"41 (Royal Marine) Commando
2nd Battalion. Parachute Regiment
Canadian Scottish Regiment
Farmer, Public Servant"
Passed away at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital at the age of 84. Pat will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Patricia Robison, his son Robert (Barbara), his daughter Susan Arkwright, his grandchildren, Patrick and Tessa C-M and Shawn and Robyn Arkwright, his stepsons, Barrie (Leslie) and Zane, his brother Robin (Geraldine) of Majorca, his sister Juliana (Louis) Galea of Florida, and his former wife Di (Michael) Anton of Mexico. Pat was born the eldest son of Douglas and Molly (nee Bomford Emerson) Chaworth-Musters, and grew up in Bedford, England. A classical Greek and Latin student, he was educated at Bedford School. His love for all things botanical included knowing both the Latin and common names for almost all plants and trees he ever saw. Commissioned in the Royal Armoured Corp, he volunteered for the Commandos and went to Holland just after the Walcheren landing with 41 Royal Marine Commando. After the war, 4 Commando Brigade was disbanded and he volunteered for the Parachute Regiment spending a year in Palestine with the 2nd Battalion. He emigrated to BC in 1951, farming near Mill Bay, and becoming a charter director of the Egg Marketing Board. Pat joined the 66th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment in Duncan, that later became the Canadian Scottish Regiment, serving as Captain. He was appointed Honourary Aide-de-Camp to BC’s Lieutenant Governor, George Pearkes (1962-68). After leaving the farm in 1967, he joined the Provincial Civil Service becoming a Senior Rentalsman, and later a liquor inspector. Retiring in 1990, he built up a fleet of three landing craft in Nanaimo, servicing the Gulf Islands, before retiring for good to enjoy his sailboat. Special thanks to Gloria Jorg and Moe Foucher who visited Pat, supporting him and helping him through his long struggle with Parkinson's Disease and Prostate Cancer. Special thanks also to the nurses and staff who took such excellent care of him at Dover House these past two years. A graveside service will take place at St. Andrew’s Church Cemetery, Courtenay at 12:30 on Tuesday, 26 Jan.
