Dad passed away in Langley Memorial Hospital as a result of post hip surgery complications. Dad leaves behind his beloved wife of 68 years, Bernice as well as 4 children; Rick (Thelma), Don (Carol), Joanne (Don), Tom (Tricia); 8 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. In his early years dad was athletic director of the YMCA and was an accomplished gymnast, diving instructor and an overall excellent athlete who participated in competitive softball and lacrosse. Dad was a deeply committed husband and father who worked tirelessly to provide for his family. Dad was a man of character who placed a high value on honesty, integrity, faithfulness and fairness. Once retired from Woodwards stores he and mom did some travelling including their annual 3 month stay in Palm Springs where they spent most of their time enjoying their favourite pastime, golf. For the past 20+ years the annual Payne family golf tourney and bbq have been a highlight at which time the winning foursome was awarded the coveted “Stanley Cup” appropriately named after dad. As patriarch of the family, dad will be deeply missed. The family gratefully acknowledges the doctor’s and nursing staff at Langley Memorial Hospital for the kindness they demonstrated while caring for dad. A “drop-in” celebration of life gathering will be held Saturday June 25, 2011 at Highgate Terrace, 19645 – 64 Ave., Langley, BC between 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers a donation could be made to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) or to the charity of your choice. Fraser Heights Chapel 604-589-2559. Funeral Home: First Memorial Funeral Services Fraser Heights Chapel; 14835 Fraser Highway Surrey, BC V3R3N6; (604) 589-2559.”
