ERRETT,
Ron
(March 14, 1922-November 24, 2005)
'When war was declared I went to the Naval recruitment officer
in Stanley Park to sign up and he asked if I ever had my tonsils
out. When informed I hadn't, he told me I couldn't join the Navy.'
Next stop was St. Paul's Emergency. Scraping every penny from
his bank account, Ron handed over his last $75.00 and had his
tonsils removed... then back to the recruiter...then off to the
parade square to march and heal for a week. From those early
wartime days as an Ordinary Seaman, soon scrambling to lash down
45-pound depth charges in 60 foot seas, Ron earned his way to
a North Atlantic Commission and by war's end was commanding a
vessel off B.C.'s west coast. Ronald
ERRETT always managed to
squeeze 26 hours out of every day, more than 35 days from a month,
and seemed to cram about 13 months into nearly every one of his
83 years. Most of his meals finished with, 'That was the best
one I ever had in my life!' Be it a peanut butter sandwich, a
plate of hamburger helper or just mac and cheese... every bite
was the best yet! No such thing as a bad Scotch, and all wines
were award-winners! Ron was always first off the mark... and
first in the pool! His gravelly voiced, 'You can do it!!!' was
followed by at least three exclamation marks as Ron was the ultimate
motivator when times got tough, business got slow, or when things
mysteriously went sideways... yet nary a complaint was ever heard
when faced with his own private challenges. So that was Ronald
Barrie ERRETT, the giver. Syl's always romantic, darling husband,
who lit the candles and passed on little gifts all leading to
that special occasion. The total, into-it dad; the grandpa and
greatgrandpa extraordinaire; the seaman, the skipper, the new
Cub Master mere minutes after meeting the Pack. The Mason, the
founding President of British Columbia Kiwanis; the just-back-from-the-war
23-yr. old Director of one our earliest Credit Unions... the
roommate that never left a ring around the tub, a kindly, boldly-bursting-with-energy-and-superlatives
kind-of-man who could mend most anything with a couple of coathangers
and duct tape... and who readily lent his broad-shoulders for
any just cause. Surrounded by family at the Pallative Care Unit
of V.G.H.'s Jim Pattison Pavillion, Ron just closed his tired
but happy eyes and quietly succumbed to the leukaemia that played
havoc with papa's 'round the park bicycling jaunts. Ironically,
many of Ron's best years in sales and management right across
Canada were very much part of The Jim Pattison Group's sign divisions,
so a few things kind of came together like they were meant to.
Today, wife Sylvia, son Mark and wife Claudia, daughters Lee
with husband Victor and Wendi with partner Michael, mother of
Mark, Lee and Wendy, Marguerite
DAVIDSON, stepdaughter Brandee,
grandchildren, Amy, Lena and Katie, Christie with husband Doug,
Randall and Shawna, Adam and Cole, great grandchildren Kiley
and Mathew, more Friends, more co-workers, more comrades than
could ever possibly join him on the aft deck of his ship, all
sorely mourn their loss, but surely will be brought to smiles
then laughter by the wonderful times and storied memories he
delivered in his indefatigable Ron
ERRETT way. A private, 8-Bells
Burial At Sea will take place in early December with his family
planning a celebration of his most wonderful life early in the
new year.
