John died peacefully in his sleep with his wife of 50 years at his side.

He was predeceased by his father Tymen Visser, his mother Anna Been Visser and his sister Mentje Vugteveen. He is survived by his wife Darlene, daughters Jana and Caroline, precious granddaughter Natasha, brothers Sy and Neil and sister Della Vanderhoek.

There will be no funeral service but feel free to hoist a few in his honour. Remember John was a strong, gentle and good man, so tell all your funny John stories. He would be the first to laugh. In lieu of flowers please give to your favourite charity.


David Myers, June 14, 1933 - July 7, 2013

Dave passed away peacefully in Powell River General Hospital.

He was predeceased by his first wife Betty and is survived by his loving wife Lynn Cole, two sons Adam (Brenda) and Roger (Joy), brother Robert (Dolores), sister Lynne (Ron) Nott, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a large extended family.

Dave worked at the mill as a papermaker and held many interests such as cars, driving, boating, fishing, carpet bowling, square dancing, music, photography and model aircraft building. He had an ongoing concern in the Senior Citizens Association in Powell River and Texada Island and was a gentleman with a winning smile and a sense of humour that will be dearly missed.

Thank you from the Myers and Cole families to the oncology unit and the fourth floor teams for the wonderful care they provided to Dave and making him comfortable during his final days.

Donations to the charity of your choice would be appreciated.

A celebration of life for Dave will be held on Friday, August 16 from 1 to 3 pm at Cranberry Seniors' Centre.
