Predeceased by their father, William Franklin Vogelaar in 1972, Mom will be sorely missed by her children and their families. Bernie was always there for her children; her eleven grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren of whom she was very proud. Bernie was a hard-working, strong and selfless woman. She was a fine seamstress, sewed army uniforms during the war and made beautiful handicrafts throughout her life. She had a passion for gardening and was an excellent cook and homemaker. Bernie's family would like to thank Dr. Faulkner, her nurses and home care support services for their thoughtfulness and excellent care during this difficult time.

He was also instrumental in forming and the Charter President of Nanaimo North Rotary Club. Dave will be proudly and lovingly remembered by his family and friends as a tireless organizer and fundraiser for the many good causes he supported throughout his whole life; as a lifelong animal lover with his many dog companions; as Santa Claus whose presence would induce delight and excitement to hundreds of children and adults who sat on his lap over the years; and as a fine, upstanding and involved member of all his communities.
