Joseph “Joe” Tencza

April 1, 1939 ~ May 30, 2017


It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Joe Tencza on May 30, 2017 in Creston, B.C.

Joe was born in Nelson, BC on April 1, 1939 to Ted and Barbara Tencza.

Joe was a logger for most of his career, but later in life he worked in the Yukon for a gold mining company.

Joe was a member of the Trail Flying Club; he had his pilot's licence and loved to fly. Not only did he enjoy life-sized planes but he built model planes and enjoyed flying them just as much.

Joe was predeceased by his mother and father Ted and Barbara Tencza, and his younger sister Josie (Jo) Crozier.

He is survived by his sisters Bernice (Frank) Ficke, Kathy Tencza, Gwen (Gerry) Hergott, and many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and -nephews.

A service will be held to honour Joe at a later date.
