KAMLOOPS — Former Kamloops Mayor John Dormer has passed away. 

Dormer passed away Friday afternoon at Royal Inland Hospital, after suffering from a stroke earlier in the day.

The husband and father was surrounded by his family, including his wife of 48 years Marjorie, when he died.

In an email, his son Dave Dormer said his Dad cherished being a grandfather and was the most loving, generous, hard working person he’d ever known.

“He taught us to always follow our dreams and also strive to make the world a better place for those around us,” said Dormer. “He left an indelible mark on all who knew him. We love him dearly and he will be missed.”
