He retired as Assistant Superintendent of the Delta School District, later settling on Salt Spring Island from 1996 to 2016, before moving to Victoria, where he cherished the view of the ocean.
He was a true gentleman—kind, thoughtful, and dedicated to making the world a better place.
He will be deeply missed.
As per his wishes, no formal funeral service will be held.
A private family gathering will take place when his ashes are interred.

Your Dad was indeed a true, kind gentleman and I’m so grateful for the friendship our families shared from when we were little. Sending you all deepest condolences and know he is with you always.
