Obituary

With sadness the staff of Eastend Ambulance Service, Cypress Health Region, announce the passing of Charles Goulet (Charlie) of Eastend.  His passing came peacefully on February 27, 2010 after a short battle with cancer. 

Charlie settled in Eastend in 1967 and was always very active within the community.  He became actively involved with the ambulance service in 1977 and this quickly became his passion, as he devoted 32 years of his life to EMS.  He will be sadly missed within the community as well as the EMS world.

The funeral service will be held on Friday, March 5, 2010, 2pm at the Eastend Memorial Hall.
