July 28 1932 – January 25 2016
Pentti Johannes Nikula of Kamloops B.C. passed away peacefully at Kamloops Hospice House with his wife Aira at his side on Monday, January 25th, 2016, at the age of 83.
He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Aira Nikula, daughter Hannele (John) grandson Kieran, his son Matti (Amanda) and grandsons Jordan and Logan.
Many friends and family members will also sadly miss him. He was a special man to many.
Pentti was born in Finland and him and his wife Aira immigrated to Canada in 1959, where they made a life and home for themselves in Coquitlam, B.C. Pentti worked for many years at Richmond Plywood. After retiring, Pentti and Aira moved to Pinantan Lake, B.C. where they lived for a wonderful 22 years before moving to Kamloops. Pentti was a gentle, kind, caring man who loved to spend his time hunting and fishing. There will be many good memories of him shared amongst his loved ones.
Close family and friends will be having a celebration of life at a later date for Pentti at their home.
In lieu of flowers, the family would greatly appreciate donations made in Pentti’s memory to The Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Cr., South, Kamloops, B.C. V2E 2S9
