Earl Robert Adin Mycock

Earl Mycock was a warm, caring and loving man who died at the age of 88 in Parksville BC.  Dad will be forever loved and missed by his daughters Carolyn and Debbie, son-in-laws Ernie and Armand, grandkids Jaimie and Ariana and Amanda and Martin, Chris, Jason and Julieanne and great grandchildren Serge and Shelby. 

Earl lived in Victoria for many years and has many good friends and memories from Victoria and Parksville.  Dad’s last few months were wonderful and filled with so much love from his granddaughter Amanda and her partner Martin.  Even though he could not walk, they filled his last few months with good conversation, and many outdoor trips and outings.  They visited the hospital daily and he really appreciated their caring and compassion. 

Dad told me that he so loved his few remaining family and friends.  To mention a few, Darryl, Ernie, June and Clara and his grandson Jaimie and Jason and his nephews.  They kept dad’s life FULL of happiness in his last years and he loved their phone calls.  Amanda and Martin were so kind as to take dad on adventures and were by his side from the first moment to the last, going to see him everyday.  He was so appreciative.  Dad especially loved his dog Skye.  He taught Skye to get his walker for him, to close the door, to pick up anything he dropped.  Dad adored his dog.

He was also so thankful for his daughter Carolyn and husband Ernie who cared for him, looked after his home and dog and really will miss him so much.  His wish from them is that they stay with him so that he could stay living at home, sit on his deck and appreciate his years of hard work on his property, which he got to do.  His family, grandkids, Ernie and his daughters will love him forever.

FOR THOSE I LOVE, FOR THOSE WHO LOVE ME 

When I am gone, release me, let me go 

I have so many things to see and do 

You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears 

Be happy that we had so many years 

I gave you my love 

You can only guess 

How much you gave me of happiness 

I thank you for the love you all have shown 

But now it is time I travelled on alone 

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must 

Then let your grief be comforted by trust 

It is only for awhile that we must part 

So bless the memories within your heart 

I won’t be far away, for life goes on 

So if you need me, call and I will come 

Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near 

If you listen with your heart, you’ll hear 

All my love around you, soft and clear 

And then, when you must come this way alone 

I’II greet you with a smile and “Welcome Home”
