BEZANSON, Harold A. "Buzz"
November 30, 1935 - September 26, 2012

With his children by his side, Buzz passed away peacefully after several years of declining health.

Predeceased by his wife Patricia, Buzz is survived by his son Allen, daughter Sandi and son- in-law Tom and son Steve as well as his grandchildren Alex, Kevin, Hayley, Ally and Bethany.

Buzz was born in Windsor, Nova Scotia. He enlisted in the RCAF in 1952 at age 17 and was stationed in Ottawa. Some of his fondest memories were of his experiences as a drummer, travelling with the RCAF Rockcliffe Pipe Band. In 1957 he was transferred to Air Division HQ in Metz, France. Buzz had wonderful experiences while stationed in Europe, not the least of which was meeting the love of his life, Patricia Gray, also a member of the RCAF. They married in 1958. A transfer in 1961 brought the family, now including Allen and Sandi, to the West Coast of Canada - Richmond, BC, where youngest son Steve was born. After leaving the Air Force in 1966, Buzz had a career in sales until his retirement in 1995. Buzz and Pat lived in Richmond for 37 years before moving to Cloverdale. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #6 and was proud of his involvement with the Amos Ferguson Manor. After losing Pat in 2004 and suffering a stroke in 2006 Buzz returned to Richmond where he spent his final years.

The family wishes to thank Dr. M. Frey, the compassionate staff of Pinegrove Place Care Home and his special caregiver Helen. We are also grateful for the love and support given to Buzz by his companion Karen. In respect of Buzz's wishes there will be no memorial service.²

BEZANSON - Patricia Moana (nee Gray) passed away unexpectedly on June 8, 2004 in St. Paul's Hospital at the age of 69.

A true daughter of Canada, Pat was born July 1, 1934 in Elk Point, Alberta and was raised in Little Red River and Fort Vermillion in Alberta's Peace River Country. After attending high school in Edmonton, Pat enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and served in Ontario and Quebec as well as with NATO in Metz, France. It was in Metz that she met and married Buzz and where her two eldest children were born. A transfer in 1960 took them to Richmond, BC, where her youngest son was born. They lived in Richmond for 37 years before moving to Cloverdale.

Special thanks to Drs. Frey and Firmer and the staff of 4 North at Richmond Hospital, as well as Drs. Webb and Tang and staff of the CCU at St. Paul's Hospital, with particular thanks to Harold. In keeping with Pat's wishes, the family will have a private memorial.²
