KILSBY, Robert Ernest
November 24, 1930 - August 19, 2009
Born November 24, 1930, in Haney, B.C.; passed away suddenly and peacefully in Ridge Meadows Hospital on August 19, 2009. He was predeceased by his son, Paul, in October 1991, and his wife, Helen, in December 2007. He is survived by his daughter, Patricia, his daughter-in-law, Derrien, and his grandchildren, Jenny, Julien, Nicolas and Christopher, and their partners, Tyler, Sarah, Claire, and Cindy, his granddaughter-in-law, Vanessa, and great-granddaughter, Isabelle Faith Graham.
In his younger days, Bob was an award-winning boxer, an avid hunter and fisherman, a baseball player and coach, a bowler and a curler. He was the middle barber in the three chair Stag Barber Shop in Haney, for almost 40 years. After retirement, and until his final days, Bob enjoyed each day working outdoors and in his garden, and living in the home that, with the help of friends and family, he built in 1963. Bob never lost his capacity for humour and wit, and we will always remember his acrobatics, when he would stand on his hands, and walk through the living room, dropping change from his pockets, as we all gathered what we could find.
In memory of the love and constant companionship he shared with his most recent adopted pet, Jessie, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Maple Ridge B.C. SPCA, at 10235 Jackson Rd. Maple Ridge.
A Memorial Service will be held on Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 at 1 p.m., at MAPLE RIDGE FUNERAL CHAPEL (Osborn's), 11969 - 216th Street in Maple Ridge.

Ronald grew up in rural English countryside, very active as a boy in athletics, running, soccer, gymnastics; he volunteered to serve with the British army in 1938 and wanted to be a bomber tail gunner but became a member of the Royal Corps of Signals in the 8th Army, serving in the North African and Italian Campaigns.
In 1946, he married long-time sweet heart Peggy Doris Lucy Knight; children started arriving in 1947, 1950 and 1956.

He loved and guided all of the family with his strong moral code, sense of humor and sense of what he believed was right. Earning the respect from family members, fellow employees, employers, acquaintances and friends. His dry sense of humor was ever present until the last few moments of his life.
He will be remembered by all as a dedicated, devout, caring, committed to serving, and honest man who lived to be part of the many experiences of life.

ORCHARD, Lucille Fern "Aunt Lu"
August 4, 1908 to December 1, 2008
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our Aunt Lu.
It is not possible in any meaningful way to capture the essence of someone who was as kind, generous and giving as our Aunt Lu, nor is it possible to express how much she is and will be missed.
Living beyond her 100th birthday, she saw the passing of Charles her beloved husband of 62½ years in 1992, and her companion George in 2008.
Left behind to mourn her passing are those that are truly blessed to have had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
To Lee and all the wonderful staff and residents at the Sunshine Manor, thank you for all your kindness and unconditional love expressed to our "Lu" these past 8 months.
Aunt Lu's legacy lives on within all of us and we can take comfort in knowing that she is now in the company of those who love her as much as we did.
Abiding by her request, there will be no service.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Lu's memory may be made to a charity of your choice.
