Henry “Hank” Syrnick
After a brief illness at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC, Hank passed away peacefully at the age of 66.
Hank was born October 11, 1943 to Dmytro and Pearl Syrnick in Dauphin, Manitoba. There he grew up with his brothers and sisters and then moved to BC in 1966. Once he established his career with BC Tel he planted his roots in Kamloops, BC and raised his daughters Yvette (Rick) and Tanya (Adrian).
He spent many years on bowling and soft ball leagues and gradually settled into golf and crossword puzzles once he retired from TELUS Communications. After retirement he spent his last years with Tracy, his partner and friend, and her three children Jason, Kyle and Brittani and his beloved puppy Winston.
Hank is survived by his partner Tracy and her children Jason, Kyle and Brittani, his daughters Yvette (Rick) and Tanya (Adrian) and his grandchildren Michelle, Taylor, Jaden and Dallin as well as the Mother of his children Valerie (Andre). He is also survived by his siblings Alice (Pete), Stan (Irene), Ernest and Helen (Orest) and brother–in–law Al.
Hank is predeceased by his parents and his sisters Phyllis, Fran (Brian) and brother Mike.
He will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews, and cousins as well as numerous friends through out Kamloops and across the provinces.
A service will be held at Schoening Funeral Services on Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 1:00pm.
We are saddened to hear of Hank’s death. I remember playing with him and his sisters and brothers at his parent’s farm at Gilbert Plains. There were many happy times in the early fifties that we spent with Uncle Matt and Auntie Pearl.
Please know that our love and prayers are with all of you. May God Bless.

Linda and I are sorry to hear of Hank’s passing. We spent many hours together on the ball field and the memories will always be good ones.
A precious memory of Hank was when he visited Winnipeg a year or so ago. We had a fun visit. After all the hugs / kisses, my husband & I were heading home, and there stood this big healthy man with a huge smile on the front steps of my sisters home & waving with both hands / blowing kisses. That’s just the way Hank was. I will treasure that vision for eternity.
Love always, Helen
So sorry for your loss to you and your family, Tracy. I’m glad you and Hank were both able to attend mom and dad’s 50th anniversary in October. It meant a lot to have everyone together.
Our deepest sympathies,
Lynn & Randy Sunderman
