Wednesday, March 10, 2010 JONES, William JONES, William (Bugsy) passed away in Honolulu, Hawaii on March 5th, 2010 at the age of 81 years. Bill was predeceased by his brother, Stan, and is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Barbara, his four children, Gail Hill (children Barbie, Mike & Kelly), Bob Jones (wife Shelley & children Brittany & Alex), Terry Harding (husband Don & children Keith & Julie) & Laurie Jones (partner Tom O’Reilly & children Dave & Teri Shortreed), sister Eileen Baldwin, brothers Bob & Bruce Jones and seven great-grandchildren. Bill was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1929. At the age of 16, he left his hometown to play professional hockey in the American league, where he was named MVP of the Springfield Indians in 1951-52. Bill then moved to Kelowna to play for the Packers in 1955, who were inducted into the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame in 2009. After having children, Bill worked as a steel worker on the Okanagan Bridge and as the story goes, told his kids he built it all by himself. In 1968, he bought Lakeview Market. Until the day he left for his annual winter holiday in Hawaii, he still loved to greet his customers and take out their groceries. Friends and family will remember Bill for his unrelenting generosity, his great sense of humour and most of all, the way he would greet everyone he knew with his big smile, quick wit & boisterous laugh that will echo throughout the walls of Lakeview Market forever. He loved hard & was loved hard back by his friends, his Lakeview Market family (and they were his family) & most of all his wife, children & grandchildren. When God made this man, He truly broke the mold. Bill was one of a kind. We will miss him dearly. A celebration of Bill’s life will be held at Kelowna Golf & Country Club on Tuesday, March 16th, 2pm-5pm for family and close friends. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Children’s Hospital BC, c/o Tribute Program, 938 West 28th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 4H4.

Jim is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Myrt, "Number 1" son Scot (Stephanie) of Winnipeg and "Number 2" son Matt (Karen) of Trinidad. He was a loving and caring grandfather "Grampie" to Kristoph and Kaela and "Baka Jim" to Jessie Jane.

Jim retired from Management with CPRail in October, 1989 in Winnipeg. He and Myrt moved to Kelowna, BC right after his retirement where they spent 14 very enjoyable years on Lake Okanagan.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010 HUTTON, Kathryn HUTTON, Kathryn Mary March 31, 1921 to March 6, 2010 Kathryn’s sweet, loving personality, and keen sense of humour will be sadly missed by the families she leaves behind: Daughter Shirley and family; Step Daughter Jennifer and family; Sister Dorothy Mackie and family; Brother Harvey Balderston and family. Kathryn was born in Kindersley, Saskatchewan and went on to Business College in Saskatoon. Her adventurous soul took her to Kelowna, Vancouver and Calgary. Being at the forefront of the computer age Kathryn loved to learn and relished this new era with determination as she did everything in her life. She was lucky to have had two special loves Albert Duke, her first husband (deceased December 24, 1972) and Frank Hutton (deceased January 26, 2002). She was involved in many activities in the Westbank United Church, Thrift Store, Westbank Seniors Centre, and the Westbank Health Network. Her thirst for travel took her to such places as Egypt, Greece, Ommeramagaw Germany "Passion" Play, Rome and England. But her most favorite passion was Ballroom Dancing, and now as she does her final dance, she waltzes her way to a place of peace where her mind is sharp and her steps are lively once more. Celebration of Kathryn’s life will be held Thursday March 11, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. at Westbank United Church.
