NAKAMA, Gingo

GINGO (JOE, JERGO) NAKAMA 1929 2022 It is with sad hearts that the family of JOE NAKAMA announce his passing on October 14, 2022 at Chinook Regional Hospital at the age of 92.
Dad was born in Hardieville, AB, on November 09, 1929 to Ginkichi and Mitsu Nakama. He is survived by his beloved wife of 66 years, Fudge Nakama, and three daughters, Marilyn (Mike) Langdon, Tracy (Murray) Newton and Renee (Darrel) Sparks. Two grandchildren, Janay (Dean) Harrang and Daniel (Brittany) Newton and three great grandsons, Tomi and Joe Harrang and Ezra Newton.
Dad retired from the Lethbridge Research Station after 35 years from 1953 to 1988 where he was known as “Little Joe”. He enjoyed his job and the many friends he worked with over the years. No cold or flu could keep him home, and armed with a bottle of Buckley’s he would always show up for work. Joe took his holidays in the fall for many years and headed to Taber to help his brother in-law on the farm.
After retirement Joe spent many hours fly fishing and tying flies, along with playing the guitar and singing his favourite country and western songs. He loved his coffee and would meet his friends at McDonalds while he was driving and later he could be seen walking to A&W. He was a strict dad of three girls, and all of his nieces and nephews were on their best behaviour when Uncle Jergo was around. As Dad aged he mellowed and loved the days he went to Bridges, a senior community rehab program where he would do exercises, play cards and socialize with other members. Mom and Dad were season ticket holders for the Lethbridge Hurricanes for many years and Dad looked forward to going to the games to cheer on their team.
The family will host a reception (no formal program) at Salmon and Sons Funeral Home, located at 433 Stubb Ross Road South, Lethbridge, on Friday, October 21st between 1:00pm and 3:00pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Alberta and Northwest Territories.

WIEDEMANN, Niklaus

NIKLAUS “NICK” WIEDEMANN 1951 2022 Nicklaus (Nick) Andreus Wiedemann passed away on October 12, 2022, at his home in Coaldale, Alberta.
Nick was born in Germany on October 4, 1951, and spent most of his youth in Switzerland, advancing his education in Agriculture and Agronomy at schools in Aesch and Basel, Switzerland.
Nicks life in Canada started in the mid 70’s when he came to Rosemary, Alberta through an agricultural exchange program. He worked hard, made friends easily and quickly made strong connections with people in the communities he lived and worked in and those included: Rosemary, Lathom, Gem, Bassano, Finnegan, Dorothy and more recently, Coaldale.
Nick was skilled with horses and cattle and worked on numerous farms and ranches in the area -taking the most enjoyment when his work included looking after cows.

Nick’s focus changed dramatically when he met and married Avidania “Benly” Deato. Their lives changed forever when their daughter Alice was born in 2010 and Alice has been the light of his life every day since then. Nick has been actively involved in the life of his family and caring for the details of life and education for Alice were among his highest priorities. This included meeting extended family on trips to Switzerland, Spain, and Philippines. Nick took special pleasure in seeing Alice involved in riding lessons even though his recent health challenges prevented him from being as involved as he wanted to be.
Nick was predeceased by his father Maximillan; mother Hanna; brothers Lutz and Hans; sister Alice Blatter and father-in-law Benjamin Deato.
Nick is survived by his loving wife Benly and beautiful daughter Alice; sister Antonette (Daniel) Graub; sister-in-law Martha Wiedemann; brother-in-law Roland Blatter; mother-in-law Lilla Deato; sister-in-law Mingly Deato and niece Nicole Deato
