Leslie Owen Hoffman
August 29, 1911 - November 13, 2002
HOFFMAN - Leslie Owen, passed away peacefully in his sleep the morning of Wednesday, November 13, 2002 at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. He was 91 years old.
Leslie lived a full life and spent much of his time outdoors or driving truck and was never known to turn down the opportunity for a fishing trip. He was a man who enjoyed working with wood, whether driving a logging truck, running his own sawmill or pursuing his favorite hobby - making wood furniture, even if it cost him the odd fingertip. Many family members have keepsakes that were made by Leslie in his workshop. Leslie was also a family man who remained faithful to his personal convictions until the day of his death. Leslie Hoffman was born on August 29, 1911 in Tuffnell, Saskatchewan to Alex and Ella Hoffman and grew up in Foam Lake, Saskatchewan. On December 13, 1932 Leslie married Blanche Pickerell and together they raised four sons. Leslie and Blanche moved from Saskatchewan to British Columbia in 1937. Their marriage lasted 56 years until the untimely death of Blanche in 1988. For Leslie, Blanche remained the love of his life and he died the same day she did fourteen years later. Together they faced life's challenges and rewards. They witnessed all their sons' marriages and experienced the joy of being grandparents. They also jointly faced the loss of their eldest son, Gordon in 1958. Leslie was predeceased by three of his younger siblings, Lawrence, Stanley, and Cecil.
Left to cherish memories of Leslie are his three sons, Allan (Margaret), Ray (Dorothy), Neil (Margaret), and daughter-in-law Lil (Paul). He is also survived by his grandchildren: Leonard, Peggy, Kathy, & Lori-Jane; Barbara, Clayton, Pamela, & Colin; Jo-ann & Debbie; Paula, Shauna & Todd. As well he leaves 20 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. Leslie is also survived by his remaining siblings, Ross, Lloyd, Clara, Ruth, Evelyn and Rosella.
Leslie was truly the patriarch of his family and will be remembered fondly and with a smile. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on November 23, 2002 at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 1985 Curlew Road. Gary Butterfield will conduct the memorial of the life of Leslie Owen Hoffman, known to most, simply as "Grandpa".
Lloyd Evan Iverson
IVERSON - Lloyd Evan, left us on November 26, 2002, at the good old age of 87. He leaves to cherish his memory his brother, Bjorn (Leah); sister, Lorna; his faithful companion, Helby; numerous nieces and nephews, their families and many friends
Born in Dinant, Alberta, April 5, 1912, Lloyd was the sixth of seven children born to Marie and Iver Iverson. He lived, worked, and exulted in life in B.C. with Oliver, Grand Forks, and latterly Kamloops being his principal places of residence. His occupations encompassed logging and mining but he was also an adventurer, outdoorsman and fiddler extraordinaire. Perhaps his greatest joy came from introducing children to hiking and camping in the great outdoors.
Lloyd never lost his zest for life even after his legs surrendered to old age. Nor did his passion diminish in trying to keep politicians on their toes. His heart was as big as all the outdoors and he was always there for anyone or any worthy cause, no matter how big or small.
Lloyd was a man who loved deeply and was loved greatly by family and his many friends. His passing leaves a void in our lives.
A celebration of Lloyd's life will be held at 2:00 P.M., November 30, 2002, in the Chapel of Personal Alternative Funeral Services, #8 - 177 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, B.C.
Interment will take place on December 7, 2002, at 11:30 A.M., in the Oliver Cemetery with a get together to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the S.P.C.A or the charity of choice.
