In Loving Memory
Herb John Ransbury
It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we announce the passing of Herb on December 28, 2024, at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. He was a devoted husband, a wonderful father, and a loving grandfather. Herb is survived by his beloved wife of 35 years, Franca Ransbury; his sons, Justin and Andrew; and his daughter, Nancy, whom he affectionately called “Princess.” He also leaves behind four cherished grandchildren. Additionally, he is survived by his dear sister, Gail Stroud, and a wonderful family in Ontario, Canada. Herb lived life on his own terms and was always there to lend a helping hand. He served as a beacon in his local communities, working as the local cable technician for over 35 years, beginning his career in Ontario and concluding it at 65 with Shaw Cable in Powell River. In lieu of flowers, we kindly request that you consider making a donation to your local food bank in memory of Herb Ransbury, as this cause held a special place in his heart. We will hold a small service at Cypress Funeral Home in Armstrong, BC, on January 8th, 2025, from 11 AM to 1 PM. Toronto Maple leaf attire is requested for service, no suits or formal wear. Additionally, in April, we will organize a Celebration of Life that reflects Herb’s wishes. For April RSVP to this email [email protected] , where you will be informed of the date, time and location when more information becomes available

Will miss you buddy.
Herbie was a super nice guy , he will be sadly missed by all that knew him. My deepest sympathy to Franca and the family .
Uncle Herbie was a wonderful person very special to me. He was more like my big brother. He always looked out for me. He once locked me in a bathroom so I wouldn’t go join a band and tour on the road. I am so thankful he did. He was such an influence on who I am today. See you in the stars Uncle xoxo
I remember Herb from years ago when he worked as a “cable guy” in Squamish. He would come to the Cliffside Pub when we had issues. Always very pleasant and nice guy. So sorry for your loss. May he Rest in Peace.
Our deepest condolences to Franca and family in your great loss. Our hearts go out to you. Herb was a great neighbour as were all of your family, when we lived on Spruce Drive in Valleycliffe.
– Marion and Chris Lindsay and family.
I knew Herb and Franca from Squamish, always nice talking to both of them. Herb always enjoyed a good laugh. Condolences to Franca and family. RIP Herb.
Dear Franca, I remember the glow of love that always seemed to surround you when the two of you were together. I just can’t find the words to tell you how sorry I am to hear the news of his passing. Take care Franca and always know you were loved by a very good man. Hugs.
Very sad to hear about Herb’s passing. We remember swimming in their pool that was in the back yard of their home in Valleycliffe, Squamish, BC. Very nice man, and so is Franka. Hugs and condolences to Franka and her family!
