Oliver Frederick Forsyth

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our Father/Grandfather, Oliver “Ollie” Frederick Forsyth on November 29, 2022 at the age of 80. Dad was born May 16, 1942 to Mary and Bill Forsyth in Paradise Hill, Saskatchewan. Dad’s early years were spent on the family farm.

Dad joined the RCMP in 1962, his postings took him to many communities including; Queen Charlotte Islands, Nelson, Langley and Prince Rupert: retiring in 1988 with the rank of Staff Sergeant.

Following his RCMP career, Dad kept busy working at KXA, the John Howard Society and Rocky Mountain Tours. An avid golfer, hunter and angler; Dad enjoyed spending time outdoors, especially in his vegetable garden. Whatever he was unable to use as the growing months came to an end, was canned by his own hands to enjoy during the winter months.

Ollie was predeceased by his parents Mary and Bill, sister Trudy (Bob) Jones, sister Ellie (Howard) McCarthy. Nephew in law Alan Anchikoski.

Left to cherish Dads memory; son David (Noreen) and their daughters Julia and Brooke. Son Robert (Kim) and their children Jordan, Kyron, Nicholas, Tayson and Caylum. Niece Anne Anchikoski and her sons Cole, Mitchell and Chase.

The family would like to thank the nurses and doctors at Royal Inland Hospital for their care and compassion during Dads last few months.

A Celebration of Life tea will be held 1:00 pm, Tuesday, May 30, 2023 in the Schoening Tea Room, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, British Columbia.
