Gary CUTHBERT Obituary
CUTHBERT, Gary Roland
March 24, 1936 - September 6, 2023
It is with great sadness we announce the loss of our beloved father Gary Roland Cuthbert who passed away at age 87 of West Vancouver, B.C.
Gary was born March 24, 1936, in Vancouver, BC. There he grew up, met and married the love of his life, Nellie Ann Stetsky and had two children (Karen and Albert). He joined CN Rail in 1959 starting out as a Timekeeper and became involved with the Union which led him to attend Union meetings in different cities across Canada. Gary was very active with Union work having held many titles and took great joy in representing Union members to defend their rights. He was good negotiator at work and promoted the pension plan to all new employees.
The family travelled across Canada and USA, spending many happy times on weekends and vacations camping and fishing. He volunteered his time in positions such as Boy Scout leader, Hockey coach, and was a member of Toastmasters. He was also involved with the Lions Club community activities, Union work with CBRT & GW and was a Member of Good Sam trailer club.
After 32 years of working, Gary retired early at 53 and travelled around the USA settling in Vancouver, B.C. For over 10 years, Gary volunteered at the North Shore Community Harvest Project, 'Extending a Hand Up' to those in need making a positive impact in his community.
Best words that describe Gary is he's very friendly, outgoing, loves to laugh and talk and make people feel good. He was very generous with his time, energy, money and always willing to give a hand to anyone who needed help. He always had time for everyone.
Gary's passing is mourned by his children Karen (Glyn) Cuthbert, Albert (Bert) Cuthbert, stepson Norman (Barbara) Murray, as well as 4 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife Nellie Ann Stetsky, parents Stuart and Olive Cuthbert and his fur baby dog Jack.
He will be greatly missed by all. Private interment of ashes later. Our family would like to thank the all the outstanding staff of caregivers at Evergreen House. In lieu of flowers, the family request that donations be made to Lions Gate Hospital Foundation.
