OTTO PLETT 1934 - 2005 Peacefully on Wednesday, October 5, 2005, Otto Plett of Arborg passed away. He is survived by his beloved wife Frieda, who loved and cared for him for over 49 years of married life and walked with him through dad's recent heroic struggle with Diabetes. Dad had a happy childhood in the Blumenort MB area with his parents Cornielius R. and Mary Plett, seven brothers and two sisters. In 1950 most of the family moved to Mexico.
