VINCENT OLIVER HASKER May 11, 2014 Vince was born at a very young age in The Pas, Manitoba and retained much of his childlike joy throughout his 89 years. Vince was a wonderful photographer who loved to sing and especially to dance. He was a man of many talents who had an appreciation of all things creative. Imbued with a wonderful sense of humour and a gift for storytelling, Vince loved to hear other people's stories and to share his own. His greatest joy however, came from being with the people he loved. Predeceased by his wife Marjorie (Bond) and brother Bryant, Vince is survived by his brother Wallace (Jean), his children - Ann van der Griendt (Hank), Betty Hasker (Glorie), Cyndy Gibson, Duncan Hasker (Suzanne), seven grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and by his companion, Anne Walker. Services were held for the family on May 14, 2014 in Nanaimo, BC. A celebration of his life will take place at 1:30 p.m. at the Christ Church - Anglican on July 17, 2014 in The Pas. The family would like to thank the staff and residents of Kiwanis Village in Nanaimo for their kindness and care of Vince, and the ICU staff of Nanaimo General Hospital for their incredible compassion. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in Vincent's name be made to either of these two fine facilities. Vince always marched to the beat of his own drum and will be missed.
