Rob Somerville

I go back a long way with the Somerville’s

Audrye was a friend of my mom

Don Somerville (owner and publisher of Oliver Chronicle)  hired me as a cub reporter before I went on to Vancouver.

Rob printed all my election material and stationery for Oliver Daily News 1984-2014

Rob and I discussed his children and his life, he was a quiet friend – always wanting to get home to Teresa.

He will be missed at the Times Chronicle – for sure.

Rob will missed at the OK Falls Fire Department as well.

 

Thanks to photo guy Dan Walton

Rob passed last week – a shock to many and me.

Thanks to Lyonel for allowing me to use this one public picture of Rob.

Rob’s siblings Chris Norton, Pat Somerville, Pamela Minor, Dee Petersen and Elizabeth Richens.

From Okanagan Falls fire department:

“Captain Somerville was an active member of the department serving his community for more than 26 years. He leaves behind his wife, Teresa. Children; Darren, Jordan, Alan, as well as Grandchildren.
Our flag will be lowered to half mast on October 17th, for 5 days in observation of his passing.”
