It is with great sadness and sorrow that we announce the passing of our dear father, Howard John Pinchbeck of Chase, B.C., at the age of 66.
Howie was born and raised in Kamloops, B.C. then moved to Calgary, Alberta where he graduated from the Aircraft Maintenance program at SAIT in 1960. He worked for Foothills Aviation, which became Klondike Helicopters, which then became Kenting Helicopters, where he was the maintenance manager until 1986. His next move was to Richmond, B.C. to become the Director of Maintenance for Highland Helicopters until his retirement in 2002. Howie became the Director of Retirement in the Shuswap area where he enjoyed boating, fishing, trail riding and camping with his brother and best friend Rob.
