April 27, 1939 - January 30, 2017
Charles (Chuck) MacGregor Halliday, 77, of Davis Bay, passed away suddenly on January 30, 2017 at Sechelt Hospital in Sechelt, BC. Chuck was born to William and Emily Halliday on April 27, 1939 in Vancouver and spent most of his childhood in Vancouver. Chuck married Evelyn Maley in 1999.
Chuck was predeceased by his parents, William and Emily, and his Aunt Sally and Uncle Alf Rogers. Chuck is survived by his wife Evelyn, children Keith Halliday (Stacy), Lea Halliday, Shannon Mayers (Troy), grandchildren Kieran, Aline, Pascale, Ewan, Grant, Lynden, Kayden and Madison.
Chuck had many professions throughout his life. He transferred to the CIBC Bank in Whitehorse and spent a number of years there before coming to the Sunshine Coast, eventually settling in Davis Bay. Chuck worked and owned car dealerships in Whitehorse (Taylor Chevrolet) and Sechelt (Sunshine GM) and owned Anchors' Away Travel Agency in Sechelt for a number of years before retiring.
He was active in the Rotary Club, Masons, Shriners, the Model Railway Club and the Liberal Riding Association, and was a member of the Yukon Order of Pioneers.
Chuck was a devoted husband and papa to his grandchildren. He took great pride in watching Kayden play hockey and watching Madison sing and dance for him.
Thank you to all for the support from family and friends during the last few years and especially to Dr. Bryson.
