February 15, 1929 - October 17, 2018
Ken passed away peacefully after a short stay in Vernon Jubilee Hospital ICU with family at his side. It is with gratitude for the care he received there, as well as the support he was given at Canterbury where he was living.
Ken began his working life delivering telegrams by bicycle in Vernon, BC for CNR, later becoming a telegrapher/ dispatcher for CPR, where he worked for many years. He and his wife Lil along with their children, Rick and Sheree enjoyed living in Summerland during most of those years. Always active in the
life of their community, they were honored by receiving Summerland's "Citizens of the Year" award. Among the groups they enjoyed working with were the hospital auxiliary, Funtastic, and Vernon Winter Carnival. Kenand Lil enjoyed travels in their motor home as well and Ken especially loved to play golf, which he played well into his 80's.
In more recent years, Ken and Florence have enjoyed time together, often taking a vacation by cruise ship and exploring new destinations. Florence has been a great support to Ken in so many ways. The family remain thankful for her presence in Ken's life.
Ken was predeceased by his wife Lil, his son Rick, his grandson Trevor, granddaughter Katie and his parents Carl and Eva Nistor. He is survived by his daughter Sheree Noyes (Gary), his sister Veronica Ploeger, his sister Shirley Ogasawara, his brother Bud Nistor, (Judy), special friend Florence Boyes, his beloved grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, as well as his many nieces and nephews.
He will be greatly missed by his loving family and friends who will gather at a later date for a celebration of Ken's life.
