Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryKLAUS HARALD PHILIPP February 17, 1937 - February 27, 2014 With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Klaus Philipp on February 27, 2014 at the age of 77. Klaus was predeceased by his parents, two brothers, sisters Christel and Monika, and his wife of 34 years, Ingrid. He will be forever remembered by his partner/best friend Shirley Payment, his sister Ingrid Lux (Siggy), nephew Olaf (Wendy) Klindtworth, niece Astrid (Witholt) Wermann, as well as many other family and friends. Born in Wolfsdorf/Danzig, Germany in 1937, Klaus immigrated to Canada at the age of 18. He worked during the day and learned English at night during those first years in Winnipeg. Klaus went on to graduate in 1965 with a Bachelor of Science from the United College (U of W), and later earned his Master's from the University of Manitoba in 1978. He enjoyed a long and industrious career - spanning 32 years - as an Instructor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Winnipeg, before retiring in 1999. Klaus found joy in music, and was an avid fan of the Olympics, soccer, curling, hockey, and football. He was very fond of travelling, gardening, and cars. Some of his happiest memories were of his time spent at his cherished "Green Jewel," the cottage at Victoria Beach. A Celebration of Life will be held at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street at 11:00 am on Thursday, March 6. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to "The Philipp Scholarship" that will be established soon at the U of W, 515 Portage Ave, R3B 2E9, or to an educational charity of choice.

It is with deep sorrow that I say good by to a dear friend. You are in a better place now, with loved ones and at peace. I will always remember our chats together and will fondly remember you as a hard working, loving and giving man. Always remembered, till we meet again someday.

Klaus was probably one of the most misunderstood teachers I have ever met. Beneath that gruff no-nonsense teaching face was a heart of pure gold. He did his craft with kraft (to borrow a little German). Rest In peace. - Posted by: Ray Bacala (Former student) on: Mar 05, 2014

I remember Profesor Phillip with great warmth and respect. As a young student at the university I was terrified of his lab because he was so serious. Yet when you were able to look into his eyes you could see a kind and loving person who took pride of his work and what he did. He wanted his students to appreciate science and particulary Chemistry (Biochemistry). He was a great story teller and practical in his teaching. I thank Professor Phillip for sharing his knowledge with us. I am sure he rests happy and in peace and takes with him a great accomplishment of sharing his knowledge with us. You will be missed Professor Phillipp - Posted by: Juan Carlos Herrera (Student) on: Mar 04, 2014
