Richard Gary WEEGAR

WEEGAR, Richard Gary (Max) Max passed away peacefully on Friday November 15 surrounded by his loving family at Royal Jubilee Hospital. Max was born in North Bay, Ontario to Carl and Betty Weegar on May 10, 1935. He joined the Canadian Air Force in the early 50's and was stationed in Zweibrucken, Germany where he met the love of his life and soul-mate, Ilse. Max, Ilse, and daughter Marianne left Germany in the early 60's to an assignment in Cold Lake, Alberta where eldest son Tom was born and then another stint in Zweibrucken three years later yielded youngest son Terry. Max retired from the Air Force to the Comox Valley where he became one of the Valley's premier real estate agents. Max moved his family to Victoria in the late 80's and the family has called Victoria home ever since. Fifty-five years of marriage could not diminish Max's love for his wife as just hours before he left us, he whispered to Ilse, "God, you look beautiful!" Max is survived by his wife Ilse, daughter Marianne, sons Tom and Terry, daughter-in-law Sheila, grandson Thompson, brother Dr. Bob Weegar and nieces and nephews from North Bay, Ontario. A celebration of Life will be held for Max on Saturday, November 30, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. at First Memorial Funeral Services in Saanich, BC (250-658-5244). In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favourite charity in Max's honour.
