We Remember
KRISTEL, Eric
November 5, 1929 — June 23, 2012
On Saturday, June 23rd, Eric passed away suddenly into the arms of his Lord and Saviour. Survived by his loving family, his wife of 20 years, Lil; his children and step-children, Michelle, Leslie (Seema), Sheldon (Marlene), Brenda, Kelvin (Jodi), and Cheryl (Warren); 14 grandchildren, Castina (Mike), Brittany, Stephanie, Rachelle, Sarah, Nathan, Aaron, Micah, Jesse, Rebekah, Kelsey, Kaitlin, Ethan and Hannah and 2 great granddaughters, Emma and Abby; his brother Frank (Elfrieda) and 3 sisters, Frieda (Rolf), Hilda and Esther; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother Emil and his first wife Frieda. He was a very kind, gentle, loving and Godly man. The best comfort we have is that “he is having a party in heaven with Jesus” quoted by his four year old granddaughter. A Celebration of Eric’s life will be held on Saturday, June 30, 2012 at 1:00 pm at Evangel Church, 3261 Gordon Drive, Kelowna, with Pastor Will Sohnchen officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to ERDO (Emergency Relief & Development Overseas): 2450 Milltower Court, Mississauga, ON, L5N 5Z6.

Lil and family, I was terribly shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Eric. I always enjoyed his company and little chats we shared. You have my utmost sympathy and I am praying for you specifically. May you know His comfort.

On behalf of my entire family, we are devastated by the passing of our dear uncle and for my mom, her big brother. Our tears flow with yours and our hearts ache with the sadness of knowing we won’t see him again … until we catch up later. We loved him as we do those he left behind. God bless you and keep you strong.
Dear Lil, and combined families of Eric and Lil:
Our family is so very saddened by the loss of a dear brother, uncle, your husband and friend,father, step-father, grand and great grandfather.
We join you in your sorrow, your aching hearts,and tears but know very well that Eric is at peace in heaven and has lived his “dash” with honesty, integrity,and compassion and consideration for all those whose lives he touched. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.
