Obituary for Gunter Erich Bruno "Opa" Rubrecht

Gunter Erich Bruno "Opa"  Rubrecht
Our Opa passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 28, 2016. He was predeceased by his parents, Adolf and Gertrud Rubrecht, parents-in-law, Kurt and Elsbeth Schuller, and son, Andrew in infancy. Opa was born in Brunswick, Germany on August 19, 1929. He served in the second world war at age 15. In July 1956, he immigrated to Canada and established a foundation for a new life before he brought his wife and young son over to join him. Opa worked hard to build a good life for himself and his ever growing family. Now his 21 descendants and in-laws greatly respect and admire him. Opa settled in Calgary. Job requirements saw him move to Medicine Hat and eventually to Red Deer. He was an avid sports fan all his life, with the Toronto Maple Leafs; as well as the Calgary Flames and many German soccer teams being amongst his favourites. Above all, he was the ultimate Calgary Stampeders fan. But his family always came first and he was totally devoted to them. Left to mourn are Hanne-Lore, his wife of 64 years; son, Eckhard (Darlene) Rubrecht, daughters, Margaret (Robert) Stroh and Marlis (Bob Belzerowski) Rose; grandchildren, Matthew (Terra) Stroh, Kristine (Joel Douglas) Rubrecht, Richard (Whitney) Rubrecht, Erin (Kelly) Eresman, Tyler (Chelsea) Rose, Janice (Lee) Worrall, Jennifer Stroh, Brooklyn Belzerowski, Vanessa Belzerowski, and Katrina Belzerowski; as well as eight great grandchildren. A Celebration of Opa’s Life will be held at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 – 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer, Alberta on Friday, February 5, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com. Arrangements in care of Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 – 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040.
