September 15, 1939 – October 31, 2022

It is with sadness that we announced the passing of William Harvey Duffus. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side.

He was pre deceased by his brother Earl Williams and his son Allen Duffus. He is survived by his wife Carol, son Bill (Christina), niece Esther Winder and nephew Mark Williams.

Bill apprenticed to get his machinist ticket with CN rail in Winnipeg then went on to get his Millwright ticket. He liked to try new things so worked in many places. He came to Kamloops in 1981 where he and Carol owned and operated three Sandwich Tree Restaurants; they then owned and operated seven locations of First Choice Haircutters while Bill worked at Bauer Irrigation as sales and service manager for all of North America. Bauer had its head office in Austria so Bill traveled to many places. After retiring in 2002 Bill and Carol traveled across Canada, the US and Mexico for many years.

Bill loved fishing, camping, skidooing, skiing, and just being out in the boat.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, November 12 from 2-4 pm at The Residence, 3300 Valleyview Drive, Kamloops, BC V2C 0G9.
