Mr. Martin Lingor of Hope, B.C. passed away suddenly on September 3, 2007 at the age of 87. Born on March 13, 1920 in Mankota, Sask, Martin led a very active life until his death.

He is survived by his daughters Beverly and husband Michael Wilkinson of Duncan and Rosemary Lingor of Kamloops. Also by his sisters Ann Hrynuk and Rose Luckey or Kelowna, brothers Clem and his wife June of Kelowna and Nick of North Vancouver.
