Ingo Meierhofer Obituary
Ingo leaves behind his loving wife, Teresa, of 50 years; his sons Dustin (Christine) and Donnavan; grandchildren Wesley, Leah, Victoria, Emma and Ellianna; his sister (and best friend) Sigrun (Richard), many wonderful nieces and nephews, and also cousins in Austria. He will also be missed by all of Teresa's family, and many close friends and neighbours.
He was predeceased by his parents Johann (Hans) and Antonia Meierhofer, his sister Erika and his brother Gerhard. Ingo was born in Austria and his family immigrated to Canada in 1951 eventually settling in Summerland, BC.
Ingo began his career with the BC Telephone Company (1966) in the Trail area and then moved to Terrace, Prince George and finally to Kamloops (Engineering Technician) where, after many years, he accepted an early retirement. The company was relocating their main office and employees to Kelowna and he did not want to move from our private and peaceful home on 52 acres.
Ingo was a very active man who enjoyed the outdoors hiking, camping, fishing, and hunting with his close friend, Graham. He thoroughly enjoyed his annual salmon fishing trip with his brother-in-law Dieter, nephew Trevor and friend Kevin; and fly fishing with friend Ken. In the winter months Ingo loved ice fishing and spent a lot of time on the ice with his friend Olav. Ingo was also very passionate about his many sportscars. He was very proud of his last one, a beautiful Porsche 911 Turbo.
Fortunately, Ingo and Teresa were able to experience many wonderful and memorable trips over the years. He was always open for an adventure! Ingo will be remembered as being an avid outdoorsman with an incredible love and respect of nature, for being a great storyteller; and for having a great sense of humour, even to the end.
A very special thanks and sincere appreciation to Dr. A. Wynne, to Dr. J. Takahashi and to the wonderful and caring staff, who soon became friends, at Ridgeview Lodge.
There will be no service as per his request. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the Parkinson's Society of BC or to the charity of choice.

What a beautifully written obituary Teresa. I am so glad we got to know Ingo and I know Rob so enjoyed his hunting and fishing stories when we would get together on the range. You were an amazing, loving and supportive wife. No matter where we travelled you were always hoping Ingo was doing ok while you were gone. Thinking of you during this difficult time and hoping all the great memories carry you through.
