Published in The Times Colonist, Victoria, B.C. from Jan. 10 to Jan. 11, 2015 - Photo with Obit. Maurice Chazottes (April 09, 1925 - January 02, 2015) Obituary It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Maurice Chazottes from kidney disease in Victoria. Maurice was born in Harrogate, England to French-speaking parents. He entered journalism in 1945, first in weekly and daily newspapers and later in national magazines. Maurice immigrated to Canada in 1957 with his wife Daphne and their two older children, where he became a senior editor with Maclean-Hunter in Toronto and helped to launch the Medical Post. In 1971, Maurice and Daphne visited the west coast and within three months had moved to Victoria. Maurice became BC's Chief of Hansard, and later worked in public communications with the Ministry of Health and Government Information Services. After his retirement in 1985, Maurice served as councillor and then mayor for North Saanich. In 2013, Maurice was awarded the Diamond Jubilee Medal for his many public service contributions. Maurice will be fondly remembered for his quick wit, extensive knowledge of random facts, and love of nature, travel and cats. He will be sadly missed by his wife of 67 years, Daphne, and his three children, Delphine (Doug), Julian Paul (Deni), Louise (Paul), his grandchildren, Michael, Ryan, Paul (Claire), Aaron, Jordan, Jenessa, and his three great-grandchildren, Reid, Louise and Ramona. No relation, passed for list info only. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com
