Franz MEYER Obituary
October 20, 1934 – January 29, 2018
Peacefully and surrounded by his family, Franz Meyer of Onoway, Alberta, and formerly Kallenhardt, Germany, passed away on Monday, January 29, 2018 at the age of 83 years. He will be dearly missed by everyone who knew him and by those whose lives he touched. He was a farmer, politician, community leader, role model, modern adventurer - ahead of his time in many ways. Reading books and watching news were his passion. Never sad, always a smile for everyone. His generosity and care for others were unmatched. He celebrated and prayed regularly with the community at St. Boniface Catholic Church. He loved his wife, children and grandchildren more dearly then anything and is leaving a great void in our lives. He leaves behind many friends and family in Canada and Germany.

Liebe Uta,
unser tiefes Mitgefühl senden wir, die Dortmunder Zelter.
Wir danken herzlich für die schriftliche Nachricht, die uns gestern erreichte.
Wir werden Franz, "unserem" Bauern aus Kallenhardt stets ein ehrendes Andenken erhalten.
In den siebziger Jahren hat er uns Jahr für Jahr die Wiese zum Zelten zur Verfügung gestellt. In den Neunzigern habt ihr uns dann über Pfingsten noch einmal in Kallenhardt besucht. Die Canada-Flagge halten wir seitdem in Ehren!
Wir wünschen dir und deiner Familie viel Kraft und Stärke in diesen schweren Zeiten.
Herzliche Grüe aus Dortmund
im Namen aller

Dearest Uta,
My sincerest condolences to you and your family in the loss of your husband Franz. You have shared many heartfelt stories, with your friends at the pool, about all your loving and fun times on the farm with Franz. I look forward to hearing many more of those wonderful times. Stay strong my friend, you are not alone.
