Pete and Audree Rees have lived on Thetis Island for well over a half a century and we were saddened to be called out to Pete’s residence on Clam Bay Road on March 23rd where he passed away.
He was in his 98th year and was still very active. Pete started the Thetis Island Fire Department with Harry Armstrong 40 years ago and was our first Fire Chief. Before permanently moving to Thetis he spent almost three decades in the Vancouver Fire Department, retiring as a Fire Captain.
On May 14th, at Forbes Hall, we will celebrate Pete’s life and honour his memory with a Fire Service memorial and a community gathering with his family, friends and neighbours.
All are welcome.
