ORTIZ, JOHN EDWARD 1936 - 2012 Diagnosed with lung cancer in August this year, Dad fought a hard battle until his passing December 6, 2012. Fortunately, most of his loving family were with him, and friends were able to visit him before his passing. Life for Dad and Mom began together in the "land of the pale blue snow", Churchill, Manitoba, when Dad was stationed there with the US Army and Mom was with the National Harbor's Board. Life's travels had children born in Indiana, USA, daughter Johnna, The Pas, Manitoba, son Jim, and North Delta, BC, son Sean. Always hard workers, dreams, homes, careers and family were built and nurtured to the final culmination of semi-retiring to Penticton in 1991, when mom and dad opened their home to share their love of Riordan House to guests. Many Pentictonites will remember the combined civic involvement over the years, including Crime Stoppers, Historical Society, Heritage Committee, ICBC Road Safety Committee, MS Walk, Eagles and Okanagan Motorcycle
