Fernie passed away peacefully, and bravely at his choosing, in Victoria, BC on December 13, 2016 at the age of 90. He was predeceased by Claire Wells, his partner of 38 years. He is lovingly remembered by his daughter Lynn Duplessis of Victoria and his son Gene Duplessis (Jean) of Peterborough; granddaughters Deanna Duplessis (Chris McQuinn) of Toronto, Kate-Lynn Duplessis (Chris Pulfer) and great grandchildren Maya and Owen of Ottawa; good friend and niece Irene Dickinson of Calgary. Special thanks to Dr. Gilbert Chew for his years of expertise and compassionate care.
Fernie was a very industrious, hard-working and gentle man who took on many diverse business endeavors. He was an accomplished musician playing guitar, bass and keyboards and cut hair well into his 91st year. He loved gardening, fixing things and creating masterpieces in the kitchen. He relished his time playing the dogs, Oso and Kika. A veteran of WW2, his friendly face will be missed by all in the neighborhood.
