CHEESE : KING : KUUSHOLMA : PAULLEY :

CHEESE, Albert D. (Jim)
January 23rd, 1928 ~ August 7th, 2004
Jim passed away on August 7th, 2004 at Campbell River District Hospital
after a lengthy illness.
He is predeceased by his parents, Albert and May, sister Phyllis, and his
brothers Bert and Alan and survived by his brothers, Arthur (Sheila), Eddie
(Ruth), Dexter and his sisters Linda and Betty of the U.K.
He is also survived by his wife Irene, daughters Janet and Melodie
(Vancouver Island) and Christine (Ontario). He also leaves 7 grandchildren
and 3 great grandchildren.
Jim was born in London, U.K., and spent 8 years in the military, most of
which time he was in the Royal Military Police. He met Irene while both were
serving in the forces in Belfast, N.Ireland, and they were married in 1953.
After working in the family Janitorial business, he and his family emigrated
to Canada in 1963, living in Toronto before moving out west to B.C. in 1982.
In 1985 he began working as chief custodian and janitor in Capt.. Meare’s
Sec. School in Tahsis until his retirement in 1993.
Later he pursued his interests in model-making of military vehicles and
aircraft and especially the wooden doll houses for each of his daughters and
his wife. Besides his crafts, he will be lovingly remembered for his love
for his family as well as his wit and humour, even to the end.
The family would like to thank all the nurses in ICU and Palliative Care for
their compassion and loving care. They are to be highly commended for their
selfless devotion in providing such comfort to Jim in his last days.
Special thanks also to the care provided by the home support nurses.
Cremation has already taken place and a memorial service will be held at
River City Christian Ministries on Colwyn/5th. Ave on Saturday, August 21,
2004 at 2pm. A reception will follow at the Foursquare Church on Larwood.
His family in the U.K. will also remember their brother Jim in a memorial
service the same day in London, U.K.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in

KUUSHOLMA, Yrjo (George) Mikael
October 12th, 1941 ~ August 7th, 2004.
It is with great sadness we announce that Yrjo Kuusholma passed away
peacefully at his home on the eve of Saturday, August 7th, 2004.
It is impossible to come up with the words to express just how much he will
be missed by family and by all of the friends he has made throughout his
life.
He is survived by his mother, Selina; aunts, Tyyne and Aune; daughter,
Taina; stepchildren, Ismo and Sari; grandchildren, Mellisa, Christine and
Derek Jr.; ex-wife and best friend, Sirpa; and the many relatives who live
in Finland.
It goes without saying that Yrjo’s second home was the forest. While falling
for over half of his life, he developed bonds with co-workers that have
become uncomparable.
There is just no question about it, we will never see a man like this again.
He will always be remembered for being the most kind, generous, funloving
man; for being the most loving father; and for being the kind of friend one
can only hope to be lucky enough to come across at least once in a lifetime.
For all those wishing to attend a Celebration of his Life, join us on
Saturday, August 14th. at 2pm. at 307 S. Birch St.

PAULLEY, Gilbert (Bert) Randolph
We sadly announce the passing of our dear cousin Bert on Sunday, August 1,
2004 in Campbell River, BC.
Bert was born in Winnipeg, MB February 19, 1919 to Gil (Gilbert) and Dolly
(Doris) Paulley. He was active in sports and served in the Royal Canadian
Navy during World War II. In July of 1943 Bert married his beloved Bunny
(Thelma) Johnson. During their 53 years together they resided in Winnipeg,
New Westminster, Calgary and Campbell River.
Bert was predeceased by his mother in 1947, his father in 1948 and his wife
in 1996. He is survived by many caring cousins throughout Canada and will be
long remembered by his friends in Campbell River.
Bert’s ashes will be scattered at a later date.
Thanks are extended to Veteran’s Affairs Canada and to all who gave him
nursing care at home these past months. Bert appreciated it so very much.
