Family Memories / Souvenirs de famille Peter was a proud, dedicated and extremely caring firefighter for the City of Coquitlam Fire/Rescue, starting his career in 1980. His brothers/sisters in the department were his extended family. Peter had a tremendous sense of humour and quick wit which he shared with everyone. With his crooked smile and laugh he would light up a room. Peter had three very special girls in his life: his high school sweetheart and wife, Judy, and his two beautiful daughters, Hayley and Dalyce (Todd) who miss him every day. He would have been the most amazing Grandpa to Jayce Peter born in 2012. He is also dearly missed by his siblings Linda (Dennis), Colin (Beth), Debbie, Larry (Nadine) and his in-laws Bern and Chris, his son-in-law David, and his devoted 24/7 bedside companion Riley. Peter loved music, hiking, mountain biking, boating, camping and exploring B.C. with his family. The Mayan Riviera was a favourite destination for Peter and Judy where they loved to relax, soak up the sun and watch the waves roll in, with a cold cerveza in hand. With dignity and determination Peter fought a courageous battle with cancer for four and a half years, but always his focus was the well-being of his family. We love him and miss him so much. Always and forever.

Family Memories / Souvenirs de famille Sylvain de par la signification de son nom (qui aime la nature) était prédestiné à devenir protecteur des forêts. Il a terminé sa technique forestière et a par la suite travaillé à reboiser, à débroussailler et à faire de la coupe de bois jusqu’au jour où il fit sa première expérience auprès de la SOPFEU en tant que main-d’œuvre auxiliaire en 2004. Ayant aimé l’expérience il fit son entrée au service de la SOPFEU en tant que pompier boréal en 2005. Sylvain a su communiquer sa passion à son père qui travaille depuis 2005 comme main-d’œuvre auxiliaire. Sylvain se faisait un plaisir de donner la formation annuelle à son père ainsi qu’aux membres de la main-d’œuvre auxiliaire. Sylvain était généreux, sociable et toujours prêt à rendre service. Il aimait être le protecteur de sa famille. Dans ses moments de liberté il aimait être auprès de sa conjointe et de ses deux enfants Sarah-Maude et Nathan qu’il accompagnait avec plaisir à leurs différentes activités sportives. Il aimait jouer aux Xbox en ligne avec son frère et ses amis, et passer des moments en famille autour d’une bonne table. Mais ce qu’il préférait par-dessus tout était de terminer la soirée autour d’un bon feu avec ceux qu’il aimait. Sylvain tu seras toujours présent dans nos cœurs et vivant à travers l’amour de ta conjointe Geneviève, de tes enfants Sarah-Maude et Nathan, de ton frère et ta belle-sœur François et Kate, de ta sœur et ton beau-frère Natacha et Michel, de ton père et ta mère Pierre et Denise, de ton filleul Nicholas, de ta nièce et tes neveux Léa, Emrick et Adam, ainsi que de tes nombreux collègues et amis. 2013 Memorial Service 5 Service commémoratif 2013 ACTING CAPTAIN JAMES M ac LEAN TORONTO (ON) FIRE SERVICES Acting Captain James (Jamie) Alton MacLean died from a work related illness on July 5, 2011.
