It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Satpaul (Paul) Singh Dhillon — a beloved husband, proud father, uncle, cousin, and dear friend. Paul passed away peacefully at his family home in Kamloops on September 16, 2025, at the age of 64.

Home, family, and fun were Paul’s greatest values. Born and raised in Kamloops, BC, alongside his three siblings, Paul built a life rooted in love, laughter, and connection. He raised his two children, Brandon and Kacey, with his wife of 38 years, Parminder. Paul instilled these same values in his children and was deeply committed to giving them every opportunity to succeed. He showed incredible perseverance and strength throughout his life, always working hard to provide a stable and loving home.

From a young age, Paul was a determined worker, taking on multiple jobs to support his passions—especially his love for cars. He had a particular fondness for his BMW convertible and his Porsche 911. Paul also loved traveling with his family, with memorable trips to New York, Ottawa, and Las Vegas among his favorites.

Paul remained closely connected to the Kamloops community throughout his life. A devoted Blazers and Canucks fan, he rarely missed a game, often watching and cheering alongside his best friend, Steve. His deep local roots were reflected in the countless friendships he built. Often described as the life of the party, Paul was vibrant, friendly, and outgoing. He had a rare gift for making people feel instantly welcome and valued. It seemed like he knew everyone in town—and everyone who knew him will remember his warmth, humor, and magnetic spirit.

Paul was predeceased by his mother, Gian Kaur; his father, Tara Singh; and his niece, Stephanie. He is survived by his loving wife, Parminder; his son, Brandon (Danielle); his daughter, Kacey; his siblings, Dave (Narinder), Sheila, and Kathy; and many cherished nieces, nephews, and family friends.

A celebration of Paul’s life will be held at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive, on Tuesday, September 23rd at 11 a.m. Following the service and cremation, prayers and a reception will be held at the Kamloops Sikh Temple, 700 Cambridge Crescent.

In lieu of flowers, and if so desired, the family kindly asks that donations be made to the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation in memory of his niece, Stephanie.

Paul’s legacy is one of laughter, connection, and love. His memory will live on in the stories, smiles, and hearts of all those who had the absolute fortune to know him.

Gordon was born September 25, 1922 in Kamloops to Jack & Elsie Drinkwater and peacefully departed this world on September 14, 2025, just shy of his 103rd birthday.

He was blessed with many amazing grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends. Gord was predeceased by his wife Pat in 2014 and his brother Doug in 2018.

Dad was a passionate drummer and always had sticks and a practice pad close at hand. On the weekends his kids would help him get ready to go play dances. We ironed hankies, shined shoes and carried his drums to the car. Prior to the war years he played in the RMR Military Band, Kamloops Legion, Junior and Senior Symphonies. He also played dances with the Blue Bird Orchestra under Victor Arduini and played many years with the Kamloops Big Band, Kamloops Jazz band and numerous other musical groups.

On July 8,1940 he joined the permanent World War II army as a bandsman. In 1943 he spent eight brutal months in the Aleutian Islands on the Kiska Campaign. In 1944 he went overseas with the Irish Fusiliers band and ultimately ended up in the Canadian Army Band Pool in Aldershot, UK and was posted to several bands in Holland and Belgium from 1944 – 1945. He returned to Canada
in 1946.

In 1949 he met the love of his life and in 1950 they were married. Over the next 10 years they had five children. With skiing in the winter and a cabin at Shuswap in the summer, life was busy. Dad loved to sail and as with the innumerable cars he had over the decades, the same went for sailboats.

Dad was an appraiser for the BC Land Registry and; retired in 1980 after 33.5 years. Life stayed busy with world travel, skiing until the age of 82, fishing and spending time with his family whom he loved deeply. Dad was a man of great integrity and we will be missed by many.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the management and staff of Berwick On The Park for their constant care and support. Also, thank you to Interior Health and Nurse Next Door for their help which in turn made Dad’s life easier.

Peacefully and surrounded by his family, Luch Dolfo (Nono) passed away on August 27, 2025, at the age of 74 years.

Luch will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 53 years, Kim; son, Don (Nicole); grandchildren, Abby and Noah; siblings, Renato (Charlene) Dolfo (Warner, BC), Lydia (Gary) Schiffo (Sparwood, BC); sister-in-law, Karen Young (Hinton, BC); and numerous other family members and friends. He is predeceased by his parents, Guiseppe and Elisa Dolfo, and his brother, Sergio.

Luch spent his entire career at Lornex/HVC mine before retiring in 2011. Luch was a remarkably compassionate, devoted man who cherished his family deeply and was consistently available to offer support and love. His expertise was vast and unparalleled — he was always willing to share his knowledge with others.

Following retirement, Luch and Kim spent the next 14 years wintering in Palm Desert. Luch quickly settled into the warm winters, enjoying baseball, golf, and pickleball with his brother, Renato.
The Dolfo boys were famous for their dynamic bond, never having a dull moment together. He made numerous cherished friends who remember his outgoing personality.

He spent his summers in Kamloops playing pickleball at the Kamloops Pickleball Club — one of his most favorite things to do. He formed many lasting bonds with fellow members — his sharp wit and humour will be remembered.

Spending time with his family was his greatest pleasure. He took immense pride in his son, Don, and his most treasured moments were those spent engaging in conversations or working on projects together.

His grandchildren were the center of his universe. He adored them unconditionally and wanted nothing more than to make unforgettable moments with them every chance he could.

Luch, Dad, Nono — we will miss you so much and love you to the moon and back.

Luch’s family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to B.C. Organ Transplant, Vancouver General Hospital, Dr. Yosheida and Dr. Scudamore for giving them six more precious years with him; Dr. Farrell for always being there. Thank you to the numerous angels who provided care for him at Kamloops Hospice House.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Kamloops Hospice House.
No funeral service by request.
