John Weinhandl, of Lloydminster
WEINHANDL: John Karl Weinhandl passed away peacefully, February 1, 2005, in the Lloydminster Hospital, at the age of 94 years. John was born on March 10, 1910, in Sisseton, South Dakota and came to Paradise Hill when he was six weeks old.
He was predeceased by: his parents, John and Maria Weinhandl; his beloved wife, Rhoda, on July 21, 1998; his brothers, Frank and Joe; his sisters, Rose Ziesel, Mary Hardes, Hilda Weinhandl, and Clara Dornstauder; and his special friend, Nancy Thompson.
John leaves a family of three: Richard and Gwen Zweifel, James and Doreen (Mercier) Weinhandl, and Vernon and Sharon Mercer; fifteen very dear grandchildren and their spouses; 35 great-grandchildren; one brother, Bill (Helen) of Gibsons, BC; sisters-in-law, Connie Weinhandl of Paradise Hill and Florence Robinson of Oliver, BC; many nephews and nieces; and a great host of friends.
The funeral service to honor John’s long, productive life was held in the Kinsmen Community Center on February 5, 2005 with Pastors Elwood McLean and Mike Firlotte officiating and accompanied by Marg Palsich on the organ.
Interment followed in the White Eagle Cemetery.
John lived his life to the fullest. He was skilled in so many areas horsemanship, sawing lumber, farming, a skilled blacksmith, machinist, business man, power man, restorer of old machinery and tractors, an antique collector, and a museum enthusiast. He was knowledgeable in so many areas, a historian with a crystal clear memory and an avid reader. Over the past four years he recorded his experiences in a manuscript of his book, hopefully to be published soon.
He had a deep love and concern for his family and community. He possessed an unsurpassed wealth of knowledge and information, that if it were not for his book, would have been lost forever. We would like to encourage others, to do as Dad has, and record their stories to honor the past, encourage the present, and look forward to for future generations. Thanks, Dad! You will be sorely missed by your family and friends.
