It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Henry (George) Threlfall of Surrey, B.C. on September 27, 2019 after a long struggle with lung cancer. Henry is predeceased by his parents George and Marjorie and his dear sister Dawn. He will be dearly missed by his loving wife and lifelong friend Mary Frances (nee Eason) and close brother Ronald (Ron) as well as many family members, nieces, nephews and friends. Henry’s passions in life were extensive travel, racing cars and sailing which he shared fondly with Mary. After joining the Richmond Fire Department at a young age, he worked his way through the ranks, finally retiring as Chief Training Officer. Henry thought of his career as a profession which lead him to the Justice Institute of B.C. where he instructed fire related courses and eventually became Site Manager of the campus in Maple Ridge. A Funeral Mass will be held on October 17, 2019 at 11:00 am at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church, 16079 - 88th Ave. Surrey, B.C. There will be a gathering after Mass at the Church Hall.
