MENDEL, Hans: The family of Hans Mendel (Opa) wish to announce the celebration of 92 years of an active, full and wonderful life. Hans was a gentle, generous, and hard working soul who loved gardening, hockey and being outdoors. The most important thing in his life was his family whom he loved dearly. He is remembered by his loving children Robert, James (Donna), Jackie (Dave Pattison); his grandchildren Cassandra, Harrison, Thomas and Griffin; nieces, nephews, sister Clara and friends. Hans was predeceased by his beloved wife Theresa, of 61 years, in September 2011. Hans' life centered around his family, as he set and lived an example of patience, honor and faith. While raising their children Hans and Theresa ran the Kelowna Tobacco Store. He will be remembered for volunteering hundreds of hours helping others, especially at KGH where he proudly wore his red jacket for almost 20 years. He will be deeply missed by many and forever in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the KGH Foundation. Prayers will be recited Monday, Dec. 29 at 7:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road. A Mass will be held Tuesday, Dec. 30, 2014 at 10:30 am at St Charles Garnier Parish, 3645 Benvoulin Road, Kelowna, BC.
