Derek we love you so much and you will be in our hearts forever and forever missed.
Love Mom, Dad and Brent…

He had a lengthy career in the construction business, was pretty handy with a backhoe and had many friends throughout the province in the industry. The lives he touched will be saddened to hear of his passing. His favourite times were those spent with Mom and the rest of his family, getting together for family dinners, having a few laughs and just catching up on what everyone had been up to. His favourite line lately was “I’m retired so I did whatever I wanted today!” at which time he would laugh out loud and make us all smile.
Dad had the heart and soul of a gentle giant and always had time for family and friends.
We invite family and friends to share their memories in a Celebration of Dad’s Life to be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, March 1, 2008, at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops, B.C.
