CONLIN Ralph H.

Vancouver Sun February 13, 2009 (Friday)
Passed away peacefully at Vancouver General Hospital in his 91^st year. Survived by Daphne, his loving wife of 65 years, his sister, Dorothy Stevenson in Regina, daughter Carol (Ed) Chanter in Prince George and son Gordon (Cecilia) Conlin in Mississauga. Lovingly remembered by his four grandchildren: Christopher and Julia Chanter and John and David Conlin. And of course, his beloved cat, Hypes.

Ralph's life is truly one to be celebrated. He was a child of the Great Depression, raised on a farm near Regina by Herbert and Gertrude Conlin. Like so many prairie men, he enlisted in the Canadian Navy as a lieutenant in World War II and travelled to the Maritimes where he met his wife-to-be Daphne in St. John's, Newfoundland. After the war, Ralph and Daphne moved to Saskatoon where he obtained his B.A. and B. Accounting degrees at the University of Saskatchewan and subsequently his C.A. designation. They were soon blessed with Carol, their first child and then, after moving to Vancouver, a second child, Gordon. Throughout their sixty years in Vancouver, Ralph and Daphne cultivated and were blessed by a growing circle of close friends who have surrounded them with love and compassion to this day.

Ralph's work as a C.A. led to the founding of his own practice. Through amalgamation, he became a partner in Price Waterhouse until his retirement in 1982. A lifelong contributor to the profession, Ralph worked on practice reviews for the Institute of Chartered Accountants of B.C. and volunteered for the Deaf Children's Society of B.C. until well after retirement. He was also active in Kiwanis, giving selflessly of his time while claiming the Kiwanis bridge trophy as his own for many years. Ralph could always be found on Saturday and Sunday mornings at the first tee at Marine Drive Golf Club, followed by a game of bridge in the men's bullpen. His bridge partners will sorely miss his card skills; his opponents will be relieved. Ralph will always be remembered for his steady demeanour, his passion for providing a better life for his family and his love of a good joke.

Ralph's funeral will be held at Shaughnessy Heights United Church (1550 West 33^rd Avenue, Vancouver) on February 16, 2009 at 2 p.m. with a reception to follow in the church hall. Flowers gratefully declined. The family welcomes donations in memoriam to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of B.C. (By Phone: 1-888-473-4636 or Online: www.heartandstroke.bc.ca). Email condolences can be sent to conling@rogers.com and/or echanter@shaw.ca
(To all Ralph's friends and family: Go in Peace. Live generously, speak truthfully, serve faithfully, pray daily and leave everything else to God.)
