JOHN ARVID TIRZITS It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John on Thursday, June 6, 2013 at Grace Hospital in Winnipeg. To mourn John's passing are his wife of 59 years, Marlene; children, Arnold, Ruth (Michael Nicholson), and Robbie; grandchildren, Melissa, and Carla. He also leaves his niece, Vaira, and nephew, Ziedonis, and their families in Latvia. Sponsored by the Lutheran church, John immigrated to Ontario in 1947 where he met his wife, Marlene. They settled in Kenora where he built his house. John was an avid and expert carpenter. In 1961 he took his family to Thompson, Manitoba where he worked at INCO until his retirement in 1985. The family then moved to Winnipeg where they became active members of Messiah Lutheran church. At the age of 91, John was an active man with a curious mind. He always had a book in his hands. He cherished his family and while he loved his adopted country, he also treasured his Latvian roots. On Tuesday, June 11, 2013 John's Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. in Messiah Lutheran Church, 400 Rouge Road with Pastor Carol Janke, presider. We would like to thank the medical staff of the Grace hospital for their compassionate care of our family.

I was good friends growing up with Mr. Tirzits' youngest son Robbie. Mr. Tirzits was a very kind man and I remember being welcomed into his home with great warmth and love. Mr Tirzits always encouaraged academics, sports and arts. We spent countless hours playing ping-pong and other games in the home. These were great times ! Rest in Peace John. You were a good man. - Posted by: Vijay Riar (Friend) on: Nov 12, 2014
