Tribute

It is with a great deal of sadness that on April 28 we suddenly lost our beloved Emil Krompocker. Emil was born on July 2, 1930 in Amherstburg, Ontario. After working on the family berry farm in Mission, Emil moved to Powell River where he began his career in logging and eventually became a land developer. Emil was a hard-working honest man and spent his last days working on his property he loved. He was a devoted husband and caregiver to his wife Joan who he loved dearly. You will not find a more dedicated, loving father to his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
He will be greatly missed but never forgotten by his wife Joan, son Don Krompocker (Carol), daughters Karen (Pleamon) Stockley, Tammy (Terry) Olson; grandchildren Scott (Michele), Kristy (Kevin), Denise (Rusty), Shane and their mother Pam; Selena (Paul), and great-grandchildren Addison, Krystin, Katana, Karyssa, MacKenzie, Jade, Skylar and Chase. Emil is survived by his brother Frank Krompocker (Rita) and sister Emma Hammond and his nieces and nephews.
Emil was predeceased by son Terry Krompocker on February 24, 2006 and his brothers Steve and Joe and sister Margaret.
The family would like to extend thanks and gratitude to Dr. Toole, Dr. Hoffert and the hospital staff on the fourth floor. Joan would like to extend a special thanks to Eilish. At Emil’s request we will be holding a family service. Donations to the Heart & Stroke foundation would be greatly appreciated.
