Finally at peace, our father has left us to once again join our mother.
Born in 1936 Germany, dad immigrated to Winnipeg, Canada in 1957, where he eventually met
our mother and dedicated his life to her and the family they raised.
Trained as a Metalsmith in the old country, our father had no greater passion than his pursuit of
steel fabrication, a career that saw him ply his hand at mines, bridges, and architectural
installations, from buildings to barges, his knowledge and skill was formidable.
A man of steel, his diligence and perseverance was stalwart, nevermore so then that for his
wife and boys, for whom he strove emphatically for their security and success.
With him we have lost a vast treasury of experience and history as he lived through some of the
most profound annals of time in recent history.
He will be sorely missed and remembered for the poignant moments in our lives.
Rest well, dad, you’ve earned it.
