In Loving Memory ~
It is with great sadness we mourn the passing of Jack Polovnikoff a wonderful and loving Husband, Father, Deda and Great Deda, of Thrums, BC. Jack passed away on May 1st, 2022 at the age of 92 at home with his loving wife Sara and grandson Riley by his side.
Jack was the son of Jacob and Mary Polovnikoff. He met the love of his life Sara Chernoff in 1947 and married on December 16th 1950. They were married for 71 years.
Jack is survived by his wife Sara, Children; Carol and Dennis Purdy, Brian and Audrey Polovnikoff, and Sam and Denise Polovnikoff, 7 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.
Jack made his living from the Polovnikoffs' Store in Thrums and from the land. He ran the store from a young age with his parents, eventually taking over to run with his family. As well as managing the store Jack and Sara worked the land and sold their harvests to the local grocers. While working incredibly hard he always made time for family. Family was Jack's proudest achievement in life impacting his family's lives in such remarkable ways. Having a family that was happy, healthy and living well was a great source of joy for him.
Jack retired at 65, closing the Polovnikoff Store in 1995. After retirement he continued his passion for gardening and taking care of the land; as well as time with family, golf, going on fishing trips and travelling.
Jack will forever be in our hearts.
