It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Dennis Anolik on April 23, 2012.

He leaves behind his three sons and one daughter: Brad Anolik, Weston Shupe, Devon Anolik and Chrissy Anolik. He also leaves behind his brother Jay Anolik, two grandchildren Giuseppe Vergata and Tarynne Gray, as well as numerous relatives and friends.

He will be dearly missed by all!

Dennis was born in Vancouver on January 20, 1956, soon after he moved to Kamloops where he spent his teenage and young adult years. Later, he became a father; they started a horse logging company in the early 80's. Soon after that, he moved to Cache Creek and became a glazer. He then moved to Vancouver to continue his trade for a number of years. Eventually, he moved back to Kamloops to be a truck driver for the remainder of his career.

Special thanks to Jay and Lorna Anolik, Terry and Lanny Shupe for helping his children through these tough times.

Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated in memory of Dennis.

A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, May 4, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. in the Schoening Funeral Chapel with Pastor Don Maione officiating.

Service arrangements entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service, 250-374-1454.
