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
