Tribute

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Neil at the age of 86 after a brief illness. He was predeceased by his loving wife of 62 years, Olga, on November 26, 2015. Left to mourn are his six sons Neil, Bruce (Helen), Mick (Trish), Dan (Sandy), Jim (Linda) and Ken, 10 grandchildren Sean (Kayla), Jolene, Christy (Scott), Shawna (Ben), Crystal, Bobby-Jean, Danni-Lee, Kelsey, Tyler and Alicia, five great-grandchildren Aurora, Cru, Shae, Layla and Sophia plus many nieces and nephews.

Born in Coalhurst, Alberta, Neil and Olga moved their family from Fort St. John to Powell River in 1965, where Neil worked for Burg and Johnson Builders' Supply, then as a millwright in the mill until his retirement.

Neil supported his sons over the years in hockey, baseball and soccer. He loved fishing, hunting, all things western and was a proud member of Alcoholics Anonymous.
A celebration of life will be held Saturday, April 9, at Carlson Community Club from 1-3 pm. Donation may be made to a charity of your choice.

Missing you and loving you always.
