Pat passed away peacefully on December 21st at Kamloops Hospice House with Elda by his side. Pat was born in Chilliwack, B.C. and was the second of five children. He moved to Kamloops in 1952 where he met Elda. They were married in 1956 and spent the next 58 years together working, raising their family, hunting, fishing, gardening and enjoying time with friends and family.
Pat is survived by his wife Elda, sons Kim (Deb), and Joe (Rhonda),grandchildren Lena and Will, siblings Lorna and Vedder and many nieces and nephews. Pat was predeceased by his parents Lena and Harry, his brother Mike and his sister Shirley.
Respecting Pat’s wishes, there will not be a funeral service. Pat will be fondly remembered for his sense of humour, his gentle teasing and his kind and generous nature.

One Tribute
Elda and family:
We were so sorry to hear of Pat’s passing. Although he and I didn’t always see eye to eye I can’t begin to tell you how much I respected his advice. The help and advice he gave us over the years will always be appreciated. One of our regrets was losing touch with him and you. If there is anything we can do to help you at this time please let us know. Cindy
