1987 after 20 dedicated years of service.  Leo and

Therese with their servant hearts, never hesitated to

help family, church and community. His joy in life was his family and serving God.  Leo was a quiet, kind and gentle man whose actions spoke louder than his words.  He was a role model to all who knew him. A special thank you from the Larmand family to Dr. Bobyn for his faithful dedication that always went above and beyond our expectations and to all the staff and nurses at Spring Valley Care Home for all their kindness and loving care of our Dad.  Prayers will be recited on Thursday, October 22nd at 5:30 pm at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, 750 Rutland Road North, Kelowna, BC.  A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, October 23rd at 10:30 am also at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church.  Interment will take place at the St. Theresa’s Catholic Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to the St. Vincent de Paul Society, c/o St. Theresa’s Church or the Alzheimer Society of BC, Suite 307-1664 Richter Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 8N3.
