We Remember
DRISCOLL, Fred
August 10, 1938 — May 22, 2018
Fred Driscoll passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 22, 2018, at the age of 79; just over a year after his wife (Madeline Driscoll) passed in 2017. Fred was born in Saint Boniface, Manitoba but grew up in Kelowna and was well known for his logging business “Driscoll Logging”. He was a huge vehicle enthusiast and owned numerous amounts of antique cars and well-maintained trucks. Fred and Madeline shared a love for animals and owned many dogs from the boxer breed. The family will greatly miss the Christmas traditions hosted at the Driscoll household.
Fred is survived by his sister Jean (Leo) Bulach, Don (Dale) Driscoll, Marjorie Graf, brother-in-law Wilf Davis all of Kelowna and sister-in-law Faye Driscoll; nieces: Lisa (Rick) Bronstein, Carrie (Russ) Robbins, Sherry (Bob) Deubner, Sandra (Dwayne) Jeaurond, Laurie Graf, Donna (Brian) Lauer, Bobbi (Jason) Driscoll all of Kelowna, BC and Rosie (Phil) Vetra, Jesse Vetra, Alanna (Dale) Seward of Langley; nephews Shane (Katie) Driscoll of Kelowna, Ross (Geri) Davis of Winfield and Todd (April) Davis of Kelowna. Pre-deceased by sister Patti Davis, brother Ken Driscoll and brother-in-law Hermann Graf. There will be no service as per request.

My deepest sympathy,to all the family .l worked for Fred ,when he was still logging. He was one of the best bosses , I ever had . I worked with Fred in Prince George, revelstoke,and Mabel lake. I will cherish all those memories. With sympathy, Bob stone.
So very sorry to hear of Fred’s passing. He is now reunited with the love of his life Maddy. The Thompson family goes a long way back with Maddy and Fred and share many happy memories over the years in Kelowna. May his family find peace in knowing they are reunited again. 💞

We were deeply saddened to hear of Fred’s death even though he had been ill for so long. Dwight maintained a friendship with Fred down through the years and they had plenty of long and interesting discussions! We’ll miss Fred a lot. Thankfully we have the blessed assurance of something better to come! Our condolences to all the family. Dwight & Donna (Kelowna)
Driscoll Family. I guess i knew Fred my whole life as he was friends with my brother and sister years ago in Palo Alto. We have some old home movies that he is in, would have been 60 or 61. I was sad to learn he had passed away but i think i d heard he d been ill, and also missing his wife. Thankfully we know that we will see him again someday. Donna
