It is with great sadness the family of Joseph (Joe) Robert Rivard announce his passing on May 15, 2022 at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital.
Joe was born in 1943 in Innisfail Alberta. In 1978 Joe was transferred from Victoria to Salmon Arm to take up the role of Sheriff, serving the North Okanagan region until his retirement in 2002 after 35 years of service.
Joe will forever be remembered by his loving wife Linda, his children Lisa, Kathi, Christa, Rob and Alan and his grandchildren Carly, Jessica, Evan, Colby, Sydney, Olivia, Hannah, Jacob and Gavin. Joe also had a large extended family, many nieces and nephews and was a family favourite with them, always providing the humour and joy to any event.
Joe was predeceased by his parents Nap and Irene and his brother Larry Rivard.
Joe was well known for his quick wit, jokes and gentlemanly disposition. Joe loved to travel and the outdoors, with camping, fishing and even sometimes golf.
The family wishes to thank the Doctors of Salmon Arm Medical Clinic and the staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital for the wonderful care that they provided to Joe.
At Joe’s request there will not be a service. In lieu of flowers please donate to your favourite charity.
He was loved and will be terribly missed by all.

Sukovieff, Daniel Michael
September 10, 1951 – May 14, 2022
at the age of 70 years:
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Daniel Michael Sukovieff on Saturday May 14, 2022, at the age of 70 in Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Dan is survived by Darlene, his two sons Dustin of Williams Lake & Darrin of Vernon, his only grandchild Serenity Alexis Rose Sukovieff, brother Leonard (Sandy) sister Louise Rose and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He was predeceased in death by his parents Mike & Mary, his sister Ann Allan, sister Beverly, and his brother Joe.
Dan was born in Calgary, AB and moved as a young man to the Okanagan where he attended school and grew up with his parents and five siblings.
Dan married Darlene in 1979 and they made their home in Williams Lake. Dan was a hardworking man; after graduation Dan started a career with the Liquor Control Board in Kelowna than transferred to the Liquor Control Board in Williams Lake as an assistant manager. Looking for a new adventure Dan worked as an industrial first aid attendant at Gibraltar Mines. He went on to the purchasing division at Riverside Forest Products in Williams Lake before moving to Tolko Forest Products in Armstrong. Dan also held the position of field supervisor with Shell Oil in Fort St. John before retiring.
Dan’s happy place was the great outdoors where he enjoyed camping, fishing, and hunting. He especially enjoyed the annual hunting trips with family and friends and later his two sons. His greatest joy in life is when his sons were born, he now had two new hunting and fishing partners to introduce the vast outdoors to.
Dan will also be missed by his family, friends and those who knew him, but his legacy will live on. There are so many amazing memories to treasure.
A celebration for Dan is scheduled for early September 2022 in Vernon, BC.
The family would like to thank the doctors, (family physician Dr. Dippenaar) and the amazing nurses at Vernon Jubilee Hospital!
You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online obituary @www.fischersfuneralservices.com Donations can be made to the heart and stroke foundation.

Recently, my mom passed away suddenly in Palm Springs, California. My dad was devastated with grief, but he had some... amazing friends nearby who helped him thru the process.In order to start that process, they needed the name of a funeral service in Salmon Arm that the people in the states could be in contact with about the handling of the remains. One of the friends recommended Fischer's Funeral Services, so they were called and They were amazing..they handled all the paperwork and kept in close contact with both the funeral homes and the people dealing with certificates and such. They will also help the spouse with some paperwork regarding taxes if necessary.When my father and I went to see them regarding my mother's wishes, they were so accommodating and did not hesitate to do everything they could to make this as pleasant as they possibly could. We even changed our minds a few times about things at the last minute, and they made it all happen just the way we wanted.My mother didn't have the usual service and it was the best choice we could have made for her and Fischer's did everything to make the day absolutely beautiful from the room setup to the layout of the flowers and urn. They also supplied all the little stuff that you don't even think about in a time like that( paper plates, cutlery, coffee, tea, etc...) and it took a giant load off of my mind so I could concentrate on making this the best send off I could for my mom and for that, I will be forever grateful.I am quite bad to judge how much food and such to get for events , we had way, way too much leftover, but I felt happy about it because I knew it wouldn't go to waste. It gets donated to the local Women's shelter and so I feel that even though my mom is gone, she is still giving to others, and that is the best feeling.I was amazed at the cost of the service. I have heard horror stories about the thousands and thousands of dollars it can cost and I was concerned because of the situation in dealing with the US that the cost would be one of those stories, but that was the most reasonable cost I have ever seen, and a house will not have to be mortgaged to pay for it ... 😊A BIG shout out to Fischer's for all you did for me and my father and may the Heavens bless you both!read more
