ELTON, Dennis Hardinge

Dennis passed away peacefully on May 5, 2022, at the age of 90 years, surrounded by family at Hospice House in Kelowna.
Dennis was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He lived a very colourful, great life. Music played an important role in his life, beginning with the Kitsilano Boys Band (aged 8 to 18), and resuming trumpet playing upon retirement, from age 60 to 90. Dennis participated in numerous bands such as the Richmond Legion Band, the New Westminster Metro Band, Little Mountain Brass Band, and the Kelowna City Concert Band, just to mention a few.
Dennis’ love of flying led him to pursue an aviation career with the R.C.A.F. and R.A.F. as both pilot and flying instructor, in the 1950s and 1960s. Dennis then joined Air Canada, working as a Customer Service Representative, for over 28 years, until retiring in 1992. Dennis also participated in many community activities over the years, such as scouting, soccer refereeing, playing soccer, becoming President of the B.C.S.P.C.A. (3 years), etc.
Dennis enjoyed engaging with people from all walks of life: whether at work, at church, volunteering, or through entertaining the public with the various bands, making many friends along the way. Most of Dennis’ life was lived in the Lower Mainland, before moving to Missionwood Resort in Kelowna in 2017.
Dennis’ second wife, Chorynn, predeceased him in 2019. He is survived by his daughter Leslie (Drew) and son Douglas (Lori); grandchildren Laura (Rob), Ian, Sara (Brandon), Jacquelyn, and Taylor (Karsten); and great-grandchildren Dominic and Fable. Other surviving relatives include Dennis’ younger brother, Jim, and nephews, Burton (Marilyn) and Leslie.
