DESCOTEAU, Robert Maurice Albert After a brief but difficult battle with cancer, beloved husband, dad and grandpa Bob passed away at Victoria Hospice, August 8, 2006. Born December 27, 1935 in Val Marie, Saskatchewan, dad spent his childhood and youth in Calgary, from which he embarked upon a 26-year naval career in 1953. He spent most of those years stationed in Victoria, where, in 1959, he married June. He always enjoyed music and sang in the early 60's with several navy buddies in a band known as The Bugs, who brought early Beatles music to Victoria before it was popular here. They even appeared on Ida Clarkson's Noon Show on CHEK-TV. After leaving the navy he continued his storesman's work at BC Ferries, retiring for good in 1997. Dad also had a love for sports. He bowled, curled, golfed and for a time, played hockey, as well as coaching his sons and many other boys in baseball at National Little League and Saanich Babe Ruth at Reynolds Park. In retirement, he became an avid golfer and active member of the men's club at Ardmore Golf Course. No matter what was going on in his life, dad was always willing to drop everything to give his kids and grandkids help when needed, and for that we will always be grateful. Dad was predeceased by his father Ralph and mother Helene, brothers Pete, Paul and Jules and sisters Jean and Lil. He is survived by June, his wife for 47 years, sons Bob (Deb) and Don and daughter Donna (Rob), grandchildren Michelle, Helena and Cole, and Felicia, Christina, Michael and Julia.

FAULKNER, Ethel Evelyn October 18, 1940 August 8, 2006 It is with great sadness the family announces the sudden death of Ethel Faulkner in her home on August 8 in Victoria, BC. She was a remarkable woman who was admired and respected by all who had the privilege to know her. Her passing is a tremendous loss to her family. Her spirit will continue on and her legacy of character will inspire us all. Ethel's many friends will miss her dearly. Strongly independent and private, Ethel enjoyed a diverse circle of friends and brought wit and fun to each. Her bridge, golf, investment, and social clubs will acutely feel the loss of her presence. Her curiosity and love of travel took her on amazing solo adventures to Europe and on long road trips through the US, BC and Alberta, always accompanied by her great choices of driving songs. She loved sports, especially golf, baseball and basketball and didn't hesitate to 'pop down' to professional training camps and games. Ethel was a constant learner and skillful researcher, always developing her computer skills, researching places to visit, practicing piano, yet she brought her own particular humorous perspective to everything. She loved her big 'Wally' golf club that apparently really improved her game. Always waiting for "Oh that's a gimme, Ethel" when she managed a close putt, she will be remembered for the fun she brought to her golf partners. Ethel was also very good bridge player, thoughtful and meticulous. Even when placing the 'dummy', every card had to be in place. We all feel privileged to have been a part of her life. Ethel is survived by sister-in-law Antoinette Faulkner of Edmonton, AB; her nephews Tom (Tony) of Quesnel, B.C; Don (Heather) of Calmar, AB; David Jr. of Stony Plain, AB; Terry of Edmonton, AB; and their families. She was predeceased by her parents Herbert Faulkner (1969), Bertha Faulkner (1989) and her brother David Faulkner Sr. (2005). Private cremation. Friends will be notified of the date and time for a gathering to celebrate Ethel's life. 281754 Published in the Victoria Times-Colonist on 8/12/2006. FERGUSSON, Mabel Kathleen (Cassie) March 5, 1909 August 7, 2006 Cassie died peacefully in her own home with the same dignity and grace she lived her life. She was predeceased by her husband Cecil (Gus) in 1989 and leaves behind her daughter Geraldine Robertson (Doug), grandchildren Greg Robertson and Denise Clifford (David), sister Mary Crodie, sister-in-law Joyce Campbell (Bob) and many generations of nieces and nephews. Cassie moved to Vancouver from Nova Scotia as an infant and remembered canoe trips on a pristine Fraser River and hiking adventures on the undeveloped North Shore mountains. Her pleasures in later life embraced travel, games and puzzles with family and friends of all ages who will miss her deeply. A special thanks to the Quick Response Team and her care workers. No service will be held at Cassie's request, but donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated. 280374 Published in the Victoria Times-Colonist from 8/10/2006 - 8/12/2006.

WOODS, Kay (Catharine) (nee O'Brien) May 11, 1926 August 8th, 2006 It is with tremendous sorrow and a poignant sense of peace that we announce the death of our beloved mother, Kay, peacefully and at home in the early hours of Tuesday, August 8th. Mom was predeceased in April by her husband of 57 years, Earle, and in June by her son, Pat. She leaves behind her seven other children, Mike (Marlene, Matt and Erin), Pat's daughter Lindsay (Lucy and Tyrell), Steve (Elena and Daniel), Mary Ellen (Chris, Dane and Savannah) Catharine Ann, Teresa (Nicholas and Elliot), Tom (Heidi, Olivia, Delaney and Eliza) and Monica. Mom is also survived by her extended family in Ontario, her sister-in-law Marianne, her nieces Lisa, Nicole, Laurel and Casey, her nephews Gordon and Bill and their families. Mom was a remarkable woman who formed lasting and loving relationships with almost everyone she ever met or worked with. She leaves behind far too many dear friends to include, but we have to mention her laff to tears" friends, Lucy Dalicandro and Blanche McKay, closest to her heart for over sixty years and her dear friend, Kae Witzel. Mom's faith sustained her, her children loved her and all who knew her will miss her deeply. Please join us for a celebration of Kay's remarkable life at 2 pm on Saturday, August 26th at the James Bay Athletic Association Clubhouse, 205 Simcoe St, in Victoria.
