Jacob (Jack) Becker

July 26, 1929 – March 23, 2022

It is with heavy hearts we announce that Jack Becker passed away peacefully on March 23, 2022.

He was predeceased by the love of his life, Bernice Becker, his parents and siblings.

Jack will be loving remembered by daughter, Pat (Herb) Wycherley; son, Bob Becker; daughter, Anne (Robert) Farnan; grandson, Brad (Kayla); granddaughters, Melissa (Chris), Kate, Keara; and great grandchildren Brook and Jacob.

Jack grew up in Oliver. He joined the RCMP in 1951, which led him to meet Bernice at his first posting in Estevan, SK. Transfers in the RCMP took them and their family to North Vancouver, Vancouver Subdivision, “E” Division Headquarters in Victoria, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge and final posting in Burnaby. Jack retired in 1981, at which time he and Bernice built their retirement home in Osoyoos.

Jack was a long-time participant in Barbershop singing, an Osoyoos Town Councilor, on the Board of Osoyoos Golf Club, on the Board of Osoyoos Credit Union and the coroner for the South Okanagan.

He was a true and absolute gentleman. Always a warm handshake, big hug, a kind word and joyful smile for everyone he met. His wife and family were truly the most important things in his life, as well as the grand dogs.

He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

A Celebration of Life Reception will take place on Saturday, April 2, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. at the Osoyoos Golf Club. Donations in memory of Jack will be gratefully accepted by South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation. Condolences and tributes may be left for the family by visiting www.nunes-pottinger.com
