•Forklift operator killed in Burnaby
MAPLE RIDGE (NEWS1130) - He's being remembered as a good man with a big heart.  Loved ones gathered for the funeral of a man who died in a forklift accident, while on the job in Burnaby last week.

Family and friends say 39-year-old Samuel Kuris Jr. was the kind of guy who would do anything for you and he was taken too soon.

Dozens gathered at a church in Maple Ridge this morning to say good-bye to the father of three.  He died last week after a forklift fell on him at the Summit Logistics Warehouse in Burnaby.

"They've never ever been on a holiday.  He was saving up money to take them to Disneyland and that was going to happen in April.  It's not going to happen now," says one friend.

Kuris' grieving widow is a stay-at-home mom and his death has left the family without a source for income.

A bank account has been set-up in the children's name for anyone who would like to help.
