It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Charlie on Thursday, April 7, 2022, at the Hamlets in Kamloops with his son Harvey and granddaughter Renee by his side.

Charlie was born on May 11, 1925 on the homestead of his parents, Daniel and Maude Boorse, at Lottie Lake, Alberta.  He was predeceased by his wives Barbara (1977), Hazel (1991) and Audrey (2021); by his siblings Henry, Bill, Frank, Mabel, Mary, Kay, Hilda, twin sister Lillian; son Keith, son-in-law Marty; and granddaughter Alison.

Charlie grew up on the family farm where he developed his love for gardening, his skill in many trades (he loved working with his hands building, fixing or tending to the land) and his love for horses. In 1948 he married Barbara Lane in Medicine Hat and had 3 boys: Gary (Joyce), Stan (Louise) and Harvey (Pam) . They also lived in St. Paul before settling in Kamloops in 1964.  He worked many years for BCBC at the Tranquille Sanitorium.  In 1979 he married Hazel and his family grew with the addition of 6 bonus children: Lance (Marlene), Laurel (Marty), Keith (Robin), Kim (Manda), Wayne, and Wanda (Byron).  The two loved playing cards and hosting family meals.  He spent his later years with Audrey Smith. Charlie was blessed with many grandchildren and great grandchildren who always made him smile.

For many years he loved camping, summers at Lottie, road trips, and gardening. In his later years he loved taking his scooter out, driving the golf cart, being driven, reminiscing about his beloved horses, a good game of cribbage or crokinole and his weekly visits with Harvey and family.

He was a proud, lifetime member of the Moose Lodge #1552.

Over his 96 years, he never lost the quick wit, charm, and humour he was best known for.

At Charlie’s request, there will be no formal service.  You’re welcome to join a “cheers” to Charlie between 12-1:00pm on Saturday, April 23rd at the Moose Lodge in Kamloops.

Rest in peace Chuck, hope you get your “quarters worth of ten dollar bills”.
