In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
MORETON, David R. (Dave) - With sadness, we announce the peaceful passing of our cherished father, grandfather and mentor on June 7, 2021 in Victoria, BC. Dave was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and joined the Canadian Navy in 1941. He served through 2 wars and many tours of duty for 31 years as a Chief Petty Officer 2nd class and a Master Warrant Officer 2nd class. In 1969, Dave settled in Victoria, BC with his wife Olive of 63 years to raise their family, he was predeceased by Mom in 2012. While raising our family and following his navy service, he contributed 15 years to the Scotia Bank before retiring. Some of his many interests were his family, sharing stories, HO trains, reading history books and putting together model ships. Dave is survived by his children, Christine, Sheridan, Marian, Deryck & David and he also leaves behind 9 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. The family would like to extend a very heartfelt appreciation for the care our Dad received from the staff at the The Summit (Heron House) in Quadra Village where Dad spent his last days.
A celebration of life will be held Sunday, July 18, 2021 at 1:00 PM, due to changing Covid restrictions please contact the family at moretonfam95@gmail.com for details. In lieu of flowers charitable donations in memory can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
It's not goodbye, it's see you later. (Victoria Times Colonist 16 Jun 2021)
