LOTHAR KRIEG

Condolences & Memories (40 entries)

• I worked with Lothar in the other half of the 80's and until '93 when I moved abroad. This was a man I remember. His easy gait, and absolute calm when he came back from the presses with a problem we had done! Always respectful. Something would be wrong, bad plate, colour separation was wrong. We had some rush jobs back then and I remember myself panicking to get the job out, he stood with a calming influence and waited while we fixed up whatever. His presence influenced us all. I remember him first from a long time ago. Drove by 215 Watt Street this summer and it was gone. The whole company. Memories raining down, started googling....and then found this. My condolences to all he was a wonderful person that many could take a lesson from. I still do after almost 20 years gone. Be strong. - Posted by: Ingrid K.

• I was shocked and very saddened to hear of Lothar's passing. Lothar was the kind of guy that was always there to lift your spirits, pull a practical joke on you with such a straight face, that made you believe him every time. He was always willing to give a helping hand no matter how busy he was or what kind of day he was having. He has left us far too soon. My thoughts and prayers to all of the Krieg family. - Posted by: Kim Adams (co-worker at Sunset Thermographers) on: Jul 17, 2012

• I was saddened to hear the news. Thinking of Lothar immediately brings to mind a kind, hard working, common sense person. The kind of person the world is a little worse off without.

Deanna and I have the family in our thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: Erv Wiebe (Worked with Lothar for many years) on: Jul 16, 2012
