In Loving Memory HERBERT DANIEL CARRELL 1919 - 2007 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Herbert Daniel Carrell on June 3, 2007 at the age of 87 years. "Herb" is survived by his brothers Raymond of Kamloops and John of Victoria; sisters: Helen of Victoria and Anne of Williams Lake. These four siblings are the remaining members of a family of ten children who originated from Herbert, Saskatchewan. Of Herb's four children, two live in Kamloops; Larry and Len; Marilyn lives in Mexico City and Diane, the oldest, lives in Enderby, BC. Herb also has ten grandchildren: Carey, Trevor, Margaret, Dan, Steve, Michael, Rob, Stacey, Marci and Tracy. There are also four great grandchildren; Khai and Noah in Edmonton and twins in Mexico City. Herb lived an interesting life. He moved west to Chilliwack following the depression in the 1930's and ended up on the west coast of Vancouver Island in a little town called Zeballos with a new hammer in hand and a lot of enthusiasm. He was able to get work there in a gold mine and managed to send most of his money home to support the family. When the war came, he joined the air force in Calgary and married Margaret Stovell from Langley. After the war, he moved to Vancouver and became a foreman at the Hayes truck plant. Herb then decided to raise his children in the country by taking over the family farm in Chilliwack. Alas, he was a builder, fabricator and inventor, not a farmer. He purchased a machine shop, which eventually produced machinery sold all over the world. Two of his most notable creations were the first mechanical raspberry picker and a spiral culvert machine that is still in use in many parts of the world today. Herb retired from business but never quit fixing and building things. His next move was to Oliver, BC where he joined the Fairview Mountain Golf Course. Soon he was on the Board of Directors where he designed the cart sheds and one of the club houses, as well as supervising the expansion to 18 holes. When the course was finished, he was invited to hit the first ball at the opening ceremonies. He was eventually honored with a lifetime membership to Fairview Mountain. Ironically, Herb's first stroke was a result of back surgery that would have enabled him to golf more often. Four years ago, the family moved him to Kamloops to receive more care and be closer to family. A big thank you is in order to the staff of The Shores, Greenfield Place, Ponderosa Lodge and Overlander Extended Care for their wonderful support and care while Herb was with them. A special thanks to Audrie and Ralph Horner and family at Ponderosa for their support and inspiration. A special thanks also to Aunt Sheryl. An informal family gathering is planned at MacArthur Island on Saturday, June 9th, 2007 at the Oasis Restaurant at 9:30 am. The family requests that any memorial donations be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC, 201-635 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2B3. Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Justin Clark of Personal Alternative Funeral Services, 554-2324.
