Born: Sep 06, 1935
Date of Passing: Sep 15, 2018
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryREGINALD (REG) GORDON MENEER September 6, 1935 - September 15, 2018 It is with heavy hearts we announce that Reg passed away peacefully on September 15, 2018, with his family by his side. His family is comforted knowing that he has now joined his wife Norma on their next adventure. Reg was predeceased by his parents, Connie and Gordon Meneer, and his sister Marie (Bob). Reg will be remembered by his three daughters, Jean Katchmar, Mary Anne (Garry) Miller and Susan (Ian) Morris, as well as his eight grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and his brother Ray (Bev). He will also be remembered by his cousin Garry (Jeanette) Henderson who were very special friends in his life. Reg was born in Carberry, Manitoba on September 6, 1935. Given the nickname Buzz at a young age, he had the great fortune to do many things in his life. He was never at a loss for words and could tell a story like the best of them. He met the love of his life Norma Lamb in elementary school and married her in 1956. Together they welcomed their three daughters. His work life took him in many directions until he became the Sheriff, for 25 years, in Thompson, MB. They spent many summers at their Setting Lake cottage until they retired to Courtenay, BC, where they made many great friendships. When Norma passed in 2011 he moved back home to Manitoba. Nothing made him happier than having his entire family gather at the "Farm" every third weekend in September, and fittingly, they were there with him at the Farm when he passed. The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Third Crossing Manor for everything they have done for Dad. In honour of Reg's memory please have a toast with a glass of wine at your next family gathering.

Helen and I wish to offer our condolences on the passing of Reg. It was always a delight to check the veranda at the house in Edrans and find him sitting there. We would drive up the lane and have a short visit with many stories coming from Reg. We will miss him. Much love, Diedrich and Helen Toews from Edrans - Posted by: D. Toews (Friend) on: Sep 23, 2018

Hi Jean! I was very sorry to read that your Dad, Reg, had passed away. I remember talking with him at the detachment many times when he picked up prisoners or brought some in. Always had a friendly smile and a story or two to tell. I was also sorry to hear that your Mom had passed in 2011. I'm sure Reg missed her a lot. Losing one's parents is very difficult as I lost mine many years ago and still find myself thinking of them and wishing they were here. My deepest condolences to you and your family. - Posted by: Lorraine Henderson (co-worker to Jean Katchmar) on: Sep 22, 2018

I was a kid on Cambridge St. One day I was hit by a truck on Corydon and thrown to the sidewalk. A car stopped to help me. It was Buzz! He drove me home to my parents. I have NEVER forgotten his kindness! - Posted by: Kathy McKibbin (Former neighbour) on: Sep 22, 2018
