ERICH BECK It is with heavy hearts the family of Erich Beck announces his peaceful passing on Saturday May 5, 2012. Left to forever cherish his memory are his wife of 58 years Elisabeth. His twin sister Erika, daughters Doris (Robert), Diana (Richard), Linda (Richard), Michelle (Brian), grandchildren Kevin (Jen), Jenn (Tom), LaRae (Mitch), Kim, David, Michael (Renee), Chantal, Erick, Dustin and Justine, great-grandchildren Riley, Thomas, Griffin and Elysse. His very best friend and brother-in-law Richard Brosi. Along with many other close family and friends. Dad is predeceased by his parents Luise and Anton and his sisters Maria and Pauline. Erich was born June 10, 1931, in Hechingen, Germany. He married the love of his life on September 5, 1953, then moved to Canada with Liz, and oldest daughter Doris in 1955. Together Erich and Liz made many wonderful memories with their growing family. He worked for C.N.R. (Canadian National Railway) and Via Rail for over 35 years. His favorite past time was 5-pin bowling (whether it be coaching one of his daughters or playing), He had many accomplishments through his years of bowling. He also loved attending Blue Bomber games for several years, being a season ticket holder with his daughter Linda. Erich's other love was spending summers with family and great friends at Camp Neustadt, and winter's in Mexico with many of his friends. Words cannot express the many special thanks to all the nurses and aides from the N1 North at Concordia Hospital for taking such wonderful care of him over the last 10 months. A Celebration of Erich's life will be held on Thursday, May 10 at 2:00 p.m. at Voyage Funeral Home, 220 Hespeler Ave. In lieu of flowers the family requests that any donations be made in Erich's memory to N1 North Ward at Concordia Hospital or CancerCare Manitoba.

We are so sorry to you Michelle, your dad was such a funny man. Loved hearing his stories and the fact that you people get together for every occassion. You make an occassion, even when there is no occasion. Your driveway is always full, especially on Sunday nights, even though there will be one less at the table he'll always be right beside you. Again we are so sorry for you and for us, xo, you'll forever be in our thoughts and prayers... - Posted by: Randy and Patricia Mazurkiewich&Family (Friends and neighbours) on: May 09, 2012

We were so sorry to hear about Erich. He was always a lot of fun and times spent with both he and Liz will be cherished. I only wish he had been a better influence on my poor, easily-led-astray-husband, Russ. Please have one last drink "To The Treaties" in his memory. I'm sure your dad is reading this, Diana, and laughing. With sincere sympathy to all of the family and close friends. Take care. - Posted by: Shelly and Russ Doman (Friends) on: May 09, 2012

I worked under Erich in Symington for many years. Later as a temporary Supervisor, he taught me "the ropes". He was a stern fellow but fair and was a lot of laughs as well. I enjoy the fact that I knew him and mourn your loss with you. - Posted by: Eric Clapham (co-worker at CN Rail) on: May 08, 2012

Our deepest sympathies. We know how hard the past months have been but we also know and admire the way your family supports and cares for one another. Your dad may have liked to be "boss" in earlier days but he always knew he could count on all of you to be there to get him through those rough days. To Liz - deepest condolences - Hope you are all sharing good memories and some laughter over family events! Love Brian and Barb - Posted by: Brian and Barb Green (frriend & in-law) on: May 07, 2012
