'Friends Not Forgotten'
Reg.# 45194, Constable Jimmy Ng
Honour Roll #201
Hi Joe,Thank you for the excellent website you have created.
I have just recently found it and while researching names I found Jimmy Ng's name in the
database. I noticed the database indicates Jimmy is buried at 'Depot'?
Jimmy was on my watch in Duncan, B.C. and while his funeral was held in Richmond, BC his
ashes were buried in the Ng family plot on Saltspring Island, B.C.
His parents along with the members from his watch in Duncan Det. and Richmond Det. were
present at the burial and after the graveside service we all placed handfulls of dried
flowers from the memorial at Richmond Detachment, in his grave. It was a very moving service.
Thank you for allowing my imput.

Dear Blair;
We now know that Cst. NG was cremated. His remains were first buried in the Ganges Cemetery, Salt Spring Island, however, cemetery records show his remains were transferred to the RCMP 'Depot' Cemetery in Regina, SK in August, 2007

I'm currently posted at Depot as an instructor and have met Jimmy's parents several times when they attend the RCMP Memorial Parade in September. While they were there they went to see Jimmy's Grave and informed me of their decision to move his remains to Depot. They are dentists and often travel to third world countries to do Dental Work. They told me their decision to move Jimmy's ashes was becuase The small aircraft they often travel in are questionable in terms of safety. If something were to happen to them, they wanted to know that Jimmy's grave would be looked after. By moving him to Depot he will always be taken care of and would be among his peers and in a place that he had fond memories of.
