Norman Allen was born in Nelson B.C. on August 27th 1941 and passed away at the Salmon Arm hospital on July 6th 2020 from advanced Prostate cancer. He is survived by sons Steven and Richard. His wife Karin Allen passed in 2010.
Norm grew up in Nelson and Creston B.C. He did a stint in the armed forces in the early sixties and spent a couple years in Germany, where he would meet his wife Karin (aka Leokadia). He began to raise his family in Nelson, then moved to Nakusp where he would start a long career in road maintenance, first with the Department of Highways, and then with private maintenance companies like Emcon. His career led to moves to Crawford Bay ,Revelstoke and Fernie where he rose up the management ladder. His finally stop was Celista where he was the foreman in the early 90’s. He retired in 2004.
He remained in Celista after his wife Karin passed, and could often be seen at the Scotch Creek market chatting with friends. He had a good sense of humour, and enjoyed a good joke. He will be missed.

It is with profound sadness that we share with you the passing of Jim Carter. Jim is survived by his best friend and loving wife of 59 years, Elaine. He is also survived by his daughter, Brenda (Kipp) and son, Jim (Andy), sister Diane, and extended family.
Dad had a zest for life. A love of animals, motorcycles and the outdoors fed his passion for adventure and his mechanical ability fuelled his enthusiasm for restoring vintage motorcycles. A stint in the hospital for 4 years, when he was a young boy, only made him more determined to chase his dreams of riding. He went on to compete in road racing and dirt flat tracking, at race tracks in Canada and the US.
Jim and Elaine started an excavating company in Port Coquitlam and shortly after the company and the family moved to the North Shuswap where Dad and Mom spent 46 wonderful years. Many people will remember Jim from Gem gravel, and his shiny red Mack dump truck.
After suffering a stroke, the hard decision was made to leave the house and property, he built with Elaine, and move to Salmon Arm in the fall of 2018. Dad was always determined and sported a smile upon his face no matter what. He was fun loving with an infectious laugh and will be missed greatly by many people.
No service is offered by Dad’s wishes. In lieu of any offerings we ask that a donation be made to the Salmon Arm branch of the BCSPCA.
