Mike Wellwood, former Treasurer and Business Administrator of the Diocese of New Westminster passed away on Friday, November 11th after a lengthy battle with cancer.
In the words of Executive Archdeacon of the Diocese, the Venerable Ronald Harrison, "Our former Business Administrator is well-known to many of you from his extraordinary service to dozens of parishes, recently and in the past, helping them with their accounting needs and problem-solving. Big-hearted, kindly and caring, Mike will be sorely missed. His contribution through the committees of General Synod as well as at the local level will long be remembered."
A Memorial Service for Mike is scheduled at St. Laurence, Coquitlam on Sunday, November 27th, at 3pm. Mike was a huge football fan so he would likely be amused that his service will begin at the same time as the 2011 Grey Cup game on Advent Sunday.
Please remember his wife Billie and all who were close to Mike in your prayers.
