On October 19, 2017 I lost my best friend and husband of 62 years, Orval H Olafson at the age of 86. He was always well respected in business and his personal life for his honesty and consideration of others needs. Orv enjoyed his life in spite of the challenges he faced. He hunted, fished in the winter and summer, recreationally and commercially and he taught me how. We 4-wheeled, water skied, swam, danced, travelled all over Canada, even in the north and much of the US. He was part of the music world with me.

With extremely heavy hearts we announce the passing of Richard McLean, age 67, on October 18, 2017. Richard was born October 12, 1950, in Edinburgh, Scotland to John and Jesse McLean. The family moved to Canada when Richard was young, eventually settling in Kamloops, BC. Richard worked for over 30 years with Barton Black and Robertson Insurance/Interior Savings Insurance Services where he met his wife Carol and together they raised 2 children. He would go on to retire and enjoy his true passions of garage sales and gardening. It was a sure bet that on any given day you could find Richard either out in his garden wearing over sized gum boots, a hat and a smile or driving his 1966 “Robins Egg Blue” GMC truck. Richard had a wonderful sense of humour, loved watching his favorite sports teams, win or lose, he was a loyal fan. Some of his favorite times were when he packed up his family and went out to Knouff Lake for a weekend of fun.
