Stanley was predeceased by Sheila, his wife of 63 years, his parents Lawrence and Elsie, his brothers Fred, Herbert, Arthur, Frank, John, and his sister Elsie. Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his children Helen (Miljenko), Catherine, Elizabeth (Jean-Jacques), Joan (Jan), Lawrence (Elizabeth), and Rosemary; Grandchildren Maria, Paul, Chinma, Olek, Marek, Ania, Maja, Carys, Emma, and Lucy. Dr. Stanley Croft trained to become a physician and general surgeon at the University of Liverpool and served as a medical officer in the Royal Air Force shortly after WWII. Stanley and Sheila met at university and were married in 1952.

After taking over his father's practice and maintaining a clinic for many years in England, Stanley, Sheila and five of their children immigrated to Canada in 1965 where Stanley built a practice in North Burnaby. The aid and support he provided as prison physician at the Vancouver Jail from 1970-5 earned him a reputation for unselfish dedication to an unwanted and neglected segment of society. He also served a term as Chief of Staff of Fellburn Hospital, and he served on the staff of Burnaby General Hospital. He retired in 1990. He was an aficionado of the plays of William Shakespeare and would frequently break into recitation of lengthy passages known by heart.

He had a quick sense of humour and loved a good pun. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. Above all, he was a devout Catholic whose personal and professional life was guided by the gospels and the doctrine of the Catholic Church and shaped by their inspiration of divine perfection and call to mercy.

Alan James Hodgson, aged 89, passed away on June 19, 2018 after a brief stay in Victoria Hospice. Born in Victoria as the eldest son of Alan Charles Hodgson and Martha (Peggy) (nee Chadwick). Alan enjoyed a 54-year career as a productive architect, contributing significantly to the built, artistic and cultural fabric of Victoria, the city he cherished. His work was his life.

Some of his more innovative projects include an addition to the Technical College in Terrace BC, the University of Victoria's Maclaurin Building, including its associated Music Building with the Philip T. Young recital Hall, the MacPherson Playhouse restoration and new lobby, the earlier development of Island Farms, now under the aegis of Agropur, a Quebec based co-operative, and the restoration of the British Columbia Legislative Buildings. Alan always appreciated the faith that his clients, contractors and colleagues had for his design capabilities. A proud member of the Masonic community since 1955, he recently affiliated with Capilano Lodge No 164 in North Vancouver. Alan will be lovingly remembered by Sheila, his wife of 66 years, his son Kevin (Janet), daughter Sarah (Jim), and his four grandchildren: Ian, Farleigh, Jessica and David.

Mary was born on June 26, 1923, in Durham, England, and moved with her family to Clandonald, Alberta in 1929, where she was raised with her late brothers and sisters: Jack, Kay, Art, and Margaret. Soon after the Second World War, she started a family of her own with her late husband Donald. She became the first woman in her family to earn a full university degree, often attending six classes while married and raising three children.

She worked in an oil company's office in the 1940s, taught business and computing to students in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, and worked in real estate all at a time when few women were yet in any of these fields. In retirement she made her home in Richmond, BC, and her passions turned toward travel, further learning, and a boundless love for her grandchildren. Mary will always be lovingly remembered by her sons Don and Ron, her daughter Karen; son-in-law Warren; daughter-in-law Joyce; grandchildren Braeden, Devon, Julieanne, Curtis, and Paul; and deeply missed by many more friends and family. We treasure the place she holds in our hearts as a best friend, a lifeline, a mentor, and an inspiration to us all. We are grateful for the dedicated care she enjoyed at Royal City Manor in the final two years of her life, and her love, kindness, and strength will always be unforgettable.

Life's Greatest Gift: Remembrance On June 27, 2018, Canada lost an amazing lady. "Katie" Hill, affectionately known as "The Pigeon" passed away peacefully, in her 90th year, surrounded by her family. Her death was preceded by that of her beloved husband, Jim, in 2014. They were a remarkable pair. She is survived by her brother Henry Beaumont, her sons Brian (Andrea), Ross (Jane), daughter Nancy, and grandchildren Natalie, Oscar, Beaumont, and Paloma.

She was predeceased by her parents Arthur and Ida Beaumont and her sister Ellen Cherry. Born in Ponoka, and raised in Lethbridge, Alberta, Katie attended high school at Qu'Appelle Diocesan School For Girls in Regina. That boarding school experience had a profound positive influence upon her. For the rest of her adult life she made the Hill family home, "the Hill Hilton," a place of loving welcome to their friends, her children's friends, relatives, and many Mexican students. She graduated from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, as did all three of her children.

She never forgot her amazing Queen's experience. She became one of its most active supporters, particularly as a recruiter par excellence. Katie regularly hosted events to encourage young potential students to make the long trek across the country to her Alma Mater. Years later, the "Kathleen Beaumont Hill Award" was established in her honour. It is bestowed annually on the most outstanding Queen's alumni from British Columbia based upon meaningful contribution to society and commitment to the University.

Katie loved her job working for Canadian Pacific Airlines, flying to northern B.C. and overseas, in the early 1950s. She later created what was to be her favourite job as a ground hostess at YVR before becoming the Vice President's Secretary. Her volunteer work was an important part of her life. For years she was active with the Salvation Army canvassing persuasively, and encouraging others to do the same in the annual Red Shield appeal.

Katie was a pillar of her church and volunteered for over 20 years at the Vancouver Art Gallery. As a member of the Arbutus Club, she was a linchpin in the Walking Group, and later in the Aquafit programs encouraging members to participate. The annual Sun Run would inevitably see Katie, ready to participate with friends in tow. For all of her successes and triumphs, Katie was proudest of her own family. She always made time to drive the kids anywhere and provide a meal with a smile on her face and never a complaint.

Her fierce loyalty and strength of character built three strong willed and independent children. Her commitment and dedication to the business provided a foundation of support to help build the family business into what it is today. Katie and Jim raised Brian, Ross, and Nancy to be a reflection of all they believed in, and were enriched and rewarded in their grandchildren, Natalie, Oscar, Beau, and Paloma. Radiantly beautiful in her trademark pink lipstick Katie was a renowned hostess, enjoying dinners out with Jim at 1 1 Giardino every Friday night and hosting their annual New Year's Eve and summer parties. Mother, counsellor, mentor, beloved friend, Katie left a legacy for all of us in how to be a good citizen.

She will never be forgotten. A special thank you to Rudy Svarovsky and to her dedicated caregivers Perlita Dadbe, Lillian Tanoja, and Helen Werry. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. at St. Mary's Church, 2490 w.
