September 8, 1942 - October 28, 2023

In Loving Memory ~

Our beloved Dad, Papa & Papa Fonz, left this earth peacefully on a full moon to be with his beloved wife Louie. A fighter until the end, he passed away on October 28, 2023, at the age of 81 surrounded by his loving family.

Better known as "Fonz" he grew up in Campbell River and spent most of his time as a commercial fisherman. He lived life to the fullest enjoying a social life that included family gatherings, many "happy hours", darts and endless hours tinkering in his shop. He was smart, gentle, and a guiding light who was the strong patriarch to our family.

He is dearly missed by his best friend and constant companion "Taco".

With broken hearts, he leaves behind his two daughters: Dawn (David), Deane (Andy). Grandchildren: Cory (Amy), Darilyn (Luke), Jesse (Chandele), and Kamryn. Great-Grandchildren: Ryler, Jaxx, Blakeley, Ivy, Georgia, Austin, Taya and Odyn.

Also mourning the loss are his brother: Rick (Lynn), late brother Jamie (Charmaine), Kim (Cindy), and sister Tami. Sister-in-laws Marie & Pat (Frank) and brother-in-law Joe as well as numerous nieces and nephews and their families.

We will Celebrate his Life on November 25, 2023, at 1 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion.

"You were our Hero!" Until we meet again
