HENRY (HINRICH) SAHRMANN
Born: March 21, 1930

We are sad to announce the passing of Henry Hinrich Sahrmann, peacefully on September 12, 2019, at St. Boniface Hospital.
Survived by his loving wife, Christine; son Ralph (Haidji); stepdaughter Caroline (David); stepson Alexander (Tenille); sister Marliese (John); and brother Herman (Eileen); along with grandchildren, Gabriel, Leonie, Stephan, Tanner, Sarah, Logan, Samantha; and great-grandson Ethan.
Henry was born and raised in Bielefeld, Germany. After the war he worked for the British Administration, moving to Cologne in 1951 and joining Volkswagen as a salesman in 1953.
In May 1954, Henry immigrated to Canada, and Toronto became his home for the next 22 years. He joined Volkswagen Canada as a salesman and eventually became the National Sales Manager. In 1976, Henry moved to Winnipeg and began his career as a realtor with Flanders Real Estate Ltd. for 27 years, joining Collier Pratt McGarry in 2003, until his retirement in 2007. In 1978, Henry proudly became a Canadian Citizen.
In 1994, Henry met the love of his life, Christine and the two enjoyed 25 wonderful years together, travelling to many countries, meeting new people and enjoying different cultures.
Over the years Henry enjoyed many different sporting activities from soccer to horseback riding, skiing and scuba diving and tennis, which he continued to enjoy up to the age of 85!
Of all his successes and achievements, Henry will be remembered mostly for his kindness, generosity, integrity and love of family and friends. Leading up to his final days, Henry requested a visit from Pastor Logan and made it through the remainder of his journey with Jesus by his side.
A celebration of Henry's life will take place on Saturday, October 5 at 2:00 p.m. at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home and Cemetery, 1291 McGillivray Blvd.
