and Jace; brother Bernie (Elaine) of Selkirk,
MB; sisters: Karin Shaw of Winnipeg and
Angelika (Leo) Zabor of Lorette, MB; his
mother Mally Wagner of Winnpeg, MB; sister-
in-law Peggy (Jim) Young of Winnipeg, MB;
brothers-in-law: Lindsay of Winnipeg, MB and
Larry of Kamloops, BC; as well as numerous
nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
Rainer was predeceased by his father Adolf;
father-in-law Raymond Willis and mother-in-
law, Anne Willis.
A special thank you to Dr. James Bell of St.
Albert and the staff at the Grey Nuns Palliative

Neal,
I enjoyed the few chances I had to work under the watchful eye of your father.
He was respected, skilled, a man of his word, full of integrity and intelligence.
I am humbled by your loss. May peace be with you and your family.
