Henry PRACHAR Obituary

Passed away peacefully on September 3, 2020 at Grand River Hospital, Freeport Site Kitchener, Ontario at the age of 85. Beloved husband of Pauline for exactly 54 years, passing on their anniversary day. Dear Dad to Tina (Garth) Anderson and Greg (Kelly) Prachar.

Survived by his nephews and nieces Rev. Tom and Bob Prachar, Brian (Tracy) Prachar, Nancy Isaac and Andrea (Roger) Kieswetter. He will also be missed by many relatives and friends. Henry was a generous man with a big heart. He was one of the most patient men you ever would meet and everyone who knew him was blessed by his kindness. Henry worked for many years as an industrial engineer for Uniroyal/Goodrich (Michelin). He was a Blue Jays fan and always made time to watch their games. He was an exceptional husband, dad and grandpa and will be missed by many. A heartfelt thank-you to the nurses at Freeport Palliative Care Unit for their compassionate care for Henry.

Dear Pauline, Tina, and Greg, it is your old neighbor, Kevin Freiheit. We were saddened to hear of Henry’s recent passing.
Despite being unable to offer our condolences in person, I was grateful to be able to live stream Henry’s memorial service this afternoon. Henry is remembered fondly, as a quiet, kind, and gentle man by all who knew him.
Deepest sympathies for your loss, and our hopes that your best memories of Henry will help get you through this difficult time.
Thinking of you all,
Kevin, Deirdre, Owen and Eve

The world has lost a gentle soul and Heaven has gained a saint. Henry was a good and decent man. Quiet and unassuming. A wonderful husband to Pauline and a loving, supportive and encouraging father to Tina and Greg. He is now and forever in God's good care.
May all the wonderful memories you have of your time together be a comfort for you now and in all the times to come.

I worked with Henry for several years at Uniroyal. He was a great help to me on my early years. A very patient man and a true gentleman.
I am so very sorry to hear if his passing.
