GARY HOWARD BEAN Gary Howard Bean, 78, of Port Coquitlam, BC passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Gary was born June 3, 1936 in Winnipeg to parents Lionel and Freda Bean. Gary worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway for 39 years and married the love of his life, Violet (Pacholek) Bean. Together they had a daughter and son. Gary's commitment and hard work ethic allowed him to advance with the company and relocate to several provinces throughout Canada over the course of his career. His wife and children always by his side, it was quite an adventure! Gary was preceded in death by wife Violet, parents, and his stepfather, Nick Mudrosky. He is survived by his son Darrin of Port Coquitlam, daughter Sandra (husband Terry) of Salem, Oregon, granddaughters Amanda and Telaney, sister Joan and brother-in-law Ron of Winnipeg, and nieces and nephews. Those who know him and those fortunate enough to meet him, witnessed a kind soul and true gentleman. A wonderful husband, loving father, brother, grandpa and uncle who will forever be missed.
