Passing of John Witte #1208
Please do not repost this fan out on any Social Media Site in whole or in part. It contains personal information that is intended only for the members of the CPVA. Thank you.
Sadly, I have learned of the passing of our brother and friend, Joren (John) Witte, who passed away on January 7, 2025 at the age of 86 in Salmon Arm BC. John had suffered a fall earlier in the year and another recently that fractured his hip. He died from complications as a result of those falls.
John served the CPS from 1962 to 1985 when he retired as a Detective. John worked in the K-9 Section, Patrol, CID, GIS and the Robbery Unit.
I have spoken with John’s wife, Gwyn, and she is holding up as well as can be expected. The CPVA has offered support and information regarding John’s pension and benefits. If you would like to send Gwyn emails of your support and condolences, you can email her at: gjwitte@telus.net
