August 24, 1932 – February 17, 2022 

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ike Pelzer on February 17, 2022 in his 89th year.

He is survived by his loving wife, Kay, of 68 years, 3 sisters, Elfriede, Karen and Sharon, 3 daughters, Susan, Sherry and Carel, 7 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren along with other extended family.

Ike was born in the Rush Lake area of Saskatchewan on August 24, 1932. As a child he moved with his family to BC where they resided in the lower mainland. He met his wife in high school and they were married shortly after her graduation.

Ike had a variety of careers including working on the tug boats in the Fraser River, in a fish processing plant, psychiatric nursing, and finally construction. He started out being involved in home building then moved onto commercial construction, including a number of tall skyscrapers in Vancouver, the Interior, Calgary and also Mica Dam.

Family was always most important to him and he loved to be in the presence of a gathering of them, large or small.

After years of failing health, he is now at peace.

Someone once said “No one in this world will love you like a good Dad”. Thanks Dad for all your love over the years. We will all miss you dearly.
