Roy was born, raised, and lived his entire life in Chemainus.  Captain ‘Vate’ went to work at Chemainus Towing (Jones Marine Service) right out of high school and remained there until his retirement forty years later.  Roy and Bonnie loved to travel and camp, usually with a four-legged furry friend in tow.  Roy loved to see the different scenery throughout the U.S. but especially loved touring in B.C. and Canada.  Roy loved moose hunting, fishing and great times spent on Thetis Island with loved ones.  Roy took up skiing in his thirties and had fifteen years of great times on the hills.

Thank you to the emergency department staff of the Cowichan General Hospital and family physician Dr. Manhas.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice. As per Roy’s request, there will be no service held.
