He leaves the world a better place and will be missed tremendously by everyone who was fortunate enough to know him. Gone far too soon, Berry, Dad, and Grandpa, we love you.
No service by request, in lieu of flowers donations can be made to the BC Lung Foundation or a charity of your choosing.
