November 6, 1924 – December 30, 2017

On December 30th, 2017, Mario Oreste Bertolotti, passed away peacefully surrounded by family. Mario was born in Kamloops on November 6, 1924. Mario served in WW2 and then continued to serve as a civilian in the military for 42 years at the Navy Depot and Mount Lolo station.
Mario was pre-deceased by his wife (Frances) of 63 years in 2010. Mario is survived by three of his siblings; Josepina, Jeannetta, and Toni. He is also survived by his daughters, Cheryl MacMurchy, Lori Pucci (Erminio) and Karri Bertolotti (Jim), his grandchildren Laura Tjader, Kyle MacMurchy, Michael Pucci, and Richard Pucci, and seven great grandchildren.
Mario was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing right into his 90’s. His other passions included a love of gardening at his residence on Pleasant Street for 66 years and preserving food for the long winters.
Mario will be fondly remembered for hosting family dinners surrounded by family and friends. He will be sadly missed by his family. No service by request.
