  Rines
- J. Creighton Passed away at home on
Monday, October 19, 2009 at the age of 70.
He was the beloved husband of Elenor Wardrop,
and father of LeDonna Bussineau (Mark) and
Allan Rines (Kathy), grandfather of Dean and
Maxine. Creighton is also survived by his
sister Isabelle (Thomas) Johnson, his
brother Kenneth (Jackie) Rines, and his
brother-in-law Emile Kuzyk. Creighton was
predeceased by his wife Roberta, his parents
Charles Creighton and Kathleen Rines, his
brother Allan, and his sister Donna. Born in
Princeton, Creighton moved to Quesnel as a
teenager. For a time he drove truck; he knew
all the stops and mail boxes on Highway 97
between Ashcroft and Prince George. His
fulfilling 40-year career at Weldwood of
Canada left him with many good memories, and
in retirement Creighton missed the daily
contact with his many friends and
colleagues. With more free time, Creighton
golfed, travelled, and spent treasured time
with family and friends. He became
increasingly active in Freemasonry. Having
served as Master in his Mother Lodge, he
took on the roles of Grand Steward, District
Deputy Grand Master, District Education
Director, and Master in another Lodge. He
was also a companion of the Royal Arch.
Diagnosed with Wegener's Granulomatosis in
2001 Creighton confidently underwent
treatment and enjoyed several more years of
good health. He appreciated the kind and
thorough care he received at Cariboo
Memorial Hospital and at St. Paul's
Hospital. Creighton will be missed. A
funeral service will be held on Monday,
October 26, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. at the Quesnel
& District Seniors' Centre, 461 Carson
Avenue. In lieu of flowers, please consider
a donation to the Vasculitis Foundation
Canada (Wegener's disease) at Suite 446, 425
Hespeler Road, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada,
N1R 8J6.
