He was a stone mason and no job was beyond his expertise and abilities, including placing the stone cross back onto the St. Boniface Cathedral after the big fire. Gunter spent many winters in Acapulco.

On behalf of the Savoie family we would like to offer you our condolences. We had a lot of fun hanging out at the house, riding the quads, cutting down trees, shoveling you name it, he had everyone working. Gunter is now at peace, and shining down upon us with the angels. Hugs, and prayers to you all. - Posted by: Sherri and Paul Savoie (Friend of the family) on: May 16, 2023

Rudy, Errol and Karl I am sorry for your loss and I’m thankful that your father had a good, long life full of adventure. I have good memories of some summer weekends spent out a LDB and aventures your dad would take us in…after picking vegetables and cleaning bricks of course. He was a character for sure.
