WILLIAMS, Kenneth Victor June 21, 1929 to April 10,2012 Survived by his wife of 63 years, Josie, daughter Sandra Quesnel and husband Wayne, son Vic and wife Ping, and son Jim and wife Glenda. Sisters Laurie Forsythe and Joan Bronson. Brothers Alan and wife Phyllis, Ron and wife Norma and Brooke and wife Linda. Predeceased by his youngest sister Nancy. Grandchildren Candice and Dwayne Quesnel, Jason and Tomas Williams. Many neices and nephews each of whom he still enjoyed. Ken died suddenly while falling a tree, a job he still carried out himself. He loved to tell his children of how he had a job and was supporting himself and buying all his own clothing by the time he was 12 years old. He was unique in the fact that he travelled into Duncan and managed to graduate from grade 12 at Duncan High School. All of his adult life he had his own business and managed it as and how he pleased. Ken worked in the Forest industry with his own logging truck and later acquired enough equipment to run his own contract logging business which he ran for many years in the area. Later on Ken and his family built a sawmill in Glenora which was destroyed in 1993 by fire. After the sawmill, Ken and Josie started to travel in their motor homes, all over North America. They saw Alaska to the very bottom of Mexico together, always doing it their way, on their own terms. He liked to say that he “Sure had a good run” in his lifetime. He achieved so many things that were important to him. He will always be with us. A Memorial for Ken will be held at the Glenora Hall on Sunday, April 15 at 2:00 PM. Please join us and help us remember the good times. BENNIE, Robert Dobinson Bob passed away peacefully at the Chemainus Health Care Centre on April 7, 2012, at the age of 89. Predeceased by his brothers Charlie and Earl, Bob is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Mary, son John (Karen) Bennie, daughter Susan (Lyle) Boffy, grandchildren Kyle, Alan, Charlie, Jamie, Andrew and Dale, sisters-in-law Irene and Joyce, and numerous nephews and nieces. Bob was born in Cedar District on June 6, 1922. In his youth, Bob excelled at soccer and particularly lacrosse, where he played Senior “A” lacrosse for the Nanaimo Native Sons and became known as “Buck” Bennie. Bob joined the B.C. Telephone Company in 1938, working as a journeyman lineman, district maintenanceman, and eventually retiring as a construction supervisor in 1980. Bob and Mary married in Nanaimo in 1945, and enjoyed a full and wonderful life together. Bob was an avid outdoorsman, hunter, and fisherman. The freezer was always full of game meat and seafood. Bob also enjoyed playing bridge, as well as golf at the Mount Brenton Golf Club, where he served terms as the greens superintendent and president. Bob served the community as a long-time member of both the Chemainus Chamber of Commerce and the Chemainus Rotary Club. Summers with the family were spent at the cabin on Comox Lake. In retirement, Bob and Mary spent time travelling, camping, at “the lake”, and golfing – truly a “life well lived”. The family wishes to thank Dr. Paul Manhas and all of the staff of the Chemainus Health Care Centre for their kindness and special care to Bob. A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at the Mount Brenton Golf Club on Saturday, April 21, 2012, from 2 pm to 4 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bob’s memory to Parkinson Society Canada, 316 – 4211 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario M2P 2A9.

At 12 years old he came by train to Nanaimo with his mother and three sisters to join his Dad who was already stationed there, and he took his schooling in Nanaimo. Rex moved to Chemainus in 1956 where he started his business, B & H Tire Ltd. He and his wife Georgina raised their four children in Chemainus. Rex was very active in his community, coaching baseball and soccer. He belonged to the Rotary Club where he was their longest active member. He was past president of Rotary and the Chamber of Commerce and also served on the Chemainus Hospital Board. He spent eleven years serving as a municipal councilor and twelve years as the longest reigning Mayor of North Cowichan. He chaired many committees such as Finance and served on the Regional Board. People looked forward to enjoying Rex’s pancakes during Chemainus Days. He always had time for people and was always willing to help in any way that he could. Rex was predeceased by his Father and Mother, Nathaniel and Genevra, his daughter-in-law Michelle and his brother-in-laws Bruce Davidson and Joe Frketich.

Rex gave his all for his family and community. He enjoyed the last day of his life surrounded by his family, sitting in the sunshine smiling, talking and laughing. He was much loved by all of his family and friends. We would like to thank all of the nurses and doctors at the Cowichan Hospital for their excellent care and many kindnesses. We know you are looking down on us Dad. We love you. A celebration of life will be held at 2pm on Thursday, April 19th at the Calvary Baptist Church, 3318 River Road, Chemainus. In lieu of flowers, look around for someone in need and help them out. That’s the way Rex would have done it.
