Blain McLeod of Kamloops, B.C. passed away December 2, 2009 at 80 years of age.

He was predeceased by his loving wife, Margaret (2008), and a daughter, Debbie (1980).

He is survived by his remaining children, Thelma Urton, Donna Porteous, Charyle Jonson and Gordon McLeod.

Blain was an rugged outdoorsman who moved to Prince George in 1949 and resided there for 35 years with his resilient wife and five lively children. He enjoyed many years of hunting and fishing in order to feed his family, as well as intrepid efforts on his trapline in extreme winter weather. He worked as a clever machinist for the Prince George Citizen newspaper for over 35 years and regularly contributed a witty adage to the daily ‘Now Hear This’. The family will miss Blain’s hilarious and prankish stories of his excursions into the bush as an avid young father.

Blain and Margaret moved to Kamloops in 1988 and enjoyed 24 years of togetherness in their vast garden.

Blain loved photography and anyone visiting them could only leave after having had their photo taken. Blain and Margaret moved to Logan Lake in 2002. Blain accumulated his personal library of over 10,000 books while residing in Logan Lake.

Blain and Margaret spent a year together in Kamloops Seniors Village where Blain spent all of his time with his beloved wife until she passed away peacefully, almost a year to the day before Blain.

Blain and Margaret wanted to be together for eternity.

They will both be deeply missed by their four remaining children along with grandchildren and great grandchildren, Fond memories will live on.

Special Thanks to Kamloops Seniors Village. There will be no formal ceremony.

Memorial donations in Blain’s memory may be made to the Parkinson’s Foundation of Canada.
