ANDREW WERNER REIMER
July 21, 1946 - January 8, 2015

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Andy on January 8, 2015 at St. Boniface Hospital at the age of 68.

Andy will be sadly missed by his children, Derrick, Kenny (Jordan), Ryan (Janelle), Justin (Rebecca), Jordan, and grandchildren Hannah and Lucas. He is survived by his brothers Bill, Ben, and Norman (Myrna) and sisters Mary, Liz (Orest), and Lydia (Wilbert).

Andy was predeceased by his parents Peter and Aganetha Reimer, and siblings Johnny, Eva, Harry, Ruben and Vern.

Andy was one of twelve siblings, he was born in Steinbach and grew up in Blumenort, Manitoba on his family’s farm. After leaving the farm at a young age he traveled around doing various jobs in Northern Canada and USA. He eventually settled in Winnipeg where he started a family and began working for Manitoba Hydro. Andy was generous and known for his quiet, calm & kind demeanour and for his hard work ethic. He worked for Manitoba Hydro for over 35 years and even his illness couldn’t force him to retire. Andy was always willing to lend a helping hand to family, friends, and coworkers. Andy will be remembered for having a creative passion for hands-on work, building and repairing just about anything; and for his hobby of gardening.

Funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on January 16, 2015 at Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. Reception to immediately follow.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the doctors, nurses and support staff at St. Boniface Hospital for the kind and compassionate care.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to ALS Society of Canada or a charity of your choice.
