BANNON, Fredrick Arthur, aged 77, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, May 31, 2003 at his home in Burnaby. Dad, as everyone called him, was generous and kind and would do anything for anyone. He was a husband, father, brother, friend, coach, player and referee. Some would say he put more miles on his hockey skates than most people did on their feet. He was also a past Grand Master and District Deputy with the Mason's Fellowship. Dad will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his sister Doris, brother Jack, daughter Yvonne and husband Paul, daughter Margaret and husband Ian, son James and fiance Denise and his grandchildren Diana, John and Garrett.
