1931 — 2021

Joseph T. (Joe) Mychaluk

With saddened hearts we grieve the loss of our Husband, Father, Grandpa and Great-grandpa.

Survived by his wife of 63 years, Elsie, daughters Suzanne (Augie) and Donna;  Grandchildren, Angela (Ryan), Lisa (Abbey), Ellen, Paul (Melanie) and Julie;  Greatgrandsons, Jacob, Isaac and Samuel;  brother, Walt (Elsie);  sister-in-law Irene (John) and many nieces and nephews.  Predeceased by his parents, brother Steven, granddaughter, Jocelyne and niece Jo-Ann.

Dad was born in Edmonton, his early life spent along the CN railway tracks in small communities from Kamloops to Jasper.  His teenage years were spent in Vancouver where he graduated in 1949 from Kitsilano High School.  After graduation Dad went to work for CN in Northern BC but after an accident that broke his ankle he returned to Vancouver to recuperate.  He returned to work in Vancouver as an Operator with CN, then a Dispatcher, and finished his career in Kamloops as the Chief Train Dispatcher in 1988 after almost 40 years.  His retirement was spent travelling, snowbirding in Texas, golfing and curling.  Dad was a wonderful cook and he was not shy to try something new and test it on the rest of the family.

Due to COVID-19, a private family service was held on March_20th___, 2021 with internment at Hillside Cemetery.  Flowers gratefully declined but if desired donations to Kamloops Hospice Association or Royal Inland Hospital Foundation are appreciated.

Sweet Dreams Dad
