A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, November 30th at 10:30 a.m. at Trinity Baptist Church, 1905 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC with interment in the Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery. Alvin Edwin Hammerstrom was born on Nov. 28, 1924 in Davis, SD, the eldest son of Clarence and Esther (Marks) Hammerstrom. Alvin's parents, with his three brothers and sister, farmed near Davis, SD. Alvin attained the rank of Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged in 1946, after serving in Korea. After returning to South Dakota, hew worked on his dairy farm until 1975 when he sold it and moved to Kelowna, British Columbia. Soon after arriving, he began a fourteen year career as an orchardist. Alvin was then appointed as a Field Service representative for the BC Fruit Packer's Association and retired after seven years of service. He is survived by his loving wife of sixty years, Delores, daughter Sheryl Korsch (Heinz), and sons: Lynn (Nila), Arden (Renae) and Kevin (Sara) along with five grandchildren: Michael (Gayla), Nathan (Emily), Ivy (Steve), April (Nathan) and Amanda (Luke), and three great-grandchildren: Kai, Cadon and Andon. Alvin loved learning new things and occupied his free time with hobbies such as wood carving and painting, various forms of needlework (cross-stitch, Brazilian embroidery, petit-point, quilting) and more recently jig-saw puzzles. He was an avid sports fan having participated in high school on the basketball, football and track and field teams. As an adult, he played baseball and softball in local church leagues and was virtually undefeatable at croquet. Alvin's love for sports didn't end with high school. Around the age fifty, he learned to snow ski and found his real love, golf. He enjoyed playing many rounds of golf with family and friends at various courses and was fortunate enough to make a hole-in-one. Alvin valued both family and friends. He enjoyed using his computer skills to keep in touch with many of them. He was always supportive of and present in the lives of his wife and children. Although Alvin was very busy with farming, he attended most of his family's school activities and church functions over the years. Alvin became a Christian in 1943 and served faithfully in the Baptist churches he attended as a Deacon, Trustee, Usher, Sunday School Superintendent and teacher. He had a very strong faith in the Lord and expressed God's love consistently and in many practical ways to his family and friends.
