Matthew Melvin James Hauer “Matt Hauer” August 21, 1988 – January 24, 2017 It is with profound sadness and absolute heartbreak we share the sudden passing of our beloved son, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend Matthew. You will be forever loved and truly missed in our hearts. He is survived by his loving parents Clifford and Karen Hauer (nee Clark), grandparents Iris and Bud Clark, Mel and Val Hauer as well as several loving aunts, uncles and cousins. He is predeceased by his brother Lucas Clark Hauer (1991). Matthew loved music, his family and friends. He loved cooking and a great party with those he loved. His huge heart and generous spirit were just a small part of his wonderful nature. We will miss his fantastic sense of humor and his marvelous laugh… forever cherishing our memories. Play on Matt, spread the laughs and rest easy. We will see you on the other side. Until then, “love you man!”
A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, April 1, 2017 at the Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel, 11969 216 Street.

Duane was proud to drive bus for BC Transit for 30 years in Kamloops and everybody knew him. He was an active member of the Kamloops and Chase Curling Clubs. We will all remember Duane’s sense of humor and his love for music, playing the accordion most of his life. He also loved to camp, and in his flying days “go around the patch”. He made many friends who will also miss him. By Duane’s request, no service will be held. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever ll. A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have saved you, You would have never died. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part, God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts.

Orval Humphrey February 26, 1934 – February 9, 2017 In the early morning hours of February 9, 2017, as snow gently fell, our dear Orval was received into the loving care of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The youngest of seven children, Orval was born on February 26, 1934 in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan. He was predeceased by his parents Bill and Hilda Humphrey (Chapman), as well as brothers George (Anne), Melvin (Marion), Calvin (Jean) and sisters Margaret Selby (Cliff), Irene McDonald (Fred) and Betty Newman (Cyril). Left to treasure his memory are his loving wife Diane and sons Kirby (Rita) and Chris (Lynda). He also leaves four precious grandchildren Brendan and Michael (Kirby) and Kristyn and Kaitlyn (Chris). Orval is also survived by two sisters-in-law Marion Humphrey and Jean Humphrey, as well as many nephews and nieces. Orval spent his early years in Kerrobert and in 1951 followed some of his family to Atikokan, Ontario where he remained until 1979. During that time, he worked for Crosstown Services and then began a long mining career, when he became employed at Steep Rock Iron Mines in 1956. In 1964, he and Diane were married and their two sons were born within the next four years. Many happy hours were spent camping, visiting friends and family, skidooing and enjoying the cabin at Warner Lake. In 1979 with the impending closure of the Atikokan mines, Orval gained employment at Lornex Mining Corp. and the family moved to Logan Lake, BC. Orval worked as an equipment/shovel operator until his retirement in 1998. Once retired, he enjoyed golfing and took up woodworking. He spent many hours in his shop and completed several fine pieces of intarsia. Orval was a caring, generous man, who clearly understood the value of the important things in life, such as his family and friends. A Celebration of Life will take place at 1:00 pm on Saturday, March 11, 2017 at the Logan Lake Community Church with the Reverend Jim White officiating. The family wishes to extend gratitude to Dr. Soderberg and the staff at the Nicola Valley Hospital and also the staff at Ponderosa Lodge, where Orval was residing at the time of his passing. Donations, in memory of Orval may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society. We miss you, Baba. Rest in Peace.
