January 16, 1943 – February 19, 2021

It is with great sadness that we inform you of Del’s passing following a short illness.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife and constant companion Eileen and his children Charles (Sandy), Jacqui and Elaine (Darrell) as well as his grandchildren Emily, Cassie, Mary and Natasha. He is also fondly remembered by his brother Sherman (Elaine), Cousin Isabelle (Jane), Brother-in- Law Niall (Christina), Myrna and relatives in Prince George.

He was born in Vernon, BC and spent his childhood in Alberta. He worked in Northern, BC where he drove trucks and worked in carpentry. The family moved to Kamloops in 1974 where he worked at Tranquille and then drove City Bus until his retirement.

His enjoyment in life was being with the family, camping, fishing, bowling, BBQing and socializing with his friends. He enjoyed watching his grandchildren play sports although he himself never had any interest or knowledge of any of the games.

Our family would like to thank the Royal Inland Hospital’s doctors and nurses who cared for him during his short illness. They gave us great comfort and were very supportive.

Due to Covid-19 protocols a funeral will be held at O.L.P.H with immediate family only.

You may express condolences at Schoening Funeral Service.
