THOMAS, Maurice Rodolphe

Born October 6, 1920 in Maillardville, BC, died January 30, 2010 in Kelowna, BC, surrounded by the love of his family.

He was predeceased by his wife of 58 years Nellie in 2003 and great grandson Benjamin Dickson Bullock in 2007. He is survived by his sister Simone Desmarais of Kelowna and his three daughters, Judy Towers, Pitt Meadows, Jacqueline Bullock (Richard Bullock), Kelowna and Cathy Fisher, Port Coquitlam. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Steven, Scott and Donald Towers, Nicole and John Bullock, Christopher, Emmy and Jessy Fisher and great grandchildren Brett, Kelsey, Annika, Nathan, Stephanie and Dayna.

Dad lived a good long life that he was proud of. He was a veteran of World War II, where he served in the Royal Canadian Navy in the North Atlantic. He worked in the lumber industry in BC for 47 years before retiring to Kelowna. We will all miss his love of family, his love of life and his humor. Dad lived his faith and was a true gentleman to the end. We would like to thank Loraine and all the caring staff from Orchard Manor for the love and care they gave Dad. They helped to make his final journey one of happiness and joy.

A private Funeral Mass will be held at a later date.

GEE WHIZ MAN ALIVE!
