Sigmar HAUBER

HAUBER, Sigmar
Sig passed away suddenly on December 23rd 2007 in his seventy eighth year. Sig emigrated to Canada after finishing his apprenticeship as a Tool & Die maker with Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in Germany. Although he spoke no English, he quickly got a job and saved enough to purchase a passage to Canada on the Stockholm for his fiancée, Inge.
While his first love was his family, he had a passion for the aerospace industry. He joined Dowty Aerospace as a machinist in 1960 and worked his way up the corporate ladder ultimately reaching the position of VP Aerospace.
After his retirement in 1995, Sig devoted the remainder of his life to caring for his wife. He spent most of his summers with his family at their cottage on Lake Kashwakamak.
He is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Inge, his son Derek Hauber, daughter-in-law Alice Hogg and grandson Nathan Hauber. He is also survived by his sister Lore Zube and his nieces Ann Zube and Tina McCann.
Sig had a unique spirit that touched those who knew him. Friends and family will be invited to a memorial gathering at a future date to celebrate Sig's life.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate memorial donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
