Pigeon, Roy Mourise
July 8, 1927 – July 8, 2020
on his 93rd Birthday –
It is with heavy hearts and much sadness we announce the passing of our father & grandfather Roy Pigeon on his 93rd birthday, July 8, with his family by his side.
Roy was born in Drumheller in 1927 and moved to Jasper in 1954 where he met and married Marg. Together they raised five children. After 30 years with Alberta Power, Dad retired and moved west to BC to enjoy the warmer climate. They settled in Enderby and spent the next 25 years enjoying the slower pace in this small town.
In March of 2006 Roy lost Marg after almost 50 years of marriage. Being a tough old bird, Dad soldiered on spending time building boats, mowing lawns and playing crib with his good friend Ken. Dad received his Life Membership in 1987 at Branch 31 Jasper, he was a volunteer with the Royal Canadian Legion and in 2005 received the highest award given any member, the Meritorious Medal of Service at Brand 98 Enderby.
He is survived by his kids Ross (Joan), Ken (Deb), Wendy and Sue, Murray, Janes (Jesse) and grandkids Clinton, Jessie, Timothy, Jorja and Kallie.
Roy will be sorely missed but will always be in our hearts. Rest easy now Dad.
As per Roy’s wishes, there will be no service. Memorial donation in his honour may be made to the Enderby Legion or the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada.

Recently, my mom passed away suddenly in Palm Springs, California. My dad was devastated with grief, but he had some amazing friends nearby who helped him thru the process.In order to start that process, they needed the name of a funeral service in Salmon Arm that the people in the states could be in contact with about the handling of the remains. One of the friends recommended Fischer's Funeral Services, so they were called and They were amazing..they handled all the paperwork and kept in close contact with both the funeral homes and the people dealing with certificates and such. They will also help the spouse with some paperwork regarding taxes if necessary.When my father and I went to see them regarding my mother's wishes, they were so accommodating and did not hesitate to do everything they could to make this as pleasant as they possibly could. We even changed our minds a few times about things at the last minute, and they made it all happen just the way we wanted.My mother didn't have the usual service and it was the best choice we could have made for her and Fischer's did everything to make the day absolutely beautiful from the room setup to the layout of the flowers and urn. They also supplied all the little stuff that you don't even think about in a time like that( paper plates, cutlery, coffee, tea, etc...) and it took a giant load off of my mind so I could concentrate on making this the best send off I could for my mom and for that, I will be forever grateful.I am quite bad to judge how much food and such to get for events , we had way, way too much leftover, but I felt happy about it because I knew it wouldn't go to waste. It gets donated to the local Women's shelter and so I feel that even though my mom is gone, she is still giving to others, and that is the best feeling.I was amazed at the cost of the service. I have heard horror stories about the thousands and thousands of dollars it can cost and I was concerned because of the situation in dealing with the US that the cost would be one of those stories, but that was the most reasonable cost I have ever seen, and a house will not have to be mortgaged to pay for it ... 😊A BIG shout out to Fischer's for all you did for me and my father and may the Heavens bless you both!
