December 9, 1941 - February 28, 2014
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Reginald Harry Whiting "Reg".
He was well loved by many. A father to Sherry Smathers (Bob) and Denise Gregorchuk (Shiloh). A grandfather AKA "Grumpy" to eight grandchildren, a brother to Belle Straker, Bill Whiting and Brenda Ferguson. Also leaving behind many nieces and nephews and a lifetime of friends.
Reg was predeceased by his parents Frank Whiting and Elsie Smith along with his sister Susie and brother Jack.
Reg was born on December 9, 1941 in Alert Bay, BC. He moved to Gibsons, BC in 1978 with his wife Penny and began his life as a boom man in Avalon for Rivtow Towing where he later retired. He spent his retired years traveling BC and living in Langdale RV Park where he made an abundance of friends.
The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Rob Lehman and Dr. Andrea Stinson as well as the staff at St. Mary's Hospital; and to many family and friends for their support through this trying time.
In lieu of flowers please consider donating to the BC Cancer Society. No service by request.
