August 1, 1941 - October 21, 2021
With cherished memories to comfort us and hearts grateful for a life well lived, we announce the peaceful passing of Daniel George Bard (80) at Penticton Regional Hospital, with his devoted wife Kay by his side.
Originally from Guelph ON, Dan will be forever missed by his loving family. He was very proud of his children; son Christopher (Rebecca) and daughter Catherine (Richard) along with four grandchildren Joshua, Sarah, Isabelle and Gavin. Also, his former spouse and mother to the children, Willemina (Hugh) Spencer, and his blended family in Ontario.
Remembering his lifelong antics are his siblings; brother William (Valerie), sister Susan, and brother Steven (Jeannette) and their families. Dan is predeceased by both parents, Leonard and Rogena.
Dan enjoyed his life's work and associations while living in Ontario. Always ready for an adventure, Dan joined the army out of high school and was deployed to Egypt for a short tour. After studying industrial engineering in college, he joined the workforce and progressed through the ranks in plant management.
Together Dan and Kay began their next adventure in the mid 1990s. With their RV in tow, they crossed Canada from coast to coast, eventually settling in BC. Dan was especially proud to have golfed in every province. With the lakes, beautiful views and small-town lifestyle, they chose Penticton as the ideal place to retire.
His loving generous nature and great tales of adventures lived will be missed by many. He would wish for all of you to be who you are, live your dreams, and love each other always. He is at rest with a song in his heart.
Dan was especially touched by children. In lieu of flowers, donations to a children's charity of your choice would be appreciated.
Per his wishes, there will be no service.
The family will gather at a future date for a commemoration.
