Henry Joseph Lehman 1921 2010 Henry Joseph Lehman, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family at St. Paul's Hospital on Tuesday, March 9, 2010. Henry was born on February 8, 1921 in Bluebird, SK. He grew up on a farm outside Mayfair along with five brothers and four sisters. As a young man he enjoyed working on the farm, playing ball and spending time with his siblings. Henry enlisted in the army and served his country. After leaving the army Henry married Elizabeth Strohan and they moved to Saskatoon. They had three children, Henry Jr., John and Carol. Henry enjoyed a thirty-five year career working for the Hudson's Bay Company. In retirement, he enjoyed time at the family cabin fishing and boating. Henry was predeceased by his wife of 55 years, Elizabeth; his parents, Charlie and Mary (nee Talarski); his brothers, Bill, August, Albert, Johnnie and Tom; and his sisters, Martha and Polly. He is survived by his sons, Henry Jr. (Lucienne), John (Ruth); and his daughter, Carol Lehman (Brian St. Cyr); his sisters, Alice and Lil; and many nieces, nephews and friends. Henry always enjoyed a good laugh, had a keen sense of humour and was the life of the party. He loved to dance and sing to German songs and be with family and friends. His biggest love was being at the cabin and going fishing. Now he is surely casting his rod into the lake and smoking his pipe enjoying the space. We will miss you dad.
