On September 22, 1963 Charlie Hambrook was born to Tom and Jean Hambrook in Kamloops, British Columbia. Charlie was a very happy child and enjoyed a wonderful childhood with his parents. Five years later brother James Hambrook was born and their family was complete.

Due to his father’s work Charlie had attended a few schools through his grade school years finishing his grade twelve in Kamloops, British Columbia.

Charlie went to Fairview College in 1982, and a year later, he met the love of his life Miss Darcy Remenyk, and they have been inseparable ever since. They were married on July 13, 1985 and have celebrated 25 years of happy marriage with two children. On July 12, 1990 son Terry was born. February 25, 1993 daughter Robyn was born.

Charlie and his family have lived in Bonanza Alberta for about the last 25 years.

Charlie was never afraid of hard work, and would drop what he was doing to help someone else. He has worked in many fields, finally finding his place in the family at Gerry’s Well Service for about the last 13 years. Charlie worked hard on the farm and enjoyed many good years with his young family. Charlie was a quiet man and never seemed to be ruffled by anything, and he was always quick with a joke. Many people have had the pleasure of working with Charlie.

Sadly on the morning of July 28, 2010 Charlie left our world. He is succeeded by his wife Darcy, son Terry, daughter Robyn, father Tom, mother Jean, brother James, brothers and sisters in-law, nieces and nephews, and many aunts and uncles.

Charlie will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

A funeral service was held in celebration of Charlie’s life, on August 6, 2010 at the Bonanza Community Hall. Interment followed in the Hillhaven Cemetery, Bonanza, Alberta.

In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy in memory of Charlie, may be made by donation to a charity of your choice.
