Mooney, Alvin Willis Saturday, 25 Aug 2007
Fort Saint James, BC
Dr. Mooney died of a heart attack at his home in Fort St. James, B.C. on Monday, August 13, 2007. His wife Janey Mooney pre-deceased him September 7, 2006.
Dr. Mooney is survived by his eight children – Marmie Cunningham, Walker (Carol) Mooney, Janette Nicholas, Louise Kaneen, Michael Mooney, Deirdre (Fred) Schoening, Fergus Mooney and Kerri (Jean-Francois) Lefebvre; his seventeen grandchildren Mara (Dean) Audet, Judy Cunningham, Janey Cunningham, Sandy (Julianne) Cunningham, Alvin Cunningham, Evelyn (Zak) Murakami, Dawn Mooney, Stephanie Mooney, Tim Mooney, Chris Smith, Megan (Dave) Rowbottom, Tamsin Kaneen, Nicki Schoening, Charles (Erin) Schoening, Adam (Shannon) Schoening, Luke Schoening and Erin Mooney; and his six great-grandchildren Ty Audet, Tiara Audet, Sharley Audet, Walker Cunningham, Justin Schoening and Madeline Janey Schoening.
Dr. Mooney was born on April 17, 1915 in Crawford Bay, British Columbia. He attended school there, in Nelson and Vancouver. He completed his undergraduate studies at U.B.C. and taught school in Burnaby for several years. He then attended the University of Alberta where he studied medicine. After short periods of practice as an Army Medical Officer in Fort Nelson and as a physician at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, Dr. Mooney moved in 1947 to Vanderhoof B.C. with his wife Janey and the first two of eventually eight children.
Dr. Mooney remained in practice in Vanderhoof for the next 40 years or so until they retired to their home on Stuart Lake in Fort St. James. It was very much a frontier medical practice especially in the early days when he was on his own. There were few roads, so much of the travel to the outlying towns and native communities was by boat, aircraft and the early Bombardier snowmobiles of the day. As the region grew in population and additional doctors arrived, Dr. Mooney returned to Edmonton for post graduate studies in general surgery leading to a Fellowship in both the Canadian and American College of Surgeons.
In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Mooney was very much involved in community affairs and participated on the Village Council, School Board, Regional District and many other initiatives including over 50 years with Rotary. Dr. Mooney was always a strong proponent of education and was very proud of his involvement in the establishment of the College of New Caledonia and the University of Northern British Columbia. He was especially delighted with the addition of a medical school program at UNB.C.
Dr. Mooney strongly believed he could not have had a better life than he and Janey did, serving the people of Vanderhoof, Fort St. James and the surrounding region.
They will both be missed immeasurably by surviving family, friends and associates.
A Service of Remembrance will be held Thursday August 23, 2007 at 3:00 p.m. from the Northside Mennonite Church (Vanderhoof), with Pastor Hugo Reimer officiating. Grace Memorial Funeral Home in care of arrangements. 1-866-567-4814.

Sandhu, Mohan Singh Thursday, 25 Oct 2007
Fort Saint James, BC
March 7, 1926 to October 25, 2007
It is with heavy hearts that we announce our fathers passing at Surrey Memorial Hospital on October 25, 2007. He will be sadly missed by his wife of 42 years, Sheila Kaur Sandhu. He will always be loved and cherished by his children Sajjan (Rajperminder) (Fort St. James, BC), Jindy (Manjit-Giani) Gill and Jag (Amarjit). He will be dearly missed by his pride and joy, his grandchildren Sony (Hardeep), Arman, Navin, Roshan, Suneal, Sajhan and Simrin.
Dad was born in Rurka Kalan, India where he lived for 29 years before migrating to Canada in 1955. He resided in Kamloops for 15 years before moving to Fort St. James in 1970 where he built a home and raised his family.
With his dedication and strong work ethic, he called Takla Forest Products his home away from home for 21 years. He established many good friendships and strong ties to the community in Fort St. James. Upon retirement he moved to the Lower Mainland where he would spend his remaining years.
Our father was a simple man whose sole purpose in life was to ensure the health, happiness and well being of his family. He enjoyed gardening, going for walks and tinkering with his tools while being the house handyman. His strong presence and love will be felt by his family, always.

Forever close to near

I Love you all

Sampson, Rudy Saturday, 08 Sep 2007
Fort Saint James, BC
September 19, 1933 to September 8, 2007
The days and nights go slowly by
Tears still flow, I cannot help but cry.
Your beautiful eyes, I can still see
Wherever I go I know they follow me.
Your laughter I will forever hear
And always know that you are near.
In my heart I will hear your voice
God wanted you and we had no choice.
Your love will always live on
No matter how long you’ve been gone.
The wonderful times and your face I will see
And know that they will comfort me.
They say that time will heal the pain
And that some day we will be together again
You will be with us no matter where we are,
Always close but yet so far.

Fort Saint James, BC
Alma Doris Hoy passed away peacefully in her sleep September 1st, 2007 at the age of 75.
