Anthony (Tony) Whittall

WHITTALL Anthony (Tony) Capt. (Rt'd) With deep sadness we announce the death on April 3, 2008, of my husband and friend. Tony was born on February 24, 1936, in Shrewsbury, England. Following his formal education, he was conscripted into the RAF, where he attained the rank of Sergeant. His visit to Canada as a teenager beckoned him back to this great country, where he served with the Canadian Forces for thirty years as a communications technician and Electronic Specialist Officer. Having lived from coast to coast to coast, Sidney was his obvious retirement haven. This great community allowed him opportunities to again serve, as a Town Councilor, Chair of the Peninsula Water Commission, and the first chair of the waste water committee. Tony also served and participated in the many community committees supporting the Town's Vision Project. As the chair of the Sidney Ratepayers Association, he was often called upon to provide advice and ideas on the Town's political activities. An avid hiker, he was familiar with all the hiking trails on the Peninsula. He served for many years as the chair of the Friends of John Dean Provincial Park Society. He climbed mountains in the Yukon and Vancouver Island, he sport and commercially fished salmon in Newfoundland and Vancouver Island. In this life, Tony was able to accomplish most of his boyhood dreams. Holding a U.K. private pilots license for powered and sailplane flying, his first solo flight was at the age of fourteen years. Having done his duty to family and country, he considered his departure from this world as the ultimate flight to await loved ones, meet old friends and to continue his walks with his deceased poodle, Sasha. He leaves to mourn for a while, his wife, Patricia; son, Anthony; and daughters, Elizabeth, Heather (Luke), and Sarah (David); his sister, Ann (Havard); his hiking friend, Jim Sandwith; his grandchildren; and great-grandchild. No service by request. A memorial service if you want with the drinks on Tony.
