Tribute

PARKER, Reginald A. (Reg), age 82, of Osoyoos, British Columbia, passed away peacefully at home on May 28, 2018, with his family at his side.

Reg was born, December 25, 1935, in Vancouver, British Columbia, and grew up in Steveston (Richmond), British Columbia. He married Sheila Anne Henry in 1968 later moving to Ladner.

Reg is survived by his children Susan (Rod), from his first marriage, Lisa (Ken), Dan (Shawn), grandchildren Megan (Jake), Nicole, Rebecca, Kaysen and Jade, and sister Marion, brother in-law Len, and nieces Kim and Lenaya. Reg is predeceased by his much-loved wife Sheila and parents George and Gladys.

Reg lived a very full life, serving in the Canadian Armed Forces (1954-57), commercial fishing, working at Fraser River Pile Driving, the municipality of Richmond, and later retiring to Osoyoos in 1999 where he enjoyed watching the tide come in on his beloved pond. Reg loved to hunt, fish and spend time with family and friends. He always had a great story to tell and was quick with a joke to make sure you were smiling.

Reg was an active and well-regarded member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Ladner and Osoyoos Branches, and will be sadly missed by all his friends.

Thank you to family and friends for all their care and support.

A gathering in celebration of Reg’s life will be held at the family home on Saturday, June 16, 2018 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
