BARTLE, Victor

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing in Kelowna of Victor after a courageous battle with Parkinson's. Victor was born in Odessa, Russia. In 1944, he and his parents left Russia. They arrived in Germany where they lived until 1950, they arrived in Odessa, SK.

He got his education at St. Augustine School and Campion College. He graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon with a Degree in Pharmacy. He had his own Drug Store, Bartle's Drugs. In 1976, Victor and his parents moved to Kelowna where he worked at various drug stores. He enjoyed gardening with his father. He also enjoyed singing and belonged to the Knights of Columbus Male Choir. In 2010, he could no longer live in his home so he became a resident at Village at Mill Creek. In Spring of 2014, he became a resident at Brookhaven until his passing. He was predeceased by his parents Julia and Edmund Bartle. He is survived by his cousin Pauline Boehm and her family of Regina, cousin Hilda Vogel and her family of Regina, cousin-in-law Martha Marbach and her family, as well as cousins in Germany.
