Samuel Robert Moffett

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father Samuel Robert Moffett. He has gone to be with his Lord and Saviour. He is predeceased by his wife Margaret Blaney Moffett, his son Thomas, and his son in law Tom. He is survived by his 9 children Samuel (Nadine), Louise, Joyce (Al), Cecil (Donna), Sylvia (Marty), Colleen (Gord). Dave (Nancy), John (Diane) and Robert. He is survived by 14 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. He is also survived by his last surviving brother Jim Moffett. Samuel was the 7th of 8 children, born in Northern Ireland.

He was a master cabinet maker and a championship bike rider. Our father immigrated to Canada in 1957 with $75 in his pocket, knowing no one. He came to Canada to make a better life for his wife, 3 children (soon to be 4). He was able to provide a brand new home in Richmond, BC for his family to immigrate to within a year. He and our mother went on to have the last 5 children born in Canada. Our father was a well respected builder in Richmond for his entire life.

We want to especially thank our sister Louise who has devoted her life to taking care of our mother and father in the last years of their lives. There will be much rejoicing in heaven as he has gone to be with his loved ones. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16.

Please join us for a celebration of our fathers life on Saturday October 12th at West Richmond Gospel Hall 5651 Francis Road, Richmond BC at 10:00 o’clock. Interment to take place at Boundary Bay Cemetery Tsawwassen.

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence for the family.
