ELMAR SCHUMPP Peacefully, on Sunday, November 11, 2018 at the St. Boniface Hospital, Elmar Schumpp passed away at the age of 88 years. Elmar was predeceased by his beloved wife Ella in February, 2001. He will be lovingly remembered by their sons, Fred and Peter and sister Uta of Japan and their family. Also his faithful canine companions, Sam and Buddy. He was born in Mannheim, Germany in 1930, immigrated to Canada in 1957 and married Ella in 1961. He started Dawson Rentals in 1967 which was his passion and continued to go to work there six days a week until his passing. He loved vacationing down south in the winters, barbecuing and smoking fish, for which he was well known as well as being an animal lover especially dogs of which he had many over the years. In accordance with Elmar's wishes, a viewing will be held on Thursday, November 29 between 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. in the chapel of Voyage Funeral Home, 220 Hespeler Avenue at Henderson Highway, followed with a family graveside gathering at Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens.

I'm gonna miss all Elmar's stories. It was the best part of going to his shop when you needed a tool. I would take him some of my homemade beer and he would always have a few bottles of store bought beer as a gift for me to try. Great guy and honest businessman. Not to many people work until they're 88 years old. My condolences to Peter and the family. - Posted by: Terry Trelka (Friend) on: Feb 21, 2019

My condolences to Fred and Peter. Your dad was a very nice man and I have many great memories of visiting with your family when we were young. He was always kind and always had a smile on his face; and loved to joke around. Your father will be missed very much. - Posted by: Christine Kurkowski (Washen) (Friend of family) on: Nov 25, 2018

Fred, Peter sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. What a great guy. Thanks to your Dad, Mom and both of you for a great childhood growing up on Sawchuck Bay. Always remember your Dad when visiting your home, hanging out, building Lego, wood blocks, go carts, the hot wheels sandbox, bike ramps in front of your house. Glad to have enjoyed taking trips to Dawson Rentals and out to Folklorama. Great memories of your Dad and family. - Posted by: Craig Potts (Neighbours ) on: Nov 25, 2018
