BOSTOCK – Raymond

1927 – 2011

 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and dear friend, Ray Bostock.  Ray was born in Kelowna on January 7, 1927, the son of Albert (Bert) and Ellen Bostock.  He passed away on July 11, 2011.  Ray was predeceased by his parents, his brother Ken and his sisters Dorothy and Joyce.  He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years Ann, and his four children (all living in the Kelowna area).  Sarah (Randy) Roberts, Bruce (Dawn) Bostock, Dan (Reta) Bostock and Jim (Laurie) Bostock, eight grandchildren, Heather (Evan) Eccles, Travis (Kimi) Klettke, Jerrod (Adrienne) Klettke, Jeffrey, Rachel, Spencer, Sydney Bostock and Jordan Roberts as well as his pride and joy – five great grandchildren, Joshua, Emmalee, Deacon, Calista and Levi.  Ray was an avid outdoorsman and an accomplished oarsman as a young man.  He won many, many championships, and, thanks to the support of the local community, was awarded the “Hector MacDonald Memorial Award” and named the “British Columbia Athlete of the Year” in 1952.  Ray owned and operated “Superior Floors” in Kelowna for over 40 years and spent his spare time fishing, hunting, rowing, snowmobiling and waterskiing.  His greatest pleasure was enjoying family and friends at “the cabin” at Oyama Lake.  Ray was known for his generosity, caring and his sense of humour; which will not soon be forgotten!  Funeral Service for Ray will be held at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, on Saturday, July 16, 2011 at 4:00 pm.  In lieu of flowers, and those wishing to honour Ray’s memory, may make a donation to the “Ray Bostock Memorial Bursary” c/o The Central Okanagan Bursary and Scholarship Society, #1-616 KLO Road, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 4X4 to be presented annually to students graduating from a school located in School District #23.   Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
