HANS HERMANN KERN

It is with sadness that the family of Hans Kern announces his peaceful passing, in his sleep, on Friday, January 12, 2024, one week after celebrating his 96th birthday.



He has gone to Heaven to join his wife, Gerda and daughter, Linda Todd. Left to keep his memories alive are his daughter Jasmin Paola (Rob) and their children, Hannah and Emily; Linda’s husband Mel Todd and their children, Kristel Newland (Tyler) and Justin Todd (Taylor) along with four sweet great-grandsons.



Much Appreciation to all the kind staff at West Park Manor in Charleswood who looked after him lovingly for the past 14 months.



A private burial was held at Brookside Cemetery.

I’M FREE

Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free,

I’m following the path God laid for me

I took His hand when I heard Him call,

I turned my back and left it all

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work or play

Tasks left undone must stay that way,

I’ve found that peace at the close of day

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

Ah yes, these things I too will miss

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,

I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow

My life’s been full, I’ve savored much,

Good friends, good times,

my loved one’s touch

If my time seemed all too brief,

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief

Lift up your heart, rejoice with me,

God wanted me now, He set me free.
