HAROLD UNGER PENNER On Wednesday, September 30, 2015 Dr. Harold Unger Penner died peacefully at home due to complications of multiple myeloma and advancing years. Harold was born on September 25, 1923 in Lowe Farm, Manitoba and was the last surviving of eight children of Gustav Penner and Helena Unger. He is survived by Joan, his loving wife of 63 years. They were central figures in the lives of their five children; their spouses; nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He will be sorely missed. As a devoted servant of his community Harold worked for 13 years delivering 1800 babies and making countless nighttime calls as a family doctor in southern Manitoba. Later he trained as a child psychiatrist and served many children in both Winnipeg and Victoria. Harold especially enjoyed teaching at the University of Manitoba. A funeral will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday October 6 at Cadboro Bay United Church located at 2625 Arbutus Road in Victoria. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cancer Society or Victoria Hospice. The family wishes to thank Dr. Ben How and the Victoria Hospice Team for their care and kindness.

My favorite memories of Uncle Harold were all the cribbage matches. I'm not sure if it was the crib or the conversation, but those were very special times. He will never be truly gone for he lives on in so many hearts. He will be missed more than words can say. - Posted by: Crystal Caron (Niece) on: Oct 03, 2015
