In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
PASK, Charles Anthony (Tony) - Shawinigan Lake, BC Always one for adventure, Tony went on the road at 16 leaving Shelburne, NS, and crossing the country to fish off Prince Rupert. Returning to Nova Scotia, he worked odd jobs before joining the Navy. This launched a 25+year career that allowed him to travel the world from Alaska to San Francisco, Japan and Dubai as well as three tours of the Persian Gulf, gathering a wealth of friends and stories along the way. Everything was fair game for discussion, from politics and philosophy to the Montreal Canadiens' Stanley Cup chances or the New York Yankees' pitching prospects. Retiring as Chief Petty Officer, Tony had more time to play golf, which he enjoyed more for the camaraderie than the score. Ever up for a good debate (or crib or Scrabble), he loved to entertain friends and family with his legendary pastas, spiced with wit and washed down with liberal amounts of Pask-made vino or Captain Morgan. Tony prized good conversation, good books and good food, but above all, his family: Danni, Alex, and Mitchell, as well as family and friends from the East to the West Coast who will never forget him. No service will be held at Tony's request. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Cancer Society. A toast to Tony will take place at 413 Viaduct Ave West, Victoria, this Saturday, Nov. 1, at 3pm.
