Gordon Arthur Solberg Gordon Arthur Solberg, of Black Creek, BC, died on January 5, 2016 at the age of 56. Gord was born on February 5, 1959 in Nanaimo, BC. Eldest son of Karl and Bernice Solberg. After graduating from Carihi Secondary School in 1977, Gord went to work at Elk Falls Mill. He earned Red Seal Certification as a Millwright. He started with Crown Zellerbach and finished when Catalyst closed the doors. He was a dedicated employee of 32 years. The move from Campbell River, BC, to their five acres in Black Creek took place at this time. In 1980, Gord married Lewann Smith, and in 1987 they were blessed with their greatest joy, the birth of son Reid. An adoring husband, Gord was truly Lewann’s knight in shining armour and a compassionate father to Reid. Gord was a loyal, devoted and loving son, brother, and friend. A very patient and giving man, always ready to help. Most will remember him as a quiet, gentle giant of a man, a true gentleman. His last job took him to Port Alice where he lived with his brother Jim. Gord called their place ‘the boys’ club’ and he loved that time they had together. Gord will be forever loved and missed by his surviving wife, of 35 years, Lewann; son Reid, mother Bernice, brother Karl James (Jim), sisters Karen, and Kristine, and their families. Predeceased by father, Karl Johan Solberg and father-in-law, Lewis (Scotty) Smith. Wearing his bib overalls, driving his tractor, sitting on a bench at the barn, and watching all God’s creatures were some of the things that gave him great pleasure. Gord was due to begin retirement on January 15, 2016. A private gathering to be held at a later date. Remembrances may be made in the form desired by friends.

Helen Lorraine Young
Audrey May Noton (Duff) Mom passed away peacefully January 4, 2016 in Campbell River, BC at the age of 86. Audrey was born on the family farm in Olds, Alberta on May 11, 1929. As the youngest of six children, Audrey’s childhood was full of laughter and hard work. Even as a young child she displayed a generous and determined spirit that she carried through life. She married Ken Noton in 1951 and they settled in Duncan to raise their family. Audrey worked diligently as a bookkeeper and later owned and operated her own free range, organic dairy farm long before it was cool. After her husband’s death she and her son Kenny moved to Campbell River where she owned and operated a log hauling business until retirement. She was a vibrant, strong-minded woman who “didn’t take no guff from nobody”. She enjoyed horseback riding and reading but she was happiest when surrounded by family. She was also an excellent cook and her pies and buns were the highlight of family meals. She had a passion for animals of all kinds, especially the pet dogs she loved over the years. Her eye for beautiful jewelry and expensive sparkle is well known in the family (and has been appropriately inherited!). She is survived by her sister Alma Harper, her daughter Beverley Mitchell (Gregg), granddaughters Lana Lounsbury (Jeff), Jan Frew (Doug), Ruth Eden (Travis) and Karen Wylie (Ian) as well as great-grandchildren Claire, Hudson, Garrett, Dane, Aiden and Evita. She was predeceased by her husband Ken, and her son Kenny. We are extremely thankful for the unfailing kindness and attention she received at Golden Grove Care Home. The owners and staff were like family to her during Mom’s three and half years of residence there.
