October 20, 1930 – October 26th, 2022

It is with great sadness we announce the passing on October 26, 2022, of a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and uncle. Maurice (Bud) was a fighter who held on beyond our expectations. He was born October 20, 1930 in Dundurn, Saskatchewan to Lily and William Tennant. He was predeceased by his parents, sister Ida (Toots), and son-in-law (Mike).

Bud will be missed by his wife of 68 years (Alice) and loving children Marilyn, Emma (Ron), Louise (Brad), and Norrie (Lisa). He leaves behind thirteen grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews who were greatly loved by him.

Bud moved to Gilbert Plains, Manitoba with his parents at a young age. He grew up and received his education there. After graduation, he worked in the family business “Tennant’s Garage” for a number of years. It was there he met the love of his life, Alice Mack. They were married for 68 years.

He continued to work as a mechanic, spending fifteen years working for Steep Rock Iron Mines in Atikokan, Ontario and fourteen years at Alcan in Kitimat, B.C.

In 1996, he moved to Kamloops where he had a great retirement. Bud loved to travel, and road trips were his favourite. His time was spent curling, lawn bowling, and watching hockey. The Montreal Canadiens have lost a great fan.

Until we meet again dear husband, your memory and love will be with us all.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, November 3, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. at Oasis Church – 1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops, BC.

Flowers are gratefully declined; donations can be made to a charity of your choice.

The family would like to thank the Heart Foundation Clinic, Dr. Montalbetti, and Jacey for the wonderful care.

Condolences may be expressed at Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services.
