May 10, 1937 - July 21, 2019
It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our beloved Papi. On July 21 he passed away peacefully with family at his side. He maintained his joy of living throughout his illness, making his way to the Cottonwood Lake dock for fishing until his last days.
He moved to Nelson in 2011 after a successful farming career and life in Rimbey, Alberta and his native Guntmadingen, Switzerland.
His children who will remember him with much love and gratitude: Claudia (Kevin), Adrian, Priska, Jeannette, Christine(Ryan), and their mother Elisabeth Bolli-Tanner.
We are grateful for the heartfelt support from Dr. Mackay, Dr. Malpass, his nurses and everyone who supported his care at home.
Donations in his memory may be made in support of permanently preserving Cottonwood Lake Park. To do so, ask for an envelope with his name at El Taco, in Nelson, BC or email for donation instructions to saveapextocottonwood@gmail.com
An informal memorial get-together will be determined at a later date. A tribute to his life can be found on the website of Castlegar Funeral Chapel, https://www.castlegarfuneral.com/hanspeter-bolli/
