The victim has been identified as Gord Parmenter who, along with his wife, Peggy, had cared for foster children in the Interior B.C. community
A former foster child of a British Columbia man killed at a church on the weekend is remembering the shooting victim as someone who helped him discover his potential.

They treated me like their own kin,” the former foster child, who can’t be named, wrote in an e-mail.“Gordon was driven by his faith and helping people was his way of serving God,” the statement said. “This meant that he would welcome kids into his home who had nowhere else to go,” said the foster son, who added some of his favourite memories of Parmenter are of spending time tinkering in the retired cabinet-maker’s woodworking shop.“Woodworking was his third love. God was his first followed by his wife,” said the statement, in which the foster son also remembered Parmenter for his inspirational stories that helped children deal with “heartache, disappointment and general teenage pitfalls.
