Mary moved to Canada in 1979 to a beautiful town called Hope where she had two thriving businesses upon retirement in 1993. She moved to Kamloops to enjoy the sunshine and the warm weather until her passing.

Stan had an incredible work ethic and will bes missed by Roy, Avi, Barry, Glen and all of his union brothers at Highland Valley Copper. “We all thought we had more time.” Born and raised in the Lower Mainland, Stan loved his family and friends and shared his love for camping, fishing and hunting with them. Stan touched so many people’s lives with his genuine smile, kind and gentle nature and pure spirit. He met his challenges with courage, dignity and grace. Although too soon, Stan left the world a better place, simply by being it and now he is at peace and reunited with his loving parents Jack and Lilian. A heartfelt and sincere thanks to all of the first responders, paramedics, coroner and Tracy and Taylor, my angels from victim services, thank you for the love. The staff at Schoening Funeral Home, for taking such kind care of our Stan. Thank you all, the unsung heroes that work tirelessly to help us all. Rest in Peace and Heavenly Glory my darling husband, “daddy”, brother, son, cousin, uncle, nephew and loyal friend. You are loved by so many and will live forever in all of us. Until we are together again, we love you.

A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim
Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!
