TURK, Wendell

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Wendell Turk on January 24, 2019. Wendell is survived by his beloved wife, Leona; daughter Sandra; and two sons Wayne (Linda) and Darren; two granddaughters Alisha and Katie; sister Fran and numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by brother Matt.

He was born on June 26, 1940 in Emmental, Romania. He immigrated to Canada with his parents, brother and sister in 1953. They settled in Kelowna, where Wendell worked in construction before becoming an orchardist. He was into all sports and especially loved soccer. He will be sadly missed.

The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Sunpointe Village, especially the Belgo Community. We would also like to thank Dr. Erasmus for her care and support. A memorial mass will be held on Friday, February 1, 2019 at 11:00 am at St. Pius X Church, 1077 Fuller Avenue. Kelowna. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society, 307

We are so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of your family coming over to my parents place for coffee or I would go over and baby sit Sandy, Wayne and Darren. My funniest memory of Wendell was when our families were at Salmon lake camping , the adults were enjoying a little vino. Wendells lawn chair was on the edge of a small embankment, he leaned back too far and fell backwards and disappeared, before any one could move, his hand appeared over the top of the embankment holding up a glass of wine. Now Dad and Wendell are together having coffee and complaining about the apple industry.
