JOACHIM (JOE) LACKNER After a brief illness, Joachim (Joe) Lackner, passed away on Monday, December 17, 2012 at the age of 83 years. Left to cherish Joe's memory are his sons, Robert and Michael (Julie); six grandchildren; brother Markus of Oregon; and sisters Resi Eimannsberger and Olga Hopfl of Germany. Dad was looking forward to the birth of his first great-grandchild due at Christmas. Joe was born November 25, 1929 in Freising, Germany to Ursula and Rupert Lackner and was one of nine children. After the passing of his parents, dad set off for a new adventure in Canada at the age of 22. It was in Noranda, Quebec that he met his wife Doris MacInnis. Shortly after being married mom and dad settled in Ear Falls, Ontario. Dad was very proud of his work as a miner and often talked about it up until his passing. Dad spent his later years in Selkirk where he could be closer to his family. He looked forward to his weekly visits to the Gordon Howard Centre. On Saturday, December 22, 2012 Joe's Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. in the Selkirk Inn and Conference Centre, 162-168 Main St., Selkirk, MB. Many thanks to Janet for her friendship and support as well as to the home care and hospital staff in dad's final weeks. Wojcik's Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements. May you forever have your perfect fishing spot!
