HEINRICH GERHARD KASPER Heinrich Gerhard Kasper, better known as Henry Kasper, was born April 1, 1931 in Grunthal, Manitoba. Henry passed away February 11, 2014 at Bethesda Hospital in Steinbach while recovering from the effects of several strokes. He is survived by his wife Helen of Steinbach and his four daughters: Carol and Barry Krentz (Steinbach), Janice and Mitch Toews (Chilliwack), Sheila and Allan Harder (Chilliwack) and Gail and John Klassen (Steinbach); 10 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren; sister Elizabeth Funk and brothers Neil and Anita and Herman and Valerie. Henry was predeceased by a son, Brian, who died shortly after birth in 1954. Henry Kasper lived a full, rich life. He set goals, met challenges head on and never shrank away from hard work or difficult situations. He was an inspiration to his family and his many friends and left the earth a better place for his having been in it. In honour of Helen, our mother, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Society. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. at Grace Mennonite Church, 430 Third St., Steinbach, MB. A private family burial will take place prior to the service.
