Hans Volker Pfeifer
Early Saturday morning March 7, 2015, our dear husband, father, friend and coach Volker passed away unexpectedly at home at the age of 54. His family was by his side.
In 1998 he and his wife Silke immigrated to Canada from Germany. They lived in Powell River for 15 years before moving to Campbell River in 2013.
Volker was a great inspiration. He was such a warm and vital man with wonderful, positive humour and energy. He was also a man with many trades – cooking, first aid, diving, boating. Judo and the great outdoors were his life passion. He is survived by his wife Silke and his children Mark-André, Julia-Katharina, Annika and Tommy.
A celebration of Volker’s life will be held later this spring in Campbell River. In lieu of flowers an account has been established for the Pfeifer children at CIBC, Transit 00140 Account # 8851530.
Peter Sawchuk, June 17, 1936 - March 14, 2015
It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Peter Sawchuk passed away peacefully early March 14.
Peter was born in Roblin, Manitoba. He was predeceased by his parents, Harry and Bella Sawchuk and sisters Pat, Helen, Mary and Dora.
He is survived by his devoted wife Margaret, son David (Pam), daughter Carol, grandchildren Nova (Lupin), Michael (Sara), Jennifer (Tom) and Robyn (Brodie), great-granddaughter Teagan, brothers Alex, John (Ann deceased) and Ed (Carol) as well as many nephews, nieces, friends and brothers from his Freemasonry fraternity.
Margaret and Peter moved to Powell River to open McLeod’s Hardware in 1977 after many years of living in Northern BC and the Yukon, where Peter worked for the Department of Transportation. After early retirement from the mill in 1994,
Peter spent many happy hours gardening, making wine, operating his radios and gold panning. He was constantly learning and was happy to share his knowledge with anyone who had a minute. We will miss him.
There will be no service by request.
