Fawcett, Rodney Owen
Rod passed away peacefully at his home in West Vancouver with his family by his side, on February 16, 2014. It was his 88th birthday. Born in Piapot, Saskatchewan in 1926. Rod spent much of his childhood in Grand Prairie, Alberta and Kenora, Ontario. After participating in the Allied liberation of Europe, he returned to Canada in 1946. Four years later he married Joan Goldsmith, in Salmon Arm, BC. Through Rod's work, their young family relocated several times, before settling in West Vancouver in 1964. Predeceased by Joan in 2005, Rod married life-long friend Edna Short in 2007, enjoying the last years of his life at his summer home in the Okanagan, the condo in Kihei, and travelling to many wonderful destinations. Rod will be greatly missed by his wife Edna, four children Carol, Robert (Tina), John (Carol), Grant (Hiroko), four grandchildren, Morgan, Lisa, James, and Mark as well as two step-children Donna Strickland and Ron Short (Laurie).
