HALIKOWSKI, Gerald (Hal) - Sadly Hal passed away on the evening of March 31st, he was 86. We will remember him as a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. His life was dedicated to being of service to his country. He was in the R.C.N. (1942 to 1974) and for 13 more years in the C.F.A.V. He was famous for asking: How can I help?" Dad loved his family, fishing and gardening. He was a mentor and a teacher to many and a hero to those who loved him most. Heaven opened a door, for this gentle loving man and has welcomed a new angel. We will remember Hal best when we raise a glass and toast: To happy days". On his request, there will be no service or flowers. Please make a donation to the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund. (Victoria times Colonist 06 Apr 2010)

 

Hal's wife, Ellen A. (née Lang) Halikowski served in the WRCNS during the Second World War.
