Will Lennox ~

It is with sadness that I have to share with you that Will Lennox at age 81 passed away at 6:00 pm Thursday December 10th 2015.

As many of you know Will had some difficulties over the last couple of years and in his own words had lived 2 years longer than most thought he would.

After a couple of recent visits to Cowichan District Hospital all the while soldiering on with preparations for the lighting of the Christmas concert he returned to CDH on Monday where it was determined that they needed to operate. The surgery on Tuesday revealed the extent of the cancer for which nothing further could be done. Will passed away resting peacefully with Mary and his family at CDH. Mary is staying in Victoria with her sister and daughter. Updates about arrangements will follow.

Contact Simone at 250-246-4802 or simone@stonesculptor.ca for more info.

Cat Still Missing ~

My dad's cat went missing on Saturday November 21st. She was last seen on the beach under the government dock.  My dad is David Pethick aka Miska Dave. His phone number is (250) 436-2468 and his email is diogenesdave215@gmail.com

The cat is a female named Bobbie. She is a brown tabby and most notably she does not have a tail. She is very skittish and shouldn't be approached, if anyone sees her or has seen her my dad would greatly appreciate a call.

I have included a few pictures. 

Thank you

Loey May
