His 12 Grandchildren, Cindy, Christine, Jack III, Laura, Carey, Candis, Mike, Dan, Paul, Leah, Anna and his dedicated grandson Nathan who spent countless hours by his side. Plus 17 1/2 Great-grandchildren. And sister-in-law Isabel Limer. Dad never tired of hearing about another baby being born into the family. Dad worked in the forestry industry for 50 years. He picked up the saw at the age of 14 and started falling and continued until his retirement at 64. He was a familiar face as a fire warden for 37 years in the summer months. Fighting forest fires and patrolling the Cowichan Valley for abandoned campfires brought him many hours of joy and stories. In his early years he was always found fishing Cowichan Bay or fly-fishing in the Cowichan River. He was always “going on hunting trips� throughout most of B.C. He was an avid vegetable gardener and in his later years he was well known for his BAKING for everyone, especially his donuts and apple pies. He was greatly loved and respected by his family and friends, and his passing has left another void in their hearts. We love you and miss you Dad. Hugs and kiss Mom for us. A celebration of his life will be held June 15 at Glenora Hall at 2pm.

Peter will be greatly missed by his wife Heather, son Owen (Yvonne), daughter Catherine (Jim), grandchildren Lachlan, Finley, Skyler and Makenna, and stepsons Rob and Jay Dyke. Peter was born in Gatesheadon-Tyne, County Durham, England. Following his National Service commitment in England, from 1948 to 1950, Peter obtained a B.A. Degree at Sheffield University and a Physical Education diploma at Carnegie P.E. College in Leeds. Peter taught for a year in England before immigrating to Canada in 1956 with his first wife Patricia, where they spent a year teaching in Burns Lake, B.C. In August of 1957, they moved to Vancouver Island to continue their teaching careers. Peter taught at Mount Newton Junior Senior Secondary School for four years, served for five years as Deputy Head of the re-established Brentwood College at Mill Bay and re-entered the public school system serving as Vice Principal of Quamichan Junior Secondary in Duncan. Peter left education in 1974 and entered the Life/ Disability Insurance business. He was passionate about the games of rugby and cricket, both as a player and as a builder. His unfailing commitment and service to both sports is well known and highly regarded by rugby and cricket enthusiasts on Vancouver Island, the Mainland, across the country and abroad. In 1996, Peter took up painting, working with watercolour and oils and continued his new found hobby for another 17 years. He enjoyed playing golf with Heather and travelling with her, visiting the UK, travelling the country by car, attending international rugby matches and cruising in the Mediterranean, the Baltic and Pacific. One of the highlights was spending six months in Australia/New Zealand.

Predeceased by sisters Audrey Woodward and Beryl Sweeney; brother Tom Woodward; and beloved fur-babies Cindy, Kayla, Mugly, and Bear. Jim was born on Oct. 23, 1941 in Timperley, Altrincham, England, to parents Aubrey and Esther Woodward. Jim and Carol met in 1959, married in October 1963 and welcomed son Gary in November 1965, and daughter Joanne in June 1970. While Carol was awaiting the arrival of their son, Gary, Jim could be found rehearsing with his rock ‘n’ roll band The Shadows. Before immigrating to Canada in March 1976, Jim was a qualified hairdresser until he became a sales representative for L’Oreal. After settling in Duncan, Jim worked briefly for his brother Tom at Pacific Rim Travel before going into partnership at Juliet’s nightclub. Once the partnership ended, Jim’s friendly smile and great personality were recognized mostly at the Galaxy nightclub or at Orca Manufacturing, both located in Duncan. Jim entered another partnership and managed Sweetwater’s nightclub in Victoria before retiring in 2003. A life-long Lions Club member, Jim volunteered with the worthwhile club for 35 years. He received many awards and acknowledgements from numerous organizations throughout his life time and will always be known for all the work he did. Jim was a huge supporter of Cops for Cancer, raising thousands of dollars to support the local cause. He had a sense of humour that couldn’t be topped by anyone, sharing his endless jokes with all who would listen and always leaving everyone with a smile on their face. Jim was a hugely likable human being, making not only local friends, but friends from all around the world. The list of hobbies and interests that Jim held is too long to mention, including his endless love and devotion for all types of animals. A huge and endless thank you to all the doctors, nurses, and caregivers at the Cowichan District Hospital and Victoria General Hospital, including the ICU units, as well neighbours, family, friends, vets and veterinary staff for all their care and compassion before, during and after Jim’s passing. Cremation by request. A celebration of life will be held between 2 and 4 p.m., Saturday, May 25, at H.W. Wallace Cremation & Burial Centre, 5285 Polkey Rd., Duncan, B.C., V9L-6W3.
