Roderick WRIGHT Obituary

Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province from May 17 to May 21, 2016.
Roderick Arthur WRIGHT 1934 - 2016 Dad passed unexpectedly on May 9, 2016. He was born in Vancouver on July 26, 1934 and in 1960 married his beloved Anita whom he lost last year. He will be missed by his sons Ken (Lisa), Steve (Lorrie) and Gord (Nancy), and his grandchildren Simon, Eric, Emily, Robert and Alex. He worked for 35 years at the Shellburn Refinery in Burnaby. He was the ultimate handyman who generously shared his many skills. He built the cabin at Lac La Hache, which he and Anita opened to friends and family, giving us many happy memories. A memorial service will be held on June 4th at 10:30 am at the Dogwood Pavilion in Coquitlam (1655 Winslow Ave). Donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
