We cannot name people who may still be living - you need to remove that name. 
No it wasn't him - read the obit again. Lives in Coquitlam BC - will send you a link.
Try using Canada 411 to see if you can locate people mentioned.

Have never heard of people having difficulties contacting a Canadian Library - they are usually very good at replying quickly.

Hi,

There is an interview from 1979 of miner Albert Steele for the Coal Tyee History Project.
This project was to document the history of coal mining on Vancouver Island.

There is a PDF file and an Audio file. They are large files. The PDF file is very legible,
but unfortunately the Audio is almost inaudible. In the interview he mentions that his
son works for Harmac which matches up with Sandra's find of his obit.

Hi,

Apparently all or part of that interview with Albert appears in a book by author Lynne
Bowen called "Boss Whistle - The Coal Miners of Vancouver Island remember."
