FRITZ MUHEIM It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Fritz Muheim on August 12, 2015 at Fluerimont Hospital in Sherbrook, Quebec. Fritz was born in Altdorf, Switzerland on March 31, 1934. He immigrated to Canada with his fiancé, Agnes Bichsel in 1958. He was a plumber by trade but was very gifted in other trades such as mechanical and carpentry. He supervised pipe fitting for the Hydro Station in Gillam and also for the Concert Hall in Winnipeg. He built two houses and they stand as monuments to his talents. Fritz was predeceased by his wife Agnes and son Travis as well as his parents and six siblings in Switzerland. Fritz is survived by his wife Ruth Carriere; daughter Danniella (Des Welch); brother Martin Muheim in Switzerland and Ruth's sons Russell (Cristina), Ken (Janet) Jacobson; James (Mehgan) and Jonathan (Nicole) Carriere as well as five grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews in Switzerland. Fritz enjoyed the outdoors, RV camping with his wife, Agnes and their children. Later in life, he travelled extensively with Ruth to Texas, Florida and many European destinations. They also enjoyed cruising in the Caribbean and Europe. They took Ballroom dancing lessons together and thoroughly enjoyed the music and dancing. A memorial service will be held in the Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 12, 2015 with Rev. Shelly Manly-Tannis officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements. www.gilbartfuneralhome.com

I had the privilege of knowing Fritz for many years. He was always a pleasant, caring man with a loving nature. I am sure he will be sorely missed by Ruth and his family. My deepest sympathies. - Posted by: Dianne Szelag (Professional Advisor) on: Sep 03, 2015

Fritz was truly a great and caring man. I'm glad to have known him and thank him for all the wonderful years he spent making my mother happy. I'm thankful that I was able to see him shortly before his passing and say goodbye; I just wish I knew then that it would be for the last time. He will be sorely missed. - Posted by: James Carriere () on: Aug 30, 2015
