Mr. Bernard “Bernie” Dick

Hoogerdijk

1963 – 2016

Lethbridge, Alberta – Bernard Dick Hoogerdijk, born on November 30, 1963, passed on to Heavenly glory, on Monday, August 15, 2016. Bernie Hoogerdijk was called to his eternal home on Monday, August 15, 2016. He leaves behind his parents, Cornelis and Hermina (Breukelman) Hoogerdijk, Willy Hoogerdyk and Trish Wiersema, Ed Hoogerdyk and Alice (Bergsma) Hoogerdyk, Ron and Tamara (Wiersema) Hoogerdyk, John and Margaret (Kobes) Hoogerdijk, Ed and Margaret (Hoogerdyk) Tams, and many nephews, nieces and close friends. Bernie was born and raised in Lethbridge, AB and Taber, AB. He attended Coaldale Christian School in Coaldale, AB and W.R. Myers High School in Taber, AB. He spent the prime years of his life as a salesman at Harp Furniture in Taber, AB. Customers enjoyed his jovial character and often stated: “We want to deal with Bernie!” After his time in Taber, Bernie moved on to Coaldale, Lethbridge, Winnipeg, and then back to Lethbridge. He took on a variety of jobs during this time. He last worked at the Lethbridge Food Market. It was a dream of his to be an architect. Although this dream was never realized, he did offer up some of his own drawings and concepts of churches and unique buildings. He enjoyed photography and took many beautiful pictures of spectacular landscapes and modern buildings. His leisure time was spent travelling to visit family in Manitoba, vacationing in the Maritimes, and walking around one of his favorite places, Waterton Lakes National park. Bernie was known for his unassuming character, loud and vibrant laughter, crazy stories, and his love to be around people. He was not shy. He would approach anyone and always had time to meet people for coffee at the local Tim’s. He had a rare penchant for the fine art of eating hot dogs. The Red Dog Diner in Lethbridge and Wieners of Waterton would have known him as a regular customer. During the latter part of his life emotional, physical and spiritual struggles took their toll on Bernie. His Lord and Saviour knew this. He laid Bernie down to rest in his residence in Lethbridge, AB. He wrapped his loving arms around him and said: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” He took Bernie to Heaven – his final move, his final residence, his eternal home.

“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

(1 Corinthians 15:55-57)

A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00am, on Monday, August 22, 2016 at the TRINITY UNITED REFORMED CHURCH, 1100-40 Avenue, North, Lethbridge, Alberta, with Pastor Rohan Crown officiating.

Alfred Hirch
1926 – 2016
  Alfred Hirch beloved husband, father, opa and great opa left the struggles of this earth to his eternal rest and into the arms of  his Lord and Savior in the middle morning of Wednesday, August 3, 2016 at the age of 90 years.
 The Funeral Service will be held at Peace Lutheran Church, 4619 – 56 Avenue, Taber on Wednesday, August 24, 2016 at 1:00 P.M. Burial to follow at the Taber Memorial Garden. Condolences may be forwarded by visiting our website at http://www.southlandfuneral.com.
  Alfred is survived by his beloved wife Elizabeth, son Roy Hirch of Taber, daughter Brenda Renner of Lethbridge and son Mark (Gill) Hirch of Taber, in addition his much loved
grandchildren Dannielle (Jamie) Renner, Mackenzie (Chance) Jensen, Amanda Hirch, Kyler Hirch and Morgan Hirch; his truly beloved great granddaughter Harlynn, who shares the same birthday as Opa. He is also survived by his brothers Edmund (Ruby) and Reinhold (Lottie); sister Irma (Alan) Neufeld and his beloved kliene bruder Helmut as well as his cousins Inga and Waldemar. We apologize if we have left anyone out, but our Hirch clan is so large we have been called a tribe and our father truly loved you all his nieces, nephews and cousins.
  He was predeceased by his eltern Daniel and Olga, in-laws Jacob and Susanna Zottnick, sister Rose,  brother Otto, Tante Munda, sisters-in-law Lilly Hirch and Hanna Herman and by other
relatives.
  Alfred was born in 1926 in Werben, Poland, into a devoted German Lutheran farming family that had lived in the German colonies of Volhynia, in the Ukraine for at least a hundred and fifty years. Our father was told that when his mother gave birth she shortly thereafter continued her work in the fields and that was the story of Alfred Hirch’s life hard work, struggle and trust in God on the farm. Adversity seemed to be his middle name and he met all with a quiet confidence even his last which he met on his own terms.
 Shortly after his birth his father took his family to the Polish Second Republic which had defeated the Red Army and ruled the Western Ukraine. The Second Republic had the greatest cultural mosaic of any country in Europe and the leader Josef Pilsudski was a Lutheran. The Hirch family prospered and our father grew up in an area near Kiev. In 1942 at the age of sixteen, he heard the patriotic call of his people and joined the Heer of the Werhrmact. Serving with distinction and rising through the ranks in a mere two years to unteofficier in an elite regiment and serving in the bloodiest campaigns in the east and west, most notably the attempted relief of Stalingrad and the battle of Aachen.
 Following the war the Hirch’s settled in Germany for a short time and in 1951 immigrated courtesy of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod to their beloved Canada and Alberta. He met the love of his life Elizabeth, got married and for a short time farmed in Readymade, before moving to the farm south of Taber where he lived for the last sixty two years of his life. He was immensely proud of his three children, grandchildren and great grandchild. He set a fine example of hard work, thrift accountability and faith in God that will be hard to match.
 Papa wir liebe du and treasure your example, no one could have a better example as a German and Christian man and you will be sorely missed by your family and friends. May you have found the peace you need and deserved until we are with you again.
 Arrangements in care of Southland Funeral Chapel, Taber. Telephone: (403) 223-8778.
