<div itemprop="description">Gary John Valiquette passed away suddenly on Dec. 30, 2016 at Saanich Peninsula Hospital. He was born Oct. 20, 1945 in Quebec City, PQ, to Marion and Howard Valiquette. <br> <br>Gary spent his youth in Marathon, ON, where he graduated high school before earning his B.S. in Finance and Banking at the U of North Dakota, and his MBA from the U of Nebraska, Omaha. <br> <br>In 1975 he married Alice Heim. They began their married life in Terrace Bay, ON before moving to Saanichton, BC in 1979. Gary was an auditor, and then Lease Administrator with BCBC. Gary believed strongly in community involvement and so after six years on the APC, he ran and served as a councilor for the District of Central Saanich for two terms. Gary enjoyed his neighbourhood and especially the yard. He always had time to stop, share a story, comment on pets, or just enjoy the view. <br> <br>Gary celebrated every young life (no matter the age) and offered encouragement, positive ideas and a little bit of wisdom, always with humour. <br> <br>Gary is survived by Alice, his sister Patti (Brian) MacMillan, brother Rob (Mary Jane) Valiquette, in-laws, numerous nephews, nieces, cousins and friends north and south of the border. His mother, father and sister, Mary, predeceased him. <br> <br>Special thanks to Fr. Rolf Hasenack, OP, Dr. Richard Reid, Dr. David Fenton, Dr. Sally Smith, Dr. Richard Phillips, Dr. P. Houghton, BC Cancer Agency and especially Saanich Peninsula Hospital. <br> <br>A memorial mass will be held Wed. January 11, 2017 - 10 AM at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church - 10030 Third St., Sidney, BC. <br> <br> <br></div>
