Passed away peacefully at his home in Hanmer at the age of 67. Survived by his wife Myrna Gray and children Ashley and Selina Bechamp. Also survived by his mother Denise (Victor, predeceased) and brothers Larry (Carole), Norm (Cindy) and Mike (Annette) and many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and extended family. Long employed by CN Rail, he then branched into his own contracting business, Omega Industries and until now, consulted with Wm. Day Construction Rail Division. Thank you to all for the warm wishes and heartfelt condolences from family, friends, co-workers and business friends from many years spent living and working in this community and beyond. He enjoyed every challenge. In lieu of flowers, please donate directly to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the charity of your choosing. He was always one to help those close by first. As per his wishes there will be no formal service.
Myrna, Ashley and Selina, I am so sorry for your loss. He was one of the greatest men, gentle and kind to everyone. He will be sorely missed in the community, but not more so than at home. Definitely thinking of you.
