87 years old and never retired! Brother to four, Husband to Nancy, Father to five children, Bampa to nine grandchildren and seven grand-dogs, Great-Grandfather to eleven. WWII Veteran Flight Sergeant 427 Squadron, Businessman, Farmer, Board Member, Committee member, Volunteer, and (who could blame him) napper. He loved newspapers, cashew nuts, Laura Secord Easter Eggs, Purdy's chocolates, and ice cream. Ken grinned every time he laid eyes on his wife, Nancy. For 52 years, they set the standard for love and teamwork. He admired her terrific figure as she bustled about, doing too many things, and occasionally told her, "you should slow down a bit". Every day they said good night with three kisses and an "I love you". We, kids often caught him patting her bum. That's a successful marriage! Ken owned Apache Abrasives, and kept everything sharp, especially his wits. He also worked alongside his wife for Valley Livestock Supply. He sat on the Board of Directors for the Canadian Cooperative Woolgrowers. He was a member of the BCPSBA & the LMSPA. He was an active supporter of 4H Clubs. He volunteered with Sharon United Church Board; AND found some spare time for hobbies. Born in Montreal Quebec, May 27, 1926, passed unexpectedly May 27, 2013. Please come and share your memories at Ken's service. 2:00 pm June 12 Sharon United Church, 21562 Old Yale Road, Langley BC. 1:00 pm interment at Langley Lawn Cemetery.

Following a brief illness and with the comfort of his family by his side, it is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Daniel Ungerson, husband, father, grandparent, friend, gemologist, life long educator, letter writer and story teller extraordinaire. Born in Poland, Daniel travelled extensively, serving in WW ll and living in France, Scotland and England before emigrating to Canada and settling in Montreal with his wife and dear companion later in life, Margaret. Together they raised their three children, Michael (Micheline), Karen (Tom) and Jonathan (Leslie), sharing in exciting and colourful family adventures and road trips as they camped their way across North America, exploring the places and enjoying the people often found on the "road less travelled". Daniel's legacy and pride for his family continues through the lives of his grand children, Stephanie, Christopher, Matthew, Alexandra, Hallie and great granddaughter, Hailie. Sadly he was predeceased by his son, Jonathan, in 2006. Special thanks throughout the years for the love, kindness and compassion shown by his dear friends & family Marcel, Gilles, Helen and Connie, his extended family around the world and more recently by his many friends and the staff of Churchill House and Lion's Gate Hospital, North Vancouver who supported him in his final years. A family celebration of his life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Eureka Camp Society, www.eurekacamp.ca to honour his love of adventure and commitment to special needs youth, will be appreciated.
