ERNST SCHAFFER
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Ernst on October 22, 2021, at the age of 84, with his wife and daughter by his side. Known as Ernie to most, and as Dad and Opa to a lucky few.
He will be fondly remembered by his wife of 61 years, Adele, his daughter Christine (Jonas) and his grandsons, Liam and Ryan, who were his pride and joy, his brother Hans, and extended family and friends.
Emigrating from Germany in 1958, he experienced a beautiful life in Canada and enjoyed many milestones with his family. He will be remembered as a kindhearted, devoted family man who was always willing to give a helping hand. Our loving memories of him will live on in us.
We wish to thank the staff at CancerCare Manitoba for their compassion and care.
A private family service has been held.
