HISLOP, Ian Merle

December 12, 1934 - March 27, 2018

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful dad, Merle.
He is predeceased by our mom, his wife of 57 years, Patricia. He is survived by us, his daughters, Leslie Diemert and Sandra Hislop, as well as his grandchildren Jenelle & Joel Diemert and Rachel Hislop-Hook.

Dad was born in Ft. St. John in 1934 and although he lived and worked throughout BC, he always had a special love and appreciation for the North.

His life was filled with many interesting experiences and he shared those great stories and memories with us. We enjoyed hearing about his modest childhood and his early jobs. A memorable one was working on the Okanagan Lake Floating Bridge (1956-1958) in Kelowna - the city where he met the love of his life, Patricia. They married in 1958 and left Kelowna for new work, such as the first Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver.

So sorry Leslie. I just learned of your Dad's passing today. At least now he is back with your Mom and free from his pain and discomfort. Treasure your memories.

Your dad was truly a special person - I only recently met him when he moved to the Village and joined our Monday night "games night". He is now with his adored wife who he lovingly talked about.

Donna,
