PETER HOWARD TULK
On February 17, 2010 surrounded by his loving family, Peter Howard Tulk ended a month long, unexpected battle with cancer at the age of 58.

He also leaves behind special in-laws, mother, Audrey Lamb (Tony White) of Kamloops, brothers Tom (Elaine) Lamb of Nanaimo and Barry (Debi) Lamb of Vernon. All of whom were by his side during his battle. As were some of his much loved nieces and nephews.
He is also survived by sister, Penny Walch and brother, Mike Tulk of Kelowna.
Peter was predeceased by his father, Peter Tulk, his mother, Aileene Brooker, his sister, Elizabeth Pitman and his father- in-law, Raymond Lamb.
Peter will be greatly missed by the countless friends and associates he made during his 30 years working in the Environmental Service Industry in Kamloops.
Peter’s final days with his family were made very special due to the incredible compassion and care from the wonderful staff of 7 North at RIH.

We are shocked and saddened by the announcement of Peters passing.He was one of the very few men that did what he said he was going to do when he said he was going to do it. We will truly miss working with him.
Yours Sincerely Doug and Staff.

Dear Raelene and family,
Words cannot express our profound sadness in the news of Peter’s passing. There was not better husband, father, grandfather or son-in-law on God’s earth. We take comfort in knowing you are such close family and you have each other. We feel truly blessed to have had the privilege of calling Pete our friend. You are all in our prayers.
Love Gary, Sheila, Chris, Rayann
Peter and I were in the same band class at Seaton Jr. HS in Vernon way back in 1966-67, he was playing in drums and percussion, I the tuba. Pete was one of the “cool crowd”. I was very suprised to see his obit in the Vernon paper. I think it speaks very highly of him that he should have been in a relatiionship with his wife and family for over 37 years, as well as staying in a choosen career path for 30 years. It says to everyone he was a good man. Please accept my condolences, I am thinking and praying for Peter, he is at rest.
Leanne and I would like to express our deepest sympathy for the unexpected loss of Pete. He will be missed by all who loved and knew him. He was a great and wonderful guy. He will live on in our memories and his children. We are thinking and praying for you. Erin & Leanne
Raelene and family our condolances are with you on the loss of Pete. He was a great guy and a friend to many, always there when his services were needed. We will always remember our times together in Manitoba and BC. The good time spent together last summer,The love for his family and the pride he had in his Corvette will be memories we will always cherish. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Lots of Love from your Cousins Darrell and Margaret
I am so sorry I only just found out, and am so saddened by this. When my parents were killed almost 2 years ago now, Peter was there as soon he heard, and was always stopping by to make sure “we” were doing fine. I know he took our life lessons to heart, and always offered us his ear. The world is a much better place for having Peter in it, and I feel very blessed that I was fortunate enough to know Peter.
Sincerest Regards, Ed and Kerri Pratt
