Egon Schlingmeier, 2014-01-29

Egon Schlingmeier, 77 years, Gutersloh, Germany 36-07-20 to 14-01-29 St. Jean, QC, after a long battle with kidney and cardiovascular disease, he passed away peacefully.  He grew up in Herford, under the watchful eye of his parents, August and Erna and their family, who shared several houses on the same street.  Long-time resident of St Valentin, he took great joy in his extended family’s day to day achievements, including their furniture business.  Trained as an upholsterer, his eye for detail, leant itself to his passions of photography and gardening.  Undeterred by most any challenge, no doubt as a result of his wartime experiences as a child, he entered wholeheartedly and completely into anything he undertook.  “I came to this country in 1959”, he would say, and spoke of the many merits of this beautiful place.  He arrived with one suitcase and amassed great wealth – a community who rallied to support him when times were hard (cancer survivor).  His Heimatland (homeland) was also close in his memory, and he spoke often about it.  He earned distinguished titles: son, brother, uncle, husband, father, grandfather and friend.  He is survived by his loving wife (Marlene), sisters (Edith, Anita), son and daughter in law (David, Laura) and many cousins, nieces and nephews.  He held his grandsons Noah and Josh in a special place, and took great joy in their every achievement.

Je vous offre toutes mes sympathies. Je me rappelle M. Schlingmeier quand mon père Roger Fleury achetait des meubles, un gentleman. Je serais à l'extérieur en fin de semaine mais mes pensées et mes prières seront avec vous.

Nous partageons votre chagrin

Mr. Schlingmeier and the Schlingmeier family were (and are) such a huge part of my life growing up. I will always remember fondly the numerous weekends that I spent with David and his parents, playing around the house in St-Valentin, and going to Plattsburg. Mr. Schlingmeier always treated me very well, and I had the chance to thank him for his kindness many years ago, during a private moment we shared at David and Laura’s wedding. He was a good man, and he will be missed.
With Love,
Roger & Family (Anita, Sarah, Rashel, Elsa).

With love,

Magdalena
