It鈥檚 been nearly a month since Ivor Lundin died while captaining Tolko鈥檚 boom-boat and his friends and family are still struggling to make sense of their loss.

鈥淥f course we still don鈥檛 have a lot of answers about what happened, but as far as the recovery went, they just didn鈥檛 do enough,鈥� said Lundin鈥檚 partner, Brenda.

When Ivor鈥檚 boat went down late Jan. 30, Brenda said she鈥檚 been told nobody went into the water to save him. Those who were at the scene waited until emergency crews showed up.

Then they just lowered a camera into the boat to confirm he was there.

鈥淚vor鈥檚 body was left in the water until noon the next day and that鈥檚 so unbelievable,鈥� she said.

鈥淗e was close to shore, you could see the roof and lights from there. I鈥檝e seen people put in more effort to save dogs from water.鈥�

Although she admits she鈥檚 grief stricken, Brenda said she is raising the issue because Ivor deserved better.

鈥淭he whole thing is wrong, I鈥檝e never seen anything like this in my life,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 know it will never bring him back, but they never made enough effort.鈥�

Ivor, she said, was an amazing guy who was always willing to lend a hand to anybody who needed it.

鈥淗e was a humble, strong person,鈥� she said. 鈥淗e knew every aspect of the mill and all the boats and loved his work on the water.鈥�

She said the 57-year-old volunteered for the city every year during the fireworks to take the barges out and he was very experienced on the water.

The last person Ivor spoke with was her son.

鈥淗e forgot his lunch and said the old boat had taken on some water, so he was going to bail it out,鈥� she said. 鈥淗e said that was normal. It was always treading water.鈥�

There are multiple investigations into the sinking.

The Transportation Safety Board and WorkSafe BC are both looking into it.

The TSB said they will have more information in the next week, and are still in the process of assessing the evidence.

WorkSafe BC said they haven鈥檛 had a complaint about the Tolko boat in recent years.

In the days after the incident Don Hanson, communications manager at Tolko Industries, said that the mill鈥檚 focus is on Lundin鈥檚 family and the employees who were suffering from his loss.

鈥淚t鈥檚 devastating news for Tolko. We take safety very seriously. We are going to work closely with the authorities on the investigation and find out what happened.鈥�
