Dan Armstrong
It is with much sadness that we announce the sudden death of Dan Armstrong on December 31th. Dan was born in Fort St. John on September 10, 1959. He spent his early years in Tomslake, Chetwynd, and Ocean Falls, before moving to Kelowna with his family when he was 13. His favourite activities as a youth included being part of the swim club in Ocean Falls, wrestling, skiing, and riding his motorcycle. When he was 19, he went travelling and had many adventures in Australia, Indonesia, India, England, and other countries. His round-the-world tour lasted a year and a half and gave him a great love of travelling and a deep respect for other cultures. When he returned, he went to UBC where he got a degree in Environmental Studies. While there, he managed to convince the Totem Park residence to let him be the first man to stay on a girls' floor. This happened to be where his future wife, Elda, was staying and the two quickly became inseparable. Dan always let Elda know how proud he was of her and encouraged her to use her talents to her fullest. Dan then got a diploma in Environmental Health at BCIT. After spending 2 years in Burns Lake, Dan and Elda moved to Prince George in 1990 where Dan has been an Environmental Health Officer for the last 19 years. Dan was overjoyed to be the father of Luke and Ben and was happiest when the whole family was doing something together, whether it be time at the cabin, kayaking, playing a board game, or having dinner together. He had great hopes and plans for his family. Dan will be greatly missed by his beloved wife Elda and sons Luke and Ben, his parents, Dan and Sharen, his sisters Diane (Kelly) and Terry (Gary), his parents in law Barrie and Barbara Sones, Elda's siblings Bill (Laurie), Kim, and Rose, five nieces and nephews, many extended family members, his church family at St. Giles and friends. Dan was a deeply committed Christian and his life reflected this. He believed in using his talents to help others. He was a talented woodworker; he enjoyed drawing and doing pottery; he wrote many poems; he was able to successfully re-fit any part of an old house and turn into something of beauty; and he was a walking encyclopedia about most subjects. He loved reading magazines, watching old movies and sitting in the sunshine. We will always remember him for the love he expressed daily to us. A memorial service will be held Wednesday, January 7, 2009, at St. Giles Presbyterian Church (1500 Edmonton Street) at 2:00 pm. A reception will follow in the church hall. In lieu of flowers, friends so wishing can make a donation to Hope International.
Jindrich (Henry) Mikoska
Passed away October 11th 2008 at the age of 70. Slow Down And Smell The Roses Slow down and smell the roses On your busy, active day, Slow down and breathe their fragrance, As you go along lifes way.
