1921 – 2017

Amund passed away peacefully at home at the age of 96 with his wife of 62 years, Pat by his side. He will be lovingly remembered by Pat, his daughter Ellen (Quelch), grandchildren Devon, Jenna and Kate, and relatives in Norway. He is predeceased by his son, Eric, and granddaughter, Taylor.

Amund was born in Oslo, Norway, in 1921 and at the age of 21, immigrated to the United States. There he obtained his Masters in Forestry from the University of Washington. In 1952, he moved to Kamloops and met Pat. They married in 1954, and moved into their forever home in Valleyview. Amund spent the following 40 years working forestry and spending weekends at the Shuswap family cabin he built himself; a treasure still enjoyed by all.

Upon his retirement from forestry, Amund spent time enjoying his greatest passions: travel, the outdoors, and time with his family. A true adventurer, Amund was active in the Kamloops Mountaineering Club, an experienced traveller, and an avid skier. He will be remembered for his brilliant mind, sense of adventure, passion for languages, and love of Chilean wine.

A Memorial Tea for Amund will take place on September 30th, 2017, at 2:00 pm, at Schoening Funeral Home, 513 Seymour St., Kamloops.
