Arthur is survived by his parents Edwin and Elfriede; daughters Jennifer, Christina, and Natalie; and siblings Alice, Ingrid, Hildor, and Edie, along with their families. He is predeceased by his birth mother Margarete and brother Ehrenfried.
In his early years Arthur was very active in sports and enjoyed playing football and cheering for Stampeders. He loved the outdoors, especially while living in Fairmont where he could appreciate the quiet of nature.
Arthur held many jobs including newspaper carrier, gas jockey, cribber, school bus driver, Canada Post delivery, and security guard, just to name a few.
Arthur was a very social person and could joke or strike up a conversation with anyone. He very much enjoyed going to visit his mom at the care facility, where he took her for walks, helped feed her, and chatted with residents and family members. He could make mom smile and laugh at the drop of a hat, and she was always happy to see him.
A Funeral Service will be held at Foster’s Garden Chapel, 3220 – 4 Street N.W., Calgary, Alberta (across from Queen’s Park Cemetery) on Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at 2:00 p.m.
Interment to follow at Queen’s Park Cemetery.
