Cecil William Weibe

At the age of 95, surrounded by family and listening to some of his favourite gospel music Cecil left us to be reunited in heaven with Rose, the love of his life.

Born in Saskatchewan, he lived for a short time in Mexico as a child before returning to Canada. He met and married Rose moving steadily west through northern Alberta and BC and then finally settling in the Vancouver area. Cecil worked in the oil fields, Mission Orange Beverages, a battery plant, and then as a delivery driver for Dairyland, Silverwoods, Peter's Ice Cream and NOCA Dairy before moving into driving semi tractor trucks. He was an elder, the head of the children's ministry and played guitar in worship services at various churches he attended over the years.

Cecil enjoyed the outdoors, camping, hunting and road trips across Canada. We fondly remember his warm hugs, wrestling on the couch, counting cars, swimming in the backyard pool, watching trains and careening down the snowy slopes of Burnaby Mountain.

He will be remembered for his humour, the way his eyes lit up when he smiled and the love he had for his family and friends.

Cecil is dearly missed by his son Robert (Peggy), daughter Carol (Ron), grandchildren Krista (Michael), Veronica, Stephanie and great grandchildren Amelia and Isaac.
