In Loving Memory ~
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dale Irving on August 10/24.
Dale was predeceased by his parents Reg and Ellen Irving and his brothers Reg and Dennis.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years Barbara, his Sons Bruce Dallas (Ilana) and Darcy (Amanda), his 5 beloved grandchildren, as well as his sister Donna (Blair) and sister-in-law Pat and several nieces and nephews and many friends.
Dale was born and raised in Nanaimo. In 1969 he moved to Port Alberni to work for B.C Tel where he spent his entire working career.
He always enjoyed music and played in bands in his youth. He also enjoyed sports & played fastpitch for years and helped coach kids teams.
Dale was a kind and generous man who was always willing to lend a helping hand. He loved animals and was happiest with his beloved dog Buddy. He had a wonderful sense of humor and kept smiling throughout his illness.
The family would like to thank Dr. Kristine Woodley and Dr. Steve Kulla and all the wonderful medical professionals Dale met over his 3-year cancer battle.
At Dale's insistence there will be no memorial.
