Lloyd Hanna Obituary
June 7, 1936 - May 30, 2025
Lloyd was born in a grain elevator in Saskatchewan. His life was an adventure from the start!
At 17 he joined the Canadian Royal Navy and was posted to Victoria. On arrival he swore he would never leave this place except for travel.
Lloyd was on the bow of the first ship to go through Seymour Narrows after Ripple Rock was blown up on April 5, 1958. He was a Saanich Firefighter for 20 years; he drove and ran the fire trucks. PJ Novelty store was also one of his creations.
Lloyd loved playing sports: rugby, baseball, golf and was a hockey goalie.
Lloyd and his first wife Pat Hurly had two children, Stephen (who also became a Saanich Firefighter) and Colleen. Thus 5 grandchildren which were the joy of his life.
In 2008 he married Shelagh Haynes. Their life together was an adventure, starting with 3 months exploring the Yukon to wading in the Arctic Ocean! Boating in Holland, safaris in Africa and winters in Mexico.
Lloyd's last days were in the awesome care of Broadmead Veterans Memorial Lodge.
He will be deeply missed
by the many people his life touched.

First my condolences to his wife Shelagh, son Stephen and daughter, Colleen. I had the pleasure of knowing Lloyd and his business partner while involved in minor hockey(VMHA -
former Memorial Arena). PJ Novelty was the "go to location" for trophies. Lloyd was very courteous, respectful & professional in all his dealings with me. ([email protected])

Lloyd was a lovely man. He was always the bee´s knees. He was kind, gentle, funny and a joy to be around. He was so very strong and dealt with his final years with grace. It was an honour to know him.

Our family is deeply saddened by the news of Mr. Hanna passing away. He was a dear friend of our late father back in the day and an equal supporter to all us boys/young men playing the games we loved. Our thoughts are with the entire Hanna family. Connors Family.

Lloyd is a man I looked up to at an early age playing hockey on a team he was an integral part of management. Our family held Lloyd in the highest regard and I'm proud to have known him and be friends with Steven sharing fond memories through hockey and life.
