In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
HENDRY, Ian G. - Born in Selkirk, Manitoba to (late) Evelyn and Willian Hendry, he was predeceased by his loving wife Audrey, just 11 months ago. He was also predeceased by his brothers Bill, Russell and Don. Dad joined the Navy in 1950. After serving in Korea he returned to Selkirk where he and Mom were married. He re-enlisted in 1955 and was drafted to Victoria. He and Mom were residents of Esquimalt since that time. Dad served with the RCN for 21 years. These years were often reflected with interesting stories. After retiring from military life Ian went on to be Food Service Manager at Glendale Lodge / Tillicum Lodge and Oak Bay Lodge. He is survived by his children Kim (Ed), Bruce (Pina) and Shawn, 7 grandchildren (Sherri, Brandi, Brent, Kaitlyn, Angelina, Morgan and Shellsea) and 8 great grandchildren (Avari, Chase, Cole, Karley, Codi, Brianna, Brody and Blake). The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to Dr. Ian Bridger and the Drs. and nurses at VGH for their care and compassion. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 22 at 10:00 a.m. at First Memorial (Royal Oak). Donations can be made to Chief and Petty Officer's Association in his memory.
