Walker, Cliff
The family of Clifford Walker would like to announce the passing of their father on August 27, 2010.
Cliff was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario on March 12, 1923. Very early on he became involved in hard and humble work and sports.
At the outbreak of the war he joined Ontario’s Algonquin Regiment in the Canadian Army and he was sent to Europe where he saw real action. He was taken prisoner and after a forced march, in which he had to carry an injured comrade in a wheelbarrow, he spent two years as a P.O.W. He was so proud and fond of the Algonquin’s.
After the war, Cliff married June Hutton in Toronto and had three children. Cliff went to work for Carling – O Keefe Brewery, a career of good beer that took them to Vancouver, Regina, Calgary, Creston and New Westminster. He was always a sports fan and enjoyed coaching hockey and baseball.
When Cliff retired from brewing, he continued his volunteer charitable works, which at one time included being president of B.C. Long Term Care Services. Cliff and June enjoyed a holiday home in Harrison Hot Springs and eventually retired to Creston. Here Cliff enjoyed fellowship at Rotary, Brewery Functions, Gardening and the Craft Intarsia.

She was known for her wit and great sense of humour, she loved to play cards and was always ready for a good game of Pinochle.

Kevin Dale Lovestrom
With sad hearts we announce the sudden passing of our son, brother and uncle, Kevin Dale Lovestrom.
Kevin passed away quietly at home on September 17th, 2010.
Kevin loved life and his family dearly and will be sadly missed by his mother and father, Jean and Bob, his sister Laurie Dawn, brother (in-law) Pat Trippell, his three nieces Leah, Holly and Alexandra and his Granny Laurine Lindsay of Creston, B.C.
Kevin will also be missed by Renee, uncles and aunts, Dave and Robbie Lindsay of Creston, B.C. and their family, Fred and May Masuch and family, Alice and Bill MacDonald and family, Lorraine Lovestrom and family, Albert and Margaret Lovestrom and family, the Everitt family and many cousins and close friends.
Kevin followed in his father’s footsteps working in construction in B.C. and Alberta, initially as a construction surveyor and later as a senior construction manager with a firm in Calgary, AB.
Kevin loved to snow ski, kayak, para-glide and spend time with his friends and family.
Kevin also enjoyed cooking and whenever there was a family get-together we looked forward to his gourmet dishes.
Kevin was a kind and gentle soul with attitude.
He had a special love for his grandma and grandfather Lovestrom, Gran and Granddad Lindsay and the old Lindsay farm on Hurry Road in Creston, where as a small child, he learned to ride a horse and love animals.
Kevin lived the past year in Vancouver with his cat, Orange Kitty, who were companions for 17 years prior to Kitty’s passing on August 19.
Kevin always had more questions than answers about life but we know he now has an answer to all he was seeking.
Kevin, we know you are watching over us, we love and miss you very much…your family and friends.
