With great shock and extreme sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Wilfred (Wilfeo) Smith. Wilf was an auctioneer for BC livestock for 34 years then decided to take a step back and be a contractor for them for the last five years to enjoy being semi-retired. The people’s lives he touched along the way were endless. Wilf was one of the most genuine, kind hearted human one could meet and he will be deeply missed by many friends, family, and the cattle industry. Pre-deceased by his father Lawrence, mother Margaret, and daughter Tammie. Wilf’s legacy will live through who he leaves behind, his loving wife of over 50 years Darlene, his son Jay (Lori), his son in law Brent, his grandchildren Stephanie (Michael), Curtis (Sydney) and great granddaughter Nova. Wilf was an honest, sincere, hardworking man, who you could always count on putting a smile on your face with his kind sense of humor. He was proud to be acknowledged in 2018 to become a lifetime member at the Williams Lake Stampede Grounds. A celebration of life will be held at the Williams Lake Stampede Grounds on Saturday, October 8th, 2022 at 10:00am.

Well Salmon Arm, we lost one of the good o’l boys in the wee hours of August 31st, 2022, in his own home where he wanted to be. “Papa” Jim Piggott was a quiet man and had but one gear, bo low. He never seemed to be in a hurry for anything except to get to the coffee group, there was always time for coffee and a scratch ticket at the Matchbox.
Jim was born in Maryfield, Saskatchewan to Ivy and James Piggott, little brother to Howard and Doug. The family farm was located near Ebor, Manitoba where Jim learned to do most everything farming related. He even taught himself how to play guitar to occupy his down time.
He met Patricia (nee Castle) at one of the country dances, soon after they married and started a family of their own. Brother Howard offered him a job in Salmon Arm and in 1964 the family packed up and settled here. Jim, Pat and the children Bill (Cindy), Wes, Ann (Peter) Laitinen and Howard (Brenda) embraced Salmon Arm and are still active in the community today.
Papa Jim was very proud of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He had a great sense of humor and loved music.
The family wishes to thank the community care team.
Graveside service is planned for September 10th at 2:00 p.m. at Mt. Ida Cemetery with a gathering to celebrate his life at Ann’s home after.
