Paul Edwin Farnham

November 29, 1930 – March 6, 2015

It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Paul Farnham at age 84.

He was predeceased by his parents, George Henry and Eva, and a sister Elsie. He is lovingly remembered by his wife Esmé, his brother John (Joan) of Calgary, sisters Shirley of Golden Grove, NB, and Theresa of Fredericton, daughters Patricia (Mike) of Sidney, BC, Wendy of Victoria, Catherine (Trevor) of Sorrento, and grandchildren Tanner (Nytasha), Miranda, Catriona, Alanna, Samara, and Heather.

Paul was born at home in Milltown, NB. The family moved to a farm at Bayside, NB where he attended an 8-grade school in Bartlett Mills and then high school in St. Andrews. He worked for the Bank of Nova Scotia in NB and in Vancouver before moving to Kamloops in 1953. Here he worked for two associated sawmills, Kamloops Lumber Ltd and Fadear Creek Lumber Co Ltd, and later at Talisman Cedar Ltd (Blue River), W.J. Ellis Co Ltd, and Roger Webber, doing bookkeeping and accounting. With his longtime friend Fred, he owned and ran a land development company, Leafar Lands Ltd.

Paul married the love of his life, Esmé Richards, in 1960 and raised their three daughters. He enjoyed hiking, hunting, gardening, cutting firewood, summers at the Shuswap, cross-country skiing, and playing bridge and darts with friends. He was a member of the Kamloops Outdoor Club, the Overlander Ski Club, and the Anglican Church.
