B次元官网网址� Sifu Moonfist
B次元官网网址⑩赌⑩赌�
Sifu Moonfist, better known as just Moonfist, has gained celebrity status in Sooke in recent weeks.
Moonfist has been tidying the community for years and has asked nothing in return.
First, he received a $500 honorarium from Sooke and last week was presented with a ceremonial cape at Stick in the Mud Coffee House for all of his efforts towards keeping Sooke clean.
But who is Moonfist and how did he end up in Sooke?
Moonfist grew up in Ottawa, the son of Patrick and Roma Colbert.
He got his name while practicing kung fu at the top of a cliff by Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
B次元官网网址淥n the top of that cliff I was punching as the harvest moon was rising, and when my hand would finish it was right in the heart of the harvest moon,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淎nd I heard a whisper, but I couldnB次元官网网址檛 make it out. Again, a whisper, but I still couldnB次元官网网址檛 make it out. And the third time I heard B次元官网网址淢oonfist!B次元官网网址�, no one was around, but I guess I just kept hearing myself internally, and when it came out it was like a B次元官网网址渨owB次元官网网址� moment. My name has been that ever since.B次元官网网址�
At the beginning of MoonfistB次元官网网址檚 working life, he started in the restaurant industry and worked as a sous-chef. Following that, he began working as a driver delivering computers around the city.
At this job he quickly found his love for technology and was promoted within the company. He was trained for his new position and shortly after began teaching people how to use program called Stacker.
B次元官网网址淭hey sat me down in front of a chalk board and taught me about computers. And I quickly became a person that people would contact to help them with storage problems. This was the point when I realized I was so technical.B次元官网网址�
Following on the path of working with technology, Moonfist started working in management with Bell Media, where he worked on a project that helped improve AlbertaB次元官网网址檚 medical, dental and pharmaceutical network.
In his mid 30s and working his dream job, Moonfist began noticing some unusual changes in himself. He started to get confused and forgetful, especially while driving.
Moonfist was diagnosed with late onset epilepsy, and by 2005-2006 underwent three brain surgeries, leaving him unable to continue working with Bell.
B次元官网网址淚 loved that job. I did it with every ounce of me,B次元官网网址� said Moonfist. B次元官网网址淚 would probably still be doing that. But I donB次元官网网址檛 miss it.B次元官网网址�
In 2007 after he retired, Moonfist and his wife Margret Jackson-Hughes decided to move to Sooke.
David Evans, owner of Stick in the Mud Coffee House, said Moonfist is their go-to person whenever they having a computer issue at the coffee shop.
B次元官网网址淗e started coming in the Stick very shortly after we opened, and he was always doing wonderful things like teaching kids how to box or teaching them martial arts for free. People see him on the street and they might make a judgment about who he is or where he came from, but he really has a diverse past and is quite an interesting fella,B次元官网网址� said Evans.
B次元官网网址淗eB次元官网网址檚 completely selfless, and eternally patient.B次元官网网址�
Shortly after living here, Moonfist said he would walk around and often find nails along the roads, along with tons of litter. Seeing this upset him, so one day he gathered up a bunch of trash and nails from the streets, carried it over to the Sooke B次元官网网址 Mirror and laid it out.
He began to holler at the top of his lungs while banging his broom on the ground. Then suddenly he stopped, walked away, and started sweeping the streets; he has been doing it every day since.
Moonfist has been beautifying Sooke for years now, and said he plans to keep doing it until he is no longer able to. His good deeds have not gone unnoticed, as he has become a great role model within the community, and started a domino effect of volunteers making efforts to keep Sooke clean.
