We regret to advise of the unexpected death of Sapper Vernon Victor Adams (Ret’d) at home in Port Alberni BC on 10 July 2004. Victor was 85 years old when he died.
Vernon was born in Rosetown SK. He was a sapper during the Second World War and served in Northwest Europe. He married his English wife in 1945 having a daughter born that same year. When he returned to Canada, he settled on the West Coast starting a long-term career with MacMillan & Blodel at the pulp and paper mill in Port Alberni BC. He and his wife went on to have four more children. He was also a long-serving member of the Royal Canadian Legion.
A graveside service will be held at 1:30 PM at the Greenwood Cemetery Field of Honour on Josephine Street followed by a tea at the Port Alberni Legion on 4th Avenue. Instead of flowers, donations to the Legion will be appreciated by the family.
