Death Notice of Guenther Petersen
On October 23, Guenther Petersen passed away peacefully after a brief illness. Guenther is survived by his wife Marianne, son Tom and sister-in-law Henny Dehn. Guenther was born in Hamburg Germany on August 31 1922. In 1950, he married his beloved Marianne and immigrated to Canada.
The next 57 years were spent farming, selling real-estate, and engaging in various entrepreneurial ventures. Guenther was a man who loved nothing more than to golf, fish, and spend time with his wife whom he adored. He was a big man with a true frontier spirit. He had a big heart and lived his life just as big. While we all miss him, we are consoled in the fact that he has merely gone fishing a river in the hopes that a fish will rise.
