BOUCHARD, Danny Daniel Jean Joseph It is with immense sorrow that we
announce the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved Danny Bouchard (40
years). Danny was a husband and father first, son and son-in-law, uncle and
great friend. "Sunshine", as he was often adoringly referred to, spent the
last 18 years of his life with the love of his life, Carola, with whom he
shared two beautiful children, daughter Alexandra "Lexie" (14) and son
Nicholas "Nick" (10). In addition to his immediate family, Danny is survived
by his mother and father, Lola and Delphis Bouchard of Quebec; sister Mylene
Bouchard and her son Vincent; brothers Roch and Luc; mother and
father-inlaw, Horst and Evelyn Kauermann; sister-in-law Stephanie Hunt and
her daughter Emily and future brother-in-law, JP Hiekel. After serving 21
distinguished years in the Royal Canadian Navy posted to the HMCS Calgary,
and serving two tours in the Persian Gulf, Danny retired from the Navy only
to then embark on a second career with the Victoria Police Department after
serving 9 years as a Police Reserve Officer. Danny was the light of our
lives and touched many people with his infectious smile and sense of humor.
He was a caring father, loving husband and had the most generous of hearts,
touching many friends at home and abroad. Danny will be missed very much. In
honor of Danny and his family, a service will be held on Wednesday,
September 26, 2007 at the Glad Tidings Church, 1800 Quadra Street, Victoria,
B.C. at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family has requested that

HIND, Margaret Gemmell (nee Loudoun) March 1, 1922 September 21, 2007 "Her
soul became too big for her body. " Margaret was a loving and supportive
partner to Reg, her husband of 55 years. She was a wonderful mother of her
children, Ginny, Ronni (Lee) and Scott (Catherine); and a proud grandmother

to thank Dr. J. Jollymore, all the staff at Oak Bay Lodge and the ladies
from Home Instead for their loving care, compassion and support. A memorial

Mayhew, beloved wife of the late Robert Logan Mayhew, and mother of Robert
Logan Jr., Marlyn Jean (Davis), and Rani Lee (Johns), died peacefully at
home on the morning of Wednesday, September 19, 2007 following an extended
period of declining health. An intensely private and independent person,
Margaret will be remembered for her gentle sense of humour, a selfless
concern for the wellbeing of other people, and her love of animals, her
garden, and the opera. Born in Paris, France, Margaret lived in several
international locations with her sisters Velma (Bassingthwaighte), Mary
(Evens), Adele (Luker), and brother Edwin, while her father served with the
U.S. Consular Service. A posting to Victoria in the 1930's brought Margaret
a friendship with Jean Mayhew (Lawrason), and later marriage to Jean's older
brother, Logan. While raising their family Margaret was an active member of
PEO, and in later years became an enthusiastic golfer and bridge player at
Victoria Golf Club. In addition to her children, she is survived by her
sister Mary, grandchildren Kirsten Davis (Dan), Lindsey Davis (Steve),
Robert Mayhew, Jennifer Mayer (Jean-Guy), Logan Johns (Rachel), numerous
nieces and nephews, and great-grandchildren Emma Mayer, Jonah Mayer, and
Monkey Johns, many of whom knew her fondly as "Tutu". The family wishes to
thank many friends and supporters who helped to ease Margaret's path during
her difficult final years, especially Bill Ball, Barbara Emery, Vivian Gent,

Bill McElmoyle, and Nancy White. Thanks also to Community Care staff for
their compassionate and professional support. Family and friends are invited
to a celebration of Margaret's life at 12:00 noon, Saturday, September 29 at
