Canada Remembrance Day - Death on One Kitsilano Block

The following story is written on a rock plaque located at Park Site 2601 Point Grey Road (@ Trafalgar Street) in Kitsilano, Vancouver.

Death On One Kitsilano Block

Edna McGillvray, November 1999

I have lived in my home for eighty 

seven years. This is how death affected

 one Kitsilano block, from 1st Avenue to

2nd Avenue on Trafalgar.

We lost the following boys in World

War II: Billy Vandervoort, Bobby Mathers,

Gordon Mantle (our paper boy) and the

two Worthington brothers, Don and Jack.

Don was in command at Falaise in France,

and his brother served under him. Their

father was Dr. Worthington, who owned

the Cut Rate Drug Stores. He had a community

centre for cards and teas built at

4th and Trafalgar in their memory.

It is long gone now.

The sad but inspiring story about the two only sons of Dr.Worthington written by Colonel (retired) Keith D. Maxwell, OMM, CD is in the following link: The Worthington Brothers
