Tribute

Alec passed away at 5:20 am on Wednesday, April 27, at Evergreen Extended Care Unit in Powell River. He is survived by his devoted wife of 36 years Joan (née Egglestone), daughter Wanda, son Randy, many grandchildren, nieces, nephews, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law. Alec was born in Northbank, Alberta, and raised on a farm where he lost his arm at the age of 14. After many years of experience in farm work, logging, sawmill operating, heavy-duty equipment operating, mechanics and maintenance, he went to work in Tahsis, BC. From Tahsis, Alec decided to take the maintenance foreman position at Blubber Bay Quarry (then Domtar) in 1972. Alec was warm, kind, gentle and true, and much loved by Joan and all family members. He will always be in our hearts and never forgotten. We wish to thank all the healthcare workers involved in Alec’s care over the recent years and the wonderful caregivers at Evergreen Extended Care Unit. A graveside service was held at Woodland Cemetery in Van Anda on Friday, May 6, followed by a luncheon at the Texada Legion. Thanks to everyone who attended the service and sent or spoke words of comfort. – See more at: http://www.prpeak.com/archived-obituaries/obituaries-gresl-mahowich-1.2259474#sthash.VCSM4ruE.dpuf
