Maureen PATRICK October 27, 1946 - May 20, 2013 With broken hearts we announce the passing of Maureen "Moe" Patrick after a brief, hard-fought battle with cancer. Maureen grew up on a farm in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, the youngest child of six. She attended a very primitive one room school as a child and took up the trade of hairdresser as a young adult. She obtained work on a cruise ship and traveled to exotic places all over the world. In 1979 she moved to Canada and continued working as a hairdresser, starting friendships that would last decades and putting down roots. Here she met the love of her life, Dave, supporting his various unique endeavours and becoming a warm and loving stepmother to his three children, Adrienne, Leanne, and Kevin. To know Moe was to love her. She was truly beautiful inside and out. She ran into someone she knew everywhere she went. She was nurturing, generous, and always lending a helping hand. Moe was a trustworthy confidante yet avoided talking about herself or asking for help at all costs. She never complained. She felt genuine concern for those down on their luck and quietly fundraised for many charities. An amazing hostess, Moe held legendary parties and she and Dave warmly welcomed everyone into their home and hearts. As their children found partners, their family grew to include David, Michael, and Sarah. Moe was heartbroken when Dave passed away in 2009. She actively kept his spirit alive, encouraging environmental awareness, for one small example. Despite suffering such a significant loss, she did her best to live life to the fullest and treasured many special trips with family and friends over these last several years. The twinkle in Moe's eyes also brightened considerably with the birth of her first grandchild, Drew. She called him "the best boy in Delta" and did anything she could to make him smile. Moe was furthermore fortunate to meet her two granddaughters this spring, Ava and Madeleine, and enjoyed the comfort of newborn smells and snuggles. Moe looked on the positive side of everything and was always the first to poke fun at herself when she did something "the Irish way". She had an undeniably green thumb and maintained a beautiful garden. At heart she truly remained a country girl even after living in Vancouver for 35 years and loved gathering berries to make jam which she gave to her many friends. Her best friends Fred and Keala will miss her terribly, as will her Annieville neighbours, hairdressing friends and golfing pals, many of whom were akin to family. Maureen will be lovingly remembered by brother Robert; sisters Eveline, Mabel, Kathleen, Anne; their spouses and many nieces, nephews and "greats," including: Ian, Ruth, Stephanie, David, John, Colin, Lara, Andrew, and Paul. She will further be missed by mother-in-law Lorraine, sister-in-law Laurie, brother-in-law Gord, and nephews Colin, Evan, and Jeremy. Thank you to the compassionate nurses and staff at Peace Arch Hospice who became part of Moe's extended family over these last four months. In lieu of flowers, kindly consider donating to the White Rock Hospice Society. A small graveside ceremony will take place at Boundary Bay Cemetery on May 30th at 11am. In celebration of Moe's life, an open house will be held at her residence on Sunday, June 2nd between 1-4pm. Family, friends, and neighbours are welcome to drop in and share a story or two about Moe. We love you Moe and we'll miss you so much.
"Here's Tae Us; There's Naeb'dy like us..." "Nice to see you, to see you nice."

Albert Thomas SMYTH February 8, 1924 October 13, 2007 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing on October 13th of our `Go-to-Guy.' Albert leaves his wife Maida after 56 years of an amazingly loving and supportive marriage, his daughter and son-in-law Bev and Chuck Lohm, grandchildren Jeff and Carissa Lohm, Shannon and Paul Leadbeater and great-granddaughter Rachel Leadbeater, sister Gladys Noort (Bill) and brother Aubrey. Grandsons-of-the-heart are Owen Coulter & Mike Wainwright. Albert came with his family to Canada in 1925 from his birthplace in Castlederg, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, settling in Port Coquitlam in 1934. A tank driver/mechanic in WWII serving in the Netherlands, he spent a year at university in London before returning home to PoCo. He worked at Essondale until 1957 when he became Business Manager for Haney Correctional Institution. The last few years of his career was as Regional Business Manager for BC Corrections. An active member of Trinity United Church for more than 70 years, Albert's second family was the church choir. When he wasn't heading out the door with his toolbox to help someone, he enjoyed bowling, curling and beating us all at crib. He travelled extensively but his paradise on earth was his cabin at Green Lake in the Cariboo. We will miss Albert's gentle strength, wisdom, sense of humour, quick wit and the twinkle in his eyes but we will hold him in our hearts forever.
The family would like to thank Dr. Hasham and the staff at Elgin Medical and Eagle Ridge Hospital for taking such good care of him. A memorial service will be held at Trinity United Church, 2211 Prairie Ave, PoCo on Thursday, October 18th at 11:00 a.m. If desired, donations may be made to the Trinity United Church Memorial Fund or the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation.

Gordon Malcolm TENER November 24, 1927 - September 7, 2008 Our brother, uncle and friend ended his life's journey in Vancouver close to where he lived and worked for most of his 80 years. Gordon pursued a life of science and research (including U. Wisconsin and U. Auckland) and was for several decades a Professor of Biochemistry at UBC and a biomedical researcher. Gordon greatly enjoyed the successes of his research colleagues and his students alike. He was part of a real company of adventurers in early days of genetic research and was counted as contributing not only valuable procedures but adding much to the spiritual and intellectual well-being of the group at UBC (which included Drs. Jack Campbell, Gordon Shrum, Ian Gillam, Nobel Prize Researchers H. Gobind Khorana and Michael Smith and others, all of whom he counted as friends). Never married, Gordon was a loved Uncle of many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by father John F. Tener (in turn, son of John Frost Tener born Co. Tyrone), mother Charlotte Evelyn Tener and brother David. He was a beloved brother to sisters Kathleen in Penticton, Doreen (Paul) in Merritt, Veronica in England, sister-in-law Trudy in Langley as well as brothers John (Josie) in Ottawa and Robert (Jean) in Calgary. Gordon enjoyed music and photography, was a prolific reader and a member of the RVYC. Having travelled the world during his working years, he loved the British Columbia coast where he found great beauty and enjoyment, first of all camping with the Jack Campbells and then exploring waters from the Gulf Islands to the Broughtons aboard Larus I, Larus II and Corax. He shared these times with all who would come, imparting humour, life experiences and lessons. In the words of Masefield, he had merry yarns from many laughing fellow rovers, friends and family alike. Gordon supported the B.C. Cancer Foundation (in memory of friend Michael Smith). The family expresses great thanks to caring staff at the VGH Neuro Unit, at UBC's Purdy Pavilion TCU, Nurse Next Door Care Agency and Marion Hospice. A quiet sleep and a sweet dream Gordon, your long trip's over. In his own words "It was a `very good' life".
