Obituary of Henry Reimer

Peacefully, after a long life of 97 years, our Uncle Henry was called away from his home at Bethesda Place in Steinbach, MB to be with his wife and Lord Jesus Christ.

Left to mourn are four nieces, four nephews and their families.

He was predeceased by wife Lydia (nee Harms) parents Peter & Maria Reimer, sister Nettie (1920), sister Maria (1924), brother John Reimer (Pauline Reimer), sister Sadie Dyck (John Dyck), sister Minna Carter (Jim Carter), sister Helen Reimer, and nephew Jimmy Carter.

 Henry and his brother John Reimer owned the Steinbach Sanitation truck business, which later they sold to the Town of Steinbach in 1960. Uncle Henry then went to join the team at Penner Transfer as a long-distance truck driver, where he made many miles in the big truck. He was awarded a model truck for his dedication and driving with accident free/million mile club.

If he could have he would have driven his truck to Heaven to meet his Saviour.

Henry married Lydia (nee Harms) later in life. They shared many long hours in the garden.  Uncle Henry often mentioned how he loved his garden tractor and many times offered to come over and drive mine.  They shared 52 years together until her passing in July 2018.

 A special thanks to all the staff at Bethesda Place.

The funeral service will be held on Wednesday, October 21, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. at the Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, MB., with a viewing prior to the service. 

For all those attending the funeral service the family requests that you kindly wear a mask.
