Greg passed away on Tuesday June 2, surrounded by family and cared for by the wonderful staff at Lady Minto Hospital on Salt Spring Island.

Greg loved challenges and excelled at everything he did. He was junior engineer on Canada’s first satellite, Assistant Registrar at the University of Victoria, Professor of Philosophy, inventor/patent holder, CEO of a major fitness products company and most recently business manager for Heritage Place for Seniors complex on Salt Spring Island. Even more impressively, he won the prestigious Father of the Year award 37 years in a row.

In his early 50s he discovered archery, which opened up a new world of friends, travel and excitement for life.

Greg, we will miss laughing with you. You will be deeply missed by your loving wife Lynne, mother Edith, daughter Kristina, son Jonathan (Julie),

grandsons Jeremy and Jason, sister Audrey (Fred) plus Elaine, Angela, Bill, Glenn, Diane and countless others that knew and loved you.

Special thanks to Dr. Ron Reznick for the compassionate and inspiring medical care provided throughout the years, and to Dr. Bob Crossland for the kind support provided to both Greg and family.

September 29, 1929 – May 28, 2009

Marie gracefully submitted to cancer, at home, in the company of those with the good fortune to share her passing.  Beloved wife of Bill for 61 years.  Mother to Steven (Linda), the late Richard, Sherry (Denis) Beech, Leslie (Lynn), Joanne (Craig) Blair, Melba and Elizabeth, 14 grandchildren, Katharine and Amber Scotton, Tracy, Amy, Keleigh and Rick Scotton, Diana, Melanie and Neil Beech, Victoria and Daniel Scotton, Maddie and Paul Mosure, Ryan Peck, 9 great grandchildren Jordon, Brandon, Rory, Summer, Caitlin, Samantha, Tyndle, Paige and Levi.  Big sister to Melba Barrett and Roy Shields. 

Marie and Bill traveled extensively during their married life together, exploring many countries and far corners of the world, allowing them to call such places as Port Hardy, Terrace, Hawaii, Salt Spring Island and Australia home. It was during their time in Australia that Marie first discovered her life long love for China painting, and the friendships that she would make along the way while working with this medium.

Marie began studying China painting in Queensland Australia, later earning her teachers degree. She was a very gifted and talented artist, whose prolific work, and visionary eye for detail earned her many awards and admiration.  

Marie leaves behind a standard of humility and compassion which will be hard to equal.  She is sorely missed.  May the peace she wished for everyone be hers above all. 

In lieu of a formal service, Marie’s family requests that her memory be honoured by way of donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.

A MEMORIAL SERVICE

for John Matheson, who passed away May 22, will be held
