Corney HEIN Obituary
October 24, 1938 – October 5, 2017
Corney passed away peacefully with his family by his side in St. Paul's Hospital on October 5, 2017 after a year and a half battle with cancer. Corney is survived by his wife of 54 years, Bonnie; their three children Shelly (Mike Bell), Todd (Marla), Chad (Debbie); six grandchildren Jamie, Cole and Sophia, Taryn and Jace and Rigley. He is also survived by one brother Ed; five sisters Mary, Helen (Bob Heinrichs), Kay, Anne (Jake Berg) and Elsie (Alf Bisschop); as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his two brothers Dave and Dick; two brothers-in-law Orvan Oxley and Cornie Loewen; as well as a sister-in-law Mary Hein. Corney worked at Saskatchewan Wheat Pool Flour Mill from 1957 – 1976. While he was still at the mill he thought he could build his own house and did in 1973. He enjoyed that so much he thought he might be able to do this for a living and built a house on Bader Cres. After that he decided to form Hein Homes of Saskatoon Ltd. in January 1977. Corney built the family a cabin at Turtle Lake in 1983 which we all enjoy to this day, as well as building a house for each of his children. He continued doing what he loved until 2010 when Bonnie convinced him to retire. The highlight of his day during retirement was going to A & W for coffee every morning with his friends. A Memorial Service for Corney will be held Friday, October 27, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at Hillcrest Funeral Home (east on 8th St, first right past Briargate Rd). In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Saskatoon Cancer Agency (20 Campus Drive, Saskatoon, SK S7N 4H4) or to the MS Society of Canada (P.O. Box 1212, Stn K, Toronto, ON M4P 9Z9).

Deepest sympathy to Bonnie and family. So glad I got to know your family through Circle West. Corney was such a great guy who was always taking the time to help around the church, and always had a kind word for everyone. I felt blessed to have known him!!

Condolences Bon and to all your family - We were so blessed to have Corney build our present home before he retired. We treasure the picture we have of the 3 of us while building the house as he wasn't much for pictures . . . Hold dear to the happy memories as they will withhold you thru this time. God Bless you.
