It is with deep sadness that we report the sudden loss of John Rockley of Coastal Colour Printing in Parksville.

John was a long-time member and champion of the Qualicum Beach Chamber of Commerce, a personal friend to the Board and staff - and a great golfer.

He will be sorely missed. Our condolences to his family, partners, employees and friends.

A celebration of John's life will take place at Pheasant Glen Golf Course on Tuesday October 4 at 2 pm.
