ARMSTRONG _ Agnes Helen (Birchill) Agnes passed away peacefully, after a
brief decline, at the age of 95, on Sunday September 24th at South Granville
Park Lodge in Vancouver British Columbia. There will be a Memorial Service
on Saturday, October 28th at the Sixteenth Avenue Gospel Chapel, 2756 West
16th Ave. at 10:45 AM followed by a Reception with light lunch at 12:00
noon. Nieces and nephews, representing the many branches of her family, will
be attending, and all those who wish to pay their respects to Agnes are
invited to the Ceremony and Reception. Agnes Armstrong was born June 19,
1911, in Dover, Manitoba a small settlement of Norwegian immigrants - to
Josephine and John Birchill (formerly Bjerkhaug-Susamel) into a family of
brothers and sisters, some born in Norway and some in Canada, including Olav
Birchill of Dover MB, Nels Birchill of Dover MB and Sedgewick AB, Signe
[Lange] of Winnipeg MB, Jenny (Kirkrod) of Vancouver BC, Ruth (Smith) of
Edmonton AB, and Lillian (Wales) of Portland Oregon. She is survived by her
sister Lillian and by the children and grandchildren of her siblings. She
was married in Winnipeg to Leslie Armstrong in 1938 and resided at 382
Winchester St. She moved to Vancouver in 1952 after her husband's death in
1949 and lived at 1550 Vine St., Kitsilano for 38 years before moving to the
South Granville Park Lodge in 2004. Aunt Agnes, as the family generally
referred to her, was an active woman who worked as a legal secretary until
the age of 70. She was also a vigorous walker and many will remember her
striding through Kitsilano Park almost every day. She maintained
associations with a wide range of people including friends, and many members
of her extended family in Canada, the USA and Norway, and traveled
extensively to visit them. She was very active and supportive of her church,
the Sixteenth Avenue Gospel. She also supported worthwhile causes and
efforts of particular mention should be the Joy Fellowship and the Union
Gospel Mission. For many years she, along with her friend Betty Gjertsen,
provided loving care for her niece, Bernice (Doreen) Kirkrod, a longtime
resident of Blenheim Lodge, a care-home sponsored by her church. Her health
and spirit were extraordinary until her recent decline. Her nephew Jack
Lange of Winnipeg, who assisted her with her affairs during recent years,
and had enjoyed a lifetime of constructive advice from Agnes, will
especially miss her. Agnes herself was a testimony to her beliefs and
values. She was mindful of both body and spirit. She had unwavering faith
and passed away with great peace of mind. She managed her worldly resources
with intelligence and discipline, and with due consideration of her
Christian duty to be charitable. She was awarded a plaque by Revenue Canada
recognizing her exceptional generosity in relation to her income. Family and
friends are grateful for the excellent care and attention of the staff of
South Granville Park Lodge. Donations in memory of Agnes may be made to the
Joy Fellowship of Vancouver and/or the Union Gospel Mission of Vancouver or
Winnipeg. We say to Aunt Agnes, as she always said to us when saying
goodbye, "Hav det bra."

DUKE _ Daryl James After a courageous struggle with pulmonary fibrosis,
Daryl passed away peacefully at his West Vancouver home on October 21, 2006.
Born March 8, 1929 in Vancouver, Daryl's love of British Columbia never
waned even while he wandered the world. The smell of the ocean, the changing
of the tide, but most importantly watching the setting of the sun on British
Columbia's Pacific coast were very much part of his persona, especially when
he was on his Savary Island - a place he came to think of as "home." From
selling jokes to a local radio station at the age of 15, he earnestly set
out to capture his "love with shadows, phantoms, lovely ghosts, and haunting
the by-ways of our hearts" after he obtained a degree in English and
Philosophy from the University of British Columbia. He has worked for the
National Film Board, the CBC, ABC, NBC and CBS, and most of the major
studios in Hollywood. He has also been the recipient of many accolades and
awards - Emmy Award for his direction of "The Day the Lion Died" starring
Hal Holbrook, the National Society of Film Critics Special Award for his
feature film "Payday" starring Rip Torn, a Christopher Award for "I Heard
the Owl Call My Name" starring British actor Tom Courtenay, the Canadian
Film Awards (now called the Genies) for "The Silent Partner" starring
Christopher Plummer, Elliott Gould and Susannah York. Daryl's feature film
"Payday" was also an official entry at the Cannes Film Festival in the
Directors Fortnight Category. He received Emmy and Directors Guild of
America nominations for his work on the mini-series "The Thorn Birds." He
co-founded and launched the independent station CKVU-TV in Vancouver and was
its first President and CEO. He was inducted into the Starwalk and the B.C.
Entertainment Hall of Fame at Vancouver's Orpheum Theatre. He was also the
first recipient of the Outstanding Achievement Award for an Individual given
at the British Columbia Film Industry's annual Leo Awards ceremony. Daryl
was inducted into the Canadian Association of Broadcast Hall of Fame. Simon
Fraser University granted him a Honourary Doctorate of Fine Arts, and he
also received ACTRA's John Drainie Award for distinguished contribution to
broadcasting. "Though the lamps should be lit and fires started I stay
watching the darkness come slowly forward. I think of how few nights of
peace there are. True peace. When the flood tide slides north as it should.
When the eagle sits in his tree. When the heron puts away the torn cloth of
his cries. When night falls and the heart is not heavy." Daryl has lived his
life with enthusiasm, spirit and an intensely enquiring mind. He is survived
by his wife Anne-Marie Dekker, sons Bryan (Margy) and David (Melanie),
stepson Michael Favelle (Carrie) and grandchildren Leah, Nathan, Samantha,
Dakota, Ansel, Owen, Elijah, Noah, and Jakob. A public service will be held
on Tuesday, November 7 at 2pm at Christ Church Cathedral, 690 Burrard
Street, Vancouver, BC. Condolences or well wishes may be posted at
www.darylduke.com . In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Daryl
Duke Screenwriters Award c/o BC Film, 2225 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V6K
