Thomas Harvey Poulton
He will be lovingly remembered by his family; daughter Gaylene, sons Tom and Andrew and his cherished grandchildren Kayla, Joycelyn, Kaitlyn, Danielle, Devin and Alexander, and three great-grandchildren. Tom was predeceased by his son Paul. From a young age, Tom worked for the CNR Railway and loved to tell stories about his experiences. He had a passion for tennis and made it his business to make the club a success. He served as president for ten years. Through strong determination, he was instrumental in making indoor tennis in Kamloops a reality. His role as tournament director and league organizer was much appreciated. Tom was also an avid curler who enjoyed the skip position. He always looked forward to organizing and playing in bonspiels. Tom did not care much for growing vegetables, however his flowers were the envy of all.
Please donate to BC Cancer Society in her memory.
His many friends and acquaintances will miss his many stories and acts of kindness. A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, June 13, 2019 at the Kamloops Tennis Club, 758 Lorne Street, Kamloops. Donations may be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Kamloops Tennis Club.

Mafalda is survived by her loving sons Primo (Eileen), Peter (Shelley), John, her six grandchildren Brandon (Andrea), Bryce (Maggie), Michelle, Aaron, Cara (David), Sarah and five great-grandchildren Keaton, Ethan, Nathanial, Cayden and Ava. She lived to see her grandchildren, then great-grandchildren. She is also survived by two brothers Pietro (Enerstina) and Alessandro, sister in-law Francis and numerous nieces and nephews. She was born in Italy, immigrated to Canada in 1955 and married her late husband Giuseppe Podorieszach (pre-deceased in 1999). She had many friends in Clearwater and Kamloops.
