Earl 'Vern' Berry

Dad died peacefully after a courageous, but short illness on Feb 10, 2015 in Victoria General Hospital, Victoria B. C. He was surrounded in Love by his family. He leaves behind Ronald (Colleen), Rickie (Ann) Rodney, grandchildren: Shauvon (Ryan), Mike, Janet and Robyn (Wes) and great grandsons Greyson and Maverick. Dad was born in Saskatchewan the youngest of 10 siblings and moved with his Mother Violet Berry to Victoria BC as a young man. Dad worked for many years as a longshoreman until he retired in 1997. (18 years ago). He loved family life, friends, golfing, camping collecting treasures, travel and most of all flying his airplane. Dad lived life to the fullest. He touched even more people by just being the thoughtful, compassionate, intelligent and happy person that he was. We were proud to have been his sons and like to take a moment here to Thank all of the friends who supported him so well through his illness and to express how grateful we are for the fantastic care he received from the staff at Victoria General Hospital ( 6th floor). A Celebration of life will be held on Mar 8, 2015, 2-4pm at Trafalgar/Pro Patria branch # 292. 411 Gorge Road East. A second celebration of life will be held in Saskatchewan in April (date to be determined) for the all of his remaining bothers, cousins, family and friend he has out there. In lieu of flower, a donation in Verns name to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated
