Kenneth HALLAS

HALLAS, Kenneth. Kenneth Hallas passed away peacefully in his eighty-fourth year on October 31, 2008 at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. Beloved husband of the late Hazel Hallas, Kenneth was born and raised in Montreal. After devoting his youth to protecting the future of his country as a WWII Veteran, he dedicated himself to raising a family with the same commitment and integrity. He strived for nothing but the best for his wife and children and instilled values for them to live by. This proud man and father leaves behind his four sons: Ken Jr. of Vernon, B.C., Ian (wife Donna) of Montreal, PQ, Neil (wife Michelle) of Vernon, B.C. and Craig (Fiance Tanya) of Mississauga, ON. He will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren Brandie (Derrick), Jason (Brieanne), Tyler, Jordan, Zachary, Keenan, Alex, Dylan and Ryley; great-grandchildren River, Silken, Hailey and Dylan, as well as countless nieces, nephews and friends who couldn't say enough about him as a man.
