We Remember
Turick, Clifford Lawrence
—
Clifford Lawrence Turick of Kelowna B.C., beloved husband and best friend of Janice (Born) Turick, passed away peacefully surrounded by the ones he laughed with, lived for and loved on September 14, 2012.
Cliff was an incredibly intelligent man who enjoyed life to the fullest, and lived his everyday with the biggest smile always. He will be sadly missed by everyone who had the honour of truly knowing “Cliffy”.
Cliff will stay with us always, he leaves to cherish his memory, his loving wife Janice, his daughter Dawne, son Dustin (Jocelyn), grandkids Cassidy and Bobby, two sisters Georgina, Lorna and one brother Brian (Stephanie). He was predeceased in death by his loving mother Emilia and father Steve Turick. Cliff also leaves a host of many loving friends, far too many to list- but you know who you are.
In his leisure Cliffy enjoyed spending every moment with his “Girls” – Bella and Mocha, his two overly obnoxious boxers, but that’s exactly how he liked them. Nothing made him smile more than watching guests fend off the “Girls” as they arrived to visit. He also loved to fish with Dustin and anyone else that would take him along. Cliff loved being at his granddaughter’s barn in Langley surrounded by horses and watching Cassidy pick up poop, and of course ride. The jokes were always flying, but we had the luckiest horses in the lower mainland, Cliff always made sure he had freshly imported carrots or apples from Kelowna when visiting them.
Cliff was a local realtor here in town, working for Realty Executives. He loved his job and his clients were never just clients- they became friends. Cliff would go to any length to help all those who listed with him, seeing others happy and successful contributed to his amazingly infectious smile that he carried with him EVERYDAY!!
Cliff’s family will be holding a celebration of his life at a later date still to be determined. If you wish to attend please email your contact info to dawnerussellis@hotmail.com.

We remember Cliff’s always ready smile and cheerful greetings. He had a big heart, always willing to help those around him. Good neighbours are hard to find (As Cliff Knew). He will be missed and not forgotten.
To all those that Cliff loved. I am so very sorry to hear he is gone. It is far too soon, and I will miss his upbeat personality and jokes at our Realtor’s functions. He was a very positive man who truly enjoyed life. My sincerest condolences to his family and Janice. Christine Reimann
So surprised and sadden to hear of Cliffs passing. He was a great man always smiling. Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of Cliff’s passing. Deepest condolences to all of Cliff’s family. Please let us know it there’s anything we can do.
Our heartfelt condolences to the Turick family and Cliff’s many friends. We will miss him at the dog park with the girls…they always made us smile.
We were saddened to hear of Cliff’s passing. Our condolences go out to his 2 sons , Todd (Renata)Turick and Rod (Julia)Turick and grandchildren Logan and Alba.
My thoughts and prayers to your family at this time. I knew Cliff from Westbank Doggy Park, my 2 Beagles had many play dates with Cliffs Boxers and there sure was alot of chasing to be had. Im sure Mocha and Belle will miss their Master very much and I know we will miss seing Cliff at the park as well.
I, also, was saddened to hear of Cliff leaving all of us. I spent 18 years with he and his family (Bev, Todd, Rodney) when they lived in Richmond. Years of playing baseball and watching our kids grow up together. Life took it’s twists, but there were still some good memories of those years. Forever rest in peace, Cliff. My thoughts are with his family in Kelowna.
Cliff was a great friend of ours. After meeting him as our realtor 10 years ago he became a good friend of ours. Cliff always had a smiling face and a big hug for everyone. We will truly miss him. He was one of the most positive people, if you asked him how he was it was always great! That’s how life should be. He enjoyed it to the fullest. We will miss you Cliff. Love Rick and Lori
I was so shocked to hear of Cliff’s passing. My sincere condolences to all his family members. (Present & Past). I was his Best Man at his first wedding in Winnipeg some 40 odd years ago. He was our agent when we moved to Veron 9 years ago. Rest in peace my friend.
We were very sad when we heard that Cliff was no longer with us. He was great! He believed in me when I was just starting in the Financial industry and he became a dear friend. He always asked me if our house was ready to put up for sale and threatened that he was going to put up a “For Sale” sign in the lawn. He cared deeply for his wife Janice and made sure she was looked after then and now. He found joy and fulfilment in helping those in need. He will be Missed!

Will miss the infectious laugh, he always had a smile on his face and made you feel like he really was happy to see you. Will miss him but remember the good times with him and his amazing wife Janice.XOXO
I worked with Cliff for 5 years at the Tilbury cement plant, we kept in touch over the years. When I heard he had become a real estate agent, I told him it was a perfect fit. Recently on Sept 7/12 I had lunch with him in West Kelowna, so was very sadden to hear of his passing. My thoughts go out to the entire family.
