Werner Rutishauser Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 9 to Mar. 11, 2022.
Werner passed away peacefully at the age of 102, on Feb 1, 2022, with his loving wife at his side. Werner will be greatly missed by his wife of over 70 years, Blanche; his three daughters, Esther, Dorothea and Kathrin; seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; and all his extended family and friends in Canada, Mexico and Switzerland.
Werner was born in Riehen, Switzerland, worked and raised his family in Mexico City, and eventually retired in North Vancouver in 1984, where he dedicated his time to his family, friends, and also the Swiss Society of Vancouver, of which he was a member for nearly 40 years.
Werner was a determined and resilient man, who was an inspiration to many that knew him. He will forever be remembered as a proud Swiss, devoted husband and father, and a loving "Grosspapi" to all his grandchildren.
The family would also like to thank all the caregivers and staff at Sunrise of Lynn Valley for all their kindness, patience, and compassion.
