WILLIAM REGEHR

Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

• Mr. Regehr was advisor to the Student Council when I was its President in 1964-65. He offered us an excellent and balanced mix of support, advice and encouragement. I remember him with fondness and great respect. A fine and principled man, Mr. Regehr was an excellent educator. I'm sorry that I didn't think to get in touch before. - Posted by: Bruce Sarbit (Student) on: Jul 21, 2016

• I will always remember Mr. Regehr during my high school days in Selkirk. He was always fair, honest and a no nonsense educator. He led by example. I will cherish those memories. My sincerest condolences to the family. - Posted by: Willy Cole (Student) on: Mar 25, 2016

• I first met Bill when we were both Directors of the Manitoba Chamber of Commerce. Bill chaired our Education Committee and wrote an excellent Piece on the education needs in our Province that was presented to the government and opposition. Later Bill and I crossed paths when he worked in the Premier's office and then as Deputy Minister of Tourism. I was working for the Tourism Association then and again he was very supportive of our work. Our paths then crossed again, due to his work and support at St. Mary Magdalene Church and my work with the Jubilee Fund.He joined our Board of Directors in April 2015 and immediately became the chair of two committees. I will miss him as a friend and I know we at the Jubilee Fund will miss him for the support that he gave to us.

• My sympathies go out to the family. Bill's truly was a life of service not just to his family, province and country but in later years he took great pleasure in assisting the people of less developed nations. Bill's influence on economic policy in Manitoba earlier was huge. One of his many achievements was the development of the original highly successful Economic Summit here in the early 80's, in the midst of the recession at a time when all sectors were hurting. He had a unique ability to bring people of diverse interests together. I last chatted with Bill when I spotted him high up in the Human Rights museum, where he was happily spending a lovely afternoon with his grandson and other family members last year. Rest in peace, Bill. - Posted by: Vic Schroeder (colleague in the Howard Pawley administration) on: Mar 20, 2016

• Condolences to Bill's family at this difficult time. I spent most of my time with Bill during his time as Principal Secretary and his leadership role was critical to many issues that Manitobans can be thankful for today. A man of integrity and extreme kindness, the loss of Bill is certainly going to be felt by all Manitobans. - Posted by: Susan Hart-Kulbaba (friend) on: Mar 19, 2016

• I first met Mr. Bill Regehr while attending High School in the early 60's. He was a teacher who led by example and left a lasting impression on me which has lasted all my life. We became friends after High School and I watched with great admiration as his many careers succeeded. The World has lost a great leader. My condolences to his family and friends.
