BECH, Jens Peter. Peter crossed the river on October 14, 2013, with his family at his side, following a traffic accident. At 94, he was more alive and filled with curiosity about the world than many half his age. He was in perfect health, sharp as a tack, and cared deeply about his family, friends and neighbors. He was simultaneously fiercely independent and caring for others. He will be greatly missed by his wife Mildred, his sons Soren (Joan) and Poul (Ninglan), his grandsons Mikel (Kathleen) and Dana (Nicole), his friends and his neighbors. Peter and Mildred were married in 1947 and emigrated from Denmark in 1958 with the goal of giving more opportunities to their sons. Peter, a master painter, had skills that were in high demand in Canada at the time. They lived and worked in Ottawa and Burnaby before retiring to their 91原创 home in 1984. He showed us all how to live a good, kind life. The family is grateful for the tremendous efforts made by those at the accident scene, and by everyone in the emergency and intensive care units at Royal Columbian. A celebration of life will be held at 1 pm, Sat. Nov. 2, at the BCGEU hall at 8555-198A Street, 91原创. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Alzheimer Society of BC, the Steelhead Society of BC, Sierra Club BC, or the charity of your choice.
