It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Brownie Pichurski, on December 10, 2015, at the age of 81. Brownie was surrounded by the love of his children, Brenda, Ramona, Darrell and his grandson, Desmond Lough (girlfriend Abigail) and Bonnie Padley.

Brownie was a man of great honesty, integrity, wisdom, had a wonderful sense of humour, a hard worker and a heart of gold. Brownie spent most of his life in Merritt, BC and had worked for Pooley Bros. Construction for over 40 years. Brownie enjoyed his time coaching minor hockey, camping, fishing, hunting, gardening, tinkering with projects around the house and creating art projects.

Brownie is survived by his children, Brenda Franklin, Ramona Lough, Darrell Pichurski, son-in-law Kelly Lough, daughter-in-law Jennifer Petrina, his grandchildren Megan and Alex Franklin, Desmond Lough, Nicholas and Jackson Pichurski, his half-sister Marie Seabrook, nieces and nephews and his beloved dog Madison.

Brownie was predeceased by his beloved wife, Eleanor Pichurski (nee Bann) on July 8, 2015, his father Woiciech Pichurski, mother Annie Babenchuk, step-father Fred Babenchuk, sister Josephine Makowski, brother Edward Ferrer and son-in-law Kenneth Franklin.

With great appreciation we would like to thank Bonnie Padley, Interior Health Home Care, Nicola Valley Hospital, staff at Gillis House as well as family, friends, neighbours for their unconditional love, support and care.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. If so desired, donations can be made to the Gillis House (Dementia Ward).

Condolences may be expressed to the family from
