It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear ­husband, dad and poppy on February 6th, 2014, age 64, after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. Left with a lifetime of loving memories are his wife, Judy (Drodge); children: Geoff (Deanne) and Jodi (Chad) and precious grandchildren: Jack, Grant, Charlotte and Chloe. Also left to mourn are his sisters: Judy (Howard), Heather (Rex) and Iris and brother, Kevin; as well as a wide circle of extended family and dear friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Freeman & Mae and brother, Eric. Born in St. John’s and raised in Spencer’s Cove, the family relocated to Arnold’s Cove in 1964 during resettlement. He was the 3rd generation to work in the family business, Alberto Wareham Ltd. In 1994, he continued his business venture by moving his family to Pasadena where he built many ­valued and close relationships in the grocery industry. He lived a wonderful life, enjoying time at home on the lake, boating with his grandkids and friends, and many Florida vacations. The family would like to thank the staff at Western Memorial Regional Hospital, especially Dr. Mark Smallwood, for all their care and compassion during Dad’s illness. He will be resting at Fillatre’s Funeral Home, St. Mark’s Ave, Corner Brook. Visitation on Sat.
