Frank Kolotylo, aged 85, passed away on Sunday April 16, 2017 in Salmon Arm, BC from cancer.  


Frank was born December 29, 1931 in Rivers, MB and moved to Vancouver, BC in 1955.  In 1956 he moved to Williams Lake, worked at PGE and then BC Rail until 1992 when he and wife Dorothy retired to Salmon Arm.  While raising a family in Williams Lake, Frank was involved in the Glendale Recreation Association, Boy Scouts, hockey coach and Old Time Fiddlers.  Once retired, he kept his sense of humour while playing his fiddle for different groups around Salmon Arm, Grinrod and Enderby.


He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Dorothy, children Nick (Carolyn), Becky, Kathy (Wes), Andy (Jennifer) and ten grandchildren Richard, Francesca (Colin), Liam (Haley), Oscar, James, Jacquelyn, Elizabeth and Gracie.  He was pre-deceased by both parents and all his siblings.


At Frank’s request, there will not be a service but whenever you hear a fiddle playing, please remember him and smile.
