Survived by her daughters, Elaine Ney (Hugh), Courtenay and Peggy Mitchell, Cranbrook, six granddaughters and six grandsons of whom she was very proud, and seventeen (another expected) cherished great grandchildren. Also survived by son-in-law Wayne Emde, Vernon, special niece Joyce Khatcherian, Comox, three other nieces, one nephew and cousin Barbara Henderson, Victoria. Predeceased by her dear Bill (1987), middle daughter Joan Emde (2005), three sisters; Anne Salmond, Edna Parks, Dorothy Wilkie and their husbands and niece Joan Irving (2004). <br> <br>Florence was the second of four daughters born to Edward and Margaret (Wilson) Troughton, Lumsden, Saskatchewan in the lovely Qu’Appelle Valley, which she talked about to the end. She graduated from Regina General Hospital as an RN in 1935, at the top of her class, winning several awards. A scholarship took her to McGill University for Teaching and Administration and then back to RGH as head of the Nursing School until her marriage in 1940. Mum and Dad lived in Regina and Winnipeg before being transferred to Victoria in 1960, a very happy move as it allowed them to retire there. After 47 years in the city she loved, Florence moved to another beautiful valley to be closer to family, leaving behind many dear friends, her Bridge games and the Dutch Bakery! Our mum was a warm, gracious, dignified lady, always impeccably dressed. Her mother gave her the nickname “fussy Florence” because of her attention to all the little details of life. We will miss her dearly and remember her for many things, especially her gentleness, her knitting and her shortbread. None of us can quite duplicate it! <br> <br> A Service of Remembrance and Celebration of Florence’s life will take place later, in the Spring, in Victoria where she will rest next to her beloved husband. Details to follow, closer to the date. If so desired, donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association, Comox Valley Branch, PO Box 3256, Courtenay, B.C. V9N 5N4 or the Salvation Army Corps, 1580 Fitzgerald Ave., Courtenay, B.C. V9N 2S2 would be appreciated, in lieu of flowers. The family would like to express appreciation and thanks to the owner and staff of Cummings Home for their TLC to Mum for the last three years. 		</div> 		<div style=\"background-color: #eee; font-size: 0.6em; padding: 4px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; height: 1.4em;\"> 			<div style=\"float: left;\"> 			<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #006;\">Wallace, Gertrude May </span> <span style=\"color: #bb0000;\">Saturday, 30 Jan 2010</span> 			</div> 			<div style=\"float: right;\"> 			Comox Valley Record Courtenay, BC 			</div> 		</div> 		<div style=\"font-size: 0.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; min-height:110px;\"> 			WALLACE, Gertrude May nee McIntosh <br>June 29, 1925 ~ January 30, 2010 <br> <br>Mom passed away peacefully at St. Joseph\'s Hospital with all her family by her side.

Bud fought a valiant battle with cancer. <br> <br>Bud leaves behind his treasured daughter, Cindy May Wingert (nee Morgan), his daughter Connie Danniels (Peter) and grandson Travis, and his son Michael Morgan. He is also mourned by his many grandchildren who he loved so very much - James Wingert (Tillicum), Amanda Agnew (Jackson), Samantha Agnew (Steve), Melissa Agnew (Fadi), Sarah Agnew, Emma Agnew and Alexander Agnew. His precious great-grand daughter, Hannah Agnew, is also left to miss her great - grandpa. <br>Bud will be forever missed by his sisters Deanna (Mel), Sharon, and Doris (Ray) and dear friend  & brother Bob Nutter. Bud leaves behind so very many dearly loved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews and numerous friends. <br> <br>Bud was born on December 24, 1933, in Wistaria, BC to Jim and Connie Morgan. He grew up in the Ootsa Lake region of BC and was very proud of his heritage. In his early years, he was a surveyor, logger and trapper. He had a great respect and love for his natural surroundings. <br> <br>Bud joined the armed forces at the age of 20 and was a radar technician for the air force. He married Hilda Stevenson Forbes in September 1956 in Ottawa, Ontario. Bud and Hilda were posted overseas and travelled to many countries, including Germany, Spain and France, where son Michael and daughter Connie were born. Bud and Hilda were stationed back in Canada when daughter Cindy was born in Trenton, Ontario in 1961.  Various other postings included Yorkton, Saskatchewan; Gypsumville, Manitoba; North Bay, Ontario and Holberg, BC - the favourite base of the Morgan family. <br> <br>Dad was an avid outdoorsman whose love of hunting and fishing was evident to all who met him. He was a sports fan also, who never let go of the dream of the Canucks winning the Cup. Dad was always active in outdoor activities - horseback riding; curling; street hockey; playing ice hockey on the frozen outdoor rink in North Bay and many games of football with the kids on Macintyre Street - but Dad also loved indoor sports, such as badminton; floor hockey (coaching the kids in Holberg); carpet bowling in later years. <br> <br>Bud retired from the air force after 27 proud years of service.  He moved to Union Bay, BC with wife Hilda and became a commercial fisherman. He started this new chapter of his life in his trawler - the Esquire.   <br> <br>Sadly, Bud and Hilda divorced in 1984. Dad continued to fish for many years and settled in Courtenay, BC. He became very active in the Reform party (now the Conservatives) and was a respected member who worked diligently as he strongly believed in the party policies. He accomplished a great deal with his energetic \"door knocking\" and campaigning. <br> <br>Dad was also a member of the Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club where his natural talent earned him many awards. <br>He was a very kind, thoughtful man with a wonderful sense of humour and a keen wit. His intelligence and knowledge were appreciated by all who had the good fortune to meet him. Dad was very gracious and met all the challenges of his life with such great dignity.  He was admired by many people yet he was humble about his accomplishments. <br> <br>He was a proud independent man and so supportive to all his friends and family. When you had a problem, you knew Bud was the man to go to - he would be there for you and give you excellent advice and a comforting hug.  <br> <br>Dad\'s love for his family will be felt forever; we know that he is with us always. His many friends are deeply saddened by their loss. Dad loved life and lived it with joy and energy. He travelled to many parts of the world while in the forces and after his retirement from his second career of fishing. <br> <br>I wish I could list all who loved him and will miss him - his  <br>many relatives and friends - but you all know who you are and that Dad returned your love and respect. <br> <br>Dad spent the last two months of his life with daughter Cindy and her family at her home in Campbell River, BC. His sense of humour and his spirit never waned; we spent many quality hours together and every moment will be treasured forever. Dad never gave in to his illness - in these special last months he enjoyed many moments with us: marathon Monopoly games with Alex; a Beatles Rock Band concert with Cindy, Melissa, Sarah and Emma; many spirited conversations with Samantha and Steve and Melissa and Fadi; Trivial Pursuit with Cindy and Tami; Outburst with Cindy, Melissa and Emma; Christmas with Melinda and the family; countless visits with Tami; and many wonderful visits with his friends and phone conversations with his family.  He made us laugh; he taught us about our family history of which he was so proud; he imparted his wisdom and let us know how very proud he was of all of us. <br> <br>Dad left this world as he lived it - with grace, dignity and peace. All of us who knew Bud are left with a deep sense of loss but also such gratitude that he was a part of our lives. <br> <br>Bud Morgan was a truly remarkable individual - he left us all better people for having known him. <br>Dad - as I told you countless times throughout my life - I am so very blessed to have you as my dad and I will miss  you forever. And you know how your grandchildren feel about you - such a special grandpa - from dressing Barbies and having scrunchies in your hair from your grand daughters to playing hockey and basketball with your grandsons - and peek-a-boo with your great granddaughter! <br> <br>I know you\'re saying \"Okay, Cindy, enough - go get some rest\" and also that you are \"delighted\" watching us continue to live our lives with our memories of you making us laugh and be joyful. <br> <br>Dad/Grandpa/Great Grandpa/Bud/Buddy - we all love you dearly and miss you deeply. <br> <br>A celebration of life will be held for Bud on Friday, February 5th at 1pm at the Salvation Army Ocean Crest Church, 291 Mclean Street, Campbell River, BC.  # 250 287 3720 <br> <br>All are welcome to attend this tribute to Bud; Cindy can be contacted at 250 287 7746.  <br> 		</div> 		<div style=\"background-color: #eee; font-size: 0.6em; padding: 4px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; height: 1.4em;\"> 			<div style=\"float: left;\"> 			<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #006;\">Sklarchuk, Hank</span> <span style=\"color: #bb0000;\">Wednesday, 27 Jan 2010</span> 			</div> 			<div style=\"float: right;\"> 			Comox Valley Record Courtenay, BC 			</div> 		</div> 		<div style=\"font-size: 0.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; min-height:110px;\"> 			SKLARCHUK,Hank  <br>July 24, 1939 – January 27, 2010 <br> <br>Hank passed peacefully at home after a courageous cancer battle, his beloved wife Marguerite “Grete” at his side. <br> <br>Predeceased by his son Derek, Hank is survived by his wife, son <br>Ted, “grandchildren” Michael and Courteny, brother Jack (Alberta), sisters Ann, Betty, Jean, Mary, Elsie, Dodie, mother-in-law Kay, and sisters-in-law Joan (Martin) and Marlene as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends. <br> <br>Hank was born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan and later relocating to the Comox Valley in 1980.

As he <br>wished, he wasn\'t in a hospital bed. <br> <br>Hans had a good long life. He loved having his family close, his animals, his garden and being active. He was \"Green\" long before it was trendy and loved to debate politics and religion.  He grew up in the small community of Sjorring in Denmark. Finishing school at 14, he then went out to work, first on farms, then in the forests of Sweden and finally made his way to Canada, sponsored to work on a farm in Ontario.  Working on the railroad took him to Vancouver Island where he settled, married and raised two daughters June (Gord and April) and Trina (Ed and Jasper).  He spent his last working years at Farquharson Farms - keeping the workers in the field in line and giving advice in the nursery.  He is predeceased by his wife Gertrud and all his siblings except his younger brother (Abel of Victoria).  He lived on his own until last month, sawing his own firewood and biking around town. He had a \"butler\" in the house for the last 20 years - 1st George, then Donna, Jenny, Nancy and finally Jo-Ann. They all became family.  He will be greatly missed and never forgotten by all who loved him. <br> <br> 		</div> 		<div style=\"background-color: #eee; font-size: 0.6em; padding: 4px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; height: 1.4em;\"> 			<div style=\"float: left;\"> 			<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #006;\">Woolman, Evelyn Fanny </span> <span style=\"color: #bb0000;\">Saturday, 23 Jan 2010</span> 			</div> 			<div style=\"float: right;\"> 			Comox Valley Record Courtenay, BC 			</div> 		</div> 		<div style=\"font-size: 0.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; min-height:110px;\"> 			WOOLMAN, Evelyn Fanny  <br>April 23, 1911 – January 23, 1911 <br> <br>Evelyn Fanny Woolman passed away on Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 7:45 pm. She was born in Courtenay, BC on April 23, 1911. <br> <br>The central focus of Eve’s entire long life was the deep, abiding love for her family. She became the rock upon which her family was based. Loving, determined, undefagitable, she never wavered in that commitment.  Eve was also a talented painter, potter, gardener and singer. She was a sensitive, emotional woman who also possessed strong, unshakable beliefs. She expressed her joy in life daily and shared it always with others. <br>  <br>Eve loved the Comox Valley where she was born almost 99 years ago. She often said she had seen it all ~ from a rural farming land to what it has become today. She loved to recant stories of the valley history that she had observed. <br> <br>Sunday family dinners were the highlight of her week. She took great satisfaction in her cooking skills ~ and dismay as she observed them fade with age. <br> <br>In her final years she became progressively more deaf, still, she reveled in her family, their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and finally her great-great granddaughter!  <br> <br>A life well lived; Eve is deeply missed. <br> <br>Eve was predeceased by her mother and father, Louise and John Catchpole and her sister, Beatrice Radford.
