I met Manfred and Joan through Aquafit classes at the YMCA. After Joan's passing, Manfred continued to attend as faithfully as he could, claiming he always felt better when he started the day off in the water. (I agree!) He usually had time for a chat, and I knew when his appointments, treatments, etc. were. When Aquafit classes were suspended due to COVID-19 I lost track of him. I am sorry to hear that he has lost his battle, and particularly sorry that we will not be able to resume our chats. My sincere sympathy to all those near and dear to him.

My sincerest condolences to the family. I came to know Manfred through the Tuesday afternoon curling group. Manfred was a regular, cheerful addition to the group. It was easy to see how he enjoyed even the smaller things in life, like a friendly game, a hot cup of coffee and the odd treat or two. He will be missed.

Thinking of you, Vicky and Doug.  So sorry for your loss.  From your conversations about him, he truly was a man of the soil who loved the trees and land.  What a legacy you have with rich stories and passion for growing things.  A life well lived.
