KORPIAHO, Alfred

Mr. Alfred Korpiaho, 85 years of age, of Kelowna, BC, passed away peacefully on March 9, 2017. He is survived by his wife, Hilkka, their three daughters, and their families.  Alfred was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario on June 24, 1931.  He left his family with fond memories of camping, fishing and travelling. Alfred and Hilkka relocated to Kelowna, BC, in 2010. He loved the milder climate and the company of his beloved dog, Tippy. Alfred was a happy soul who loved to laugh.

 

God looked around his garden

and found an empty space,

He then looked down upon this earth

and saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you

And lifted you to rest;

God’s garden must be beautiful,

He only takes the best.

He knew the road was getting rough

and the hills were hard to climb,

so he closed your weary eyelids

and whispered, Peace be thine.

It broke our hearts to lose you

but you did not go alone,

for part of us went with you

the day God called you home.
