In Loving Memory ~

Vernon "Vern" Edward Kaspick, better known to family and friends as "Kas" or "Dadsie," passed away peacefully at Cairnsmore Place on January 2, 2025.

Vern was born in Eden Manitoba on October 12, 1930. He moved to Vancouver Island when he was 22 and mostly worked construction jobs.

He got a job with JL Peterson Construction and worked for him for many years until starting KD Construction with Dave Dame. Even after he retired, Vern kept busy doing odd construction jobs for people.

Outside of work, Vern was an avid curler. He attended the Brier twice (1960 & 1963). Even though he played in many bonspiels at various curling rinks on Vancouver Island, he did not reach his goal of playing at all of them. He also enjoyed camping, fishing, golfing, and watching ice hockey. In his later years, he liked to do jigsaw puzzles and word puzzles, listen to country music, and putter around the yard.

He also volunteered at the Cowichan Exhibition Grounds every Monday and went for lunch every Wednesday with the ROMEO (Retired Old Men Eating Out) group.

One of his proudest accomplishments was building Lakeside Six with friends. He enjoyed many fun times there, especially soc hops and poker nights in the rec hall.

Many will remember him for his kindness, smile, and chuckling.

Vern will be missed by his daughter Janice, son Bert, stepson Randy (Cathy), grandchildren Jenny (Mike), Jessica, Corey, Cameron, Spencer (Kendal), Katie, great-grandchild Jett, his sisters Phylis and Verla, and his sister-in-law Betty.

Vern is predeceased by his loving wife of 64 years, Sharon, and his stepson, Jerry.

The family would like to thank the wonderful folks at Cairnsmore Place for taking great care of Dad.

Donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada. As per Dad's wishes, cremation has taken place and a service will not be held.
