Stuart HODGSON

Stuart Hodgson has left a lasting impression here in the North. He will not be forgotten.

My sincere condolences to his family - Mr. Hodgson was a very distinguished man and I'm privileged to have met him during his BC Transit days. Rest in peace, Sir.

I am so sad to hear of Stuart's passing. I am thinking of you and will be in touch.(I have moved to Hartney and my new phone number is 204-858-2210). Love Jean Agnew

He came to a meeting in Sechelt to discuss BC Ferries and their schedules. I had done my homework and given him a viable ferry schedule that worked equally as well as theirs, and maybe even better. He invited me to his office any time I was going to be in Vancouver so I took him up on it one day. We went for lunch in...

I am saddened to read of the passing of Stuart Hodgson. He was an incredible character, full of good humor and kindly regards for all who knew him. As a security officer serving at Citizenship and Immigration Office in Vancouver, I had the honor of serving him in his duties as a citizenship judge. During that time we discovered that he and I had a lot in common. Like him I worked in the forest industry of B.C. and was a member of the International Woodworkers of America. He often told me...
