May 24, 1947 - September 1, 2015
On September 1, 2015, Maurice lost his 14 year struggle with ALS. Maurice was a kind and gentle man. He accepted the challenges of his disease quietly and with dignity.
Maurice worked on the Coast as a steel fabricator and welder. Those who knew him as “The Best Damn Welder on the Coast.” He was an avid stamp collector and enjoyed a glass of Wiser’s whiskey.
Maurice is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Wendy, his daughters Jodee (Josh Young) and Deena (Charles Fenn), his beloved grandchildren Brenna, Brock, Lauryn, Mason and Ava (aka Thumper). Also mourning his loss, his sister Maureen (Dale Rutherford) and her family, his mother-in-law Shirley Pawson and brother-in-law Gerry Poloway. Maurice was predeceased by his father Sid Lowings and his mother Bernice Johnson.
Heartfelt thanks to the incredible and compassionate staff at Shorncliffe, home care and hospice. The family also wishes to thank Dr. Bruce Robinson for his incredibly compassionate and exemplary care given to Maurice over the years.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 3 from 1 to 4pm at Pebbles Reception Room, 5454 Trail Avenue, Sechelt.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to ALS BC or to the Sunshine Coast Hospice Society.
Resting where no shadows fall
Loved and remembered by us all.
