Diedrich John “Dick” Rempel of Kamloops, BC passed away on October 21, 2021 at the age of 83.

He is survived by his loving wife Hazel Sundby, children Debra (Clayton) Kaglea of Calgary, AB, Sherry (Clayton) Archer of Calgary, AB, and son Rick Rempel, stepchildren Rodney (Donna Lee) Sundby, Rudy (Tammy) Sundby, Dawn Kroad, Glayne (Kim) Sundby, Avtar Kroad as well as numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Dick is also survived by his sister Darlene Friesen.

Dick was a great businessman all his life. He used to say that he could make a dollar out of a nickel. At one time Dick owned and ran with Hazel by his side a secondhand store in Athalmer, BC and in Radium he ran the Chicken Kitchen for 11 years, he ran a bottle depot in Edgewater and for one year he ran them all at the same time! Radium Video was another business that Dick took on as well.

He had a passion for classic cars especially the Fords, a fondness for dogs, and loved to watch a good game of hockey. We are going to miss this amazing man who never raised his voice in anger, always spoke a kind word and without fail was genuinely happy.

The family would like to thank Ridgeview Lodge for the care they gave Dick, Interior HomeCare Solutions particularly Victoria who always looked after him great!

A Celebration of Dick’s Life will take place at a later date.
