Godfrey also leaves behind a large number of treasured lifelong friends from school days, University, Banff, business, the club, and the lake. Dad was a lover of life, family and friends. He's known for his great sense of humour, impeccable integrity, big heart and passion for fresh BC air - he was in his element driving his convertible to a tennis match. "Game. Set. Match." Heartfelt thanks to the staff at Capilano Care Centre, who provided Dad with dignity and cared for him with kindness, respect and patience.
