CARTER, Bruce Haddon Bruce passed away peacefully on Oct 26, 2016 at Evergreen House, North Vancouver, at the age of 87. Bruce was born in Vancouver on Sept 22, 1929. Son to Neal and Peggy, younger brother to David and older brother to Lou. The family lived in Nanaimo, then Prince Rupert where he met his future wife Enid Young, at a young age. Their families moved to Vancouver, and their friendship continued. They were married Nov 6, 1953 in West Vancouver. Bruce celebrated his 61st wedding anniversary prior to Enid’s death last October. He was blessed with 4 daughters. Deirdre, Denise (Doug), Valerie (Kris) and Dawn (Kevin), 6 grandchildren Alisha, Kaitlynn, Trevor, Scott, Jenna and Jamie. Bruce was an avid sailor, a sport which began as a young teenager. Enid was his favourite helmswoman and his daughters were his committed crew. He raced small boats and then carried on to build and race his 3 family boats. He was a founding member of Tiddly Cove Yacht Club. As a family, summers were spent exploring the Inside Passage. He started Carter Construction, and designed and built many homes. The family home on Madrona Crescent was a showcase of his innovative skills. From the totem poles in the yard to the carved front door. A car accident forced a career change, but this never stopped his love for woodworking. He shared his skills in the classroom as a high school IE teacher. He loved spending time with his grandchildren. Bruce was loved by all and will be greatly missed. Thanks to EGH for their kind care. A celebration of life will be planned for both Bruce and Enid at a later date.

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Irene Laronde at the age of 55. Our beautiful, generous, dynamic and fun−loving Irene was taken from us by a cruel and relentless illness. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by family. Devoted wife to David, loving mother to Nathan and Katherine, fond daughter and sister and cherished friend to many. Irene grew up in Windsor, Ontario and moved to North Vancouver in 1986. She forged a successful career in the hospitality industry, where she impressed colleagues and guests alike with her flair and attention to detail. Her talents were evident at home too − a creative hostess; her parties were legendary! She was an amazing knitter, an avid lover of movies, and a 70’s and 80’s music lover. We will all miss her terribly. A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date; contact dlaronde@wesbild.com. Flowers gratefully declined.
