Tupper, Kenneth Lester (Ken)
Nov 20, 1922 – May 11, 2011
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Ken Tupper, much loved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Dad passed away at Ridge Meadows Hospital with his family by his side. Ken is survived by his loving wife Joyce, his six children Marilyn (Jim), Susan (Keith), Maureen (Greg), Mark (Heidi), Scott (Kathy), Brent (Joanne) and his sister Mabel. He also leaves to mourn his grandchildren Fiona (Kenny), Erin (David), Kerri, Adam (Maria), Ashley (Justin), Miranda, Stephanie, Christopher (Ashley), Taylor, Cameron, Lindsay, Sarah and Hayden and his great-grandchildren Charlie, Talia and Joshua. Dad was pre-deceased by his daughter-in-law Patti and two grandchildren, Shawn and Danielle. Ken was born in Star City, Saskatchewan joining the RCAF in 1941. During the war he was a flight engineer responsible for providing escort to the merchant supply ships departing Canada’s east coast for ports in England. While still in the service and living in Cold Lake Alberta with his wife Joyce and six kids, Dad worked part-time doing vehicle maintenance and repairs. Somehow he found the time to volunteer more than 1,000 hours at the local theatre to gain the minimum on the job experience required to earn his projectionist license, eventually becoming the theatre manager. The Tupper’s were the first family in Cold Lake to receive a TV signal. After moving north Dad wasn’t about to miss “Hockey Night in Canada” so after stacking one antenna on top of another he was able to pick up a faint signal but enough to warrant bringing a TV to the remote region. Dad retired from the Air Force in 1966 with the rank of Sergeant, heading a crew providing maintenance to military aircraft. In the fall of 1966 the Tupper’s moved to Maple Ridge where Ken had the dual responsibility of managing both Pitt Meadows Golf Club as well as the Maple Ridge club. It was during these years that he could be seen at the local arena coaching minor hockey. Later Dad worked in the penal system at Alouette River Unit, retiring at the age of 60. He spent the next 5 years helping two of his son’s, Mark and Brent establish their Maple Ridge based business, T&T Auto Parts. Since retiring at the age of 65, Dad could regularly be seen on one of his many walks around town or at the dikes. He frequented as many of his grandchildren’s events as was possible, including birthdays, dance recitals, graduation, football and baseball. Dad would often be heard to say; “hit it just over second”, words of encouragement to one of his grandchildren or their team mates as they were up to bat. It was at one of his grandson’s games earlier this year when Dad had a fall and we discovered his heart was not well. Those who were lucky enough to know Ken will themselves know the pride and love Dad had for all his family and their extended families. For Dad a good day was one that he spent with his family and friends. We are all going to miss him! All who knew Ken are welcome to attend a celebration of Dad’s life, to be held at Mark and Heidi Tupper’s home on Monday - May 23, 2011 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, The Canadian Cancer Society or BC Children’s Hospital.
