In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
STEELE , Arthur - Preceded to heaven by his loving wife of 64 years, Joan. Survived by their only son David and his family: Candy (wife), Matthew, Shaye and Donovan, sister-in-law Joyce Steele of Mississauga, sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Mary and Glenn Horsepool of Courtenay. Born in Winnipeg, he attended Gordon Bell School and was a champion in track and cricket. He started work at Canada Trust in 1939 and shortly went to serve from 1942-45 in the Royal Canadian Navy. He was assigned to the corvette HMCS Matapedia to escort convoys across the North Atlantic from Halifax. After the war, he continued at Canada Trust in Winnipeg, then London, Ontario, and finally Vancouver in 1967. Following his first retirement (40 years), he guided the Vancouver Foundation and after moving to Victoria in 1978, he was the chairman of the University of Victoria Foundation. In 1995, he retired permanently to continue his love of golf at Uplands Golf Club. He leaves behind loving relatives scattered from Scotland to this continent, and many special friends. In lieu of services, please hold dear the memories and cherish the ones you are with today.
