Condolences & Memories (11 entries)

• My Dearest Henry! September 3rd 2025, I celebrate you on this special day! You are so dearly missed! I know if you were here, we would play, sing and dance to the song "Just Look At Us" by Vince Gill ending with "I love you", a hug and a kiss. I am so grateful of these wonderful memories we had together, memories of celebrating your special day at South Beach then a ride to Manigotagan Lake to visit the children. On August 31st, 2025 was a very special day! In spirit, you were with me, every mile of the way, to go to Manigotagan and witness, with me, a very memorable wedding ceremony of our children Shauna and Scott. With kind heartedness I know you would bless them with Love and Happiness. Missed and forever loved, Happy 90th Birthday Henry, my love! No other but you, "My Sugar Plums", you'll always be!! Always your Alma - Posted by: alma klippenstein (wife) on: Sep 01, 2025

• My Dearest Henry. Two years have passed, I still miss you today, I will miss you tomorrow. I still hold on to memories of the great times we had. Some of my most beautiful memories were not only with you, they were because of you. I grieve for what I lost but grateful for what I had. I never knew love so deep until I lost you and I never knew pain so cruel until I lost you. There are two moments I will never forget, The moment we got together and The moment you took your last breathe. You did so many wonderful things with us. When we needed someone, we knew we could always count on you. Lots has happened in two years, most delightful events were the birth of your two beautiful great granddaughters-Liliana now one year old and Lainey Rae two weeks old. Those special years will never return but the LOVE within our hearts you will walk with us forever. Henry, My sugar-plums, you will always be MISS YOU LOVE YOU. - Posted by: alma klippenstein (wife) on: Aug 01, 2025

• My Dear Henry. 2024 has come and gone, Each day I held fond memories of you because they are what I have left. When I see couples holding hands walking, sitting or whatever, sweet memories come back to when we did the same and wishing it was still the same. 2025 is here and waking up to a new day will ease the grief as I have a pillow to hug each night made out of your favorite shirt. Precious! Happiness in the new year will be when the couple you adored, Erin and Danny, will welcome a tiny person into our family. Though you are not here, My dear Henry, I know you'd give them your blessing and wish them sincere happiness. Your thoughtfulness will always be cherished... The family and I speak about you fondly and miss you dearly. YOU ARE LOVED FOREVER, MY HENRY, DEAREST!! - Posted by: alma klippenstein (wife) on: Dec 30, 2024

We will lovingly talk about you on this special day, about the happiness you brought to your great-granddaughter, Mylah, when you visited her in her dream. Yes, My Dear Henry! You might be just a picture in a frame but your spirit and legacy will always be with me and the family. Remembering you with LOTS OF LOVE on your 89th birthday Always, Your Alma - Posted by: alma klippenstein (wife) on: Sep 01, 2024

• AUGUST 4, 2024 Today! We remember the impact you left on our lives. A year may have passed but the pain of losing you is still fresh in our hearts and your absence deeply felt. We find comfort in sharing fond memories of you that always puts a smile on our face. When tears roll down my cheeks all I have to do is think of the times in how you comforted me with a cup of hot tea. Yes, always worked! The little ones will take and look at your photo, Kiss it and reply "I miss you(great) grandpa, love you" Our flower girls ,Amber and Erin made an afternoon luncheon in celebration of our 24th wedding anniversary. Though you were absent, your spirit lived within us. You are loved and appreciated . As with your personnel belongings. I was saddened to part with your DANCING SHOES . You brought them with you whenever we travelled out of town just in case we might "dance" but I smiled as I remembered the time we got dressed to go to a fancy restaurant and as you climbed up the stairs I noticed you wore one black and one brown shoe asking you why? you realized the mistake and made a dash home to change. So priceless! Henry, My Dear! To Me: Your memory is a keepsake from which I will never part. God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart and my SUGAR PLUM,, you,ll always be! Time may heal the wound but it can never erase the love we have for you! HALLELUJAH!! - Posted by: alma klippenstein (wife) on: Aug 03, 2024

• Dad. They say time is a theft. How has one year passed already. It’s been a year since you said “I feel like I’m at a Farewell Party” You were so Brave, so Ready! So hard to say the “party was over” that night. Alma stayed and held you all night. You were so at peace. RIP I love you and miss you every day ❤️❤️Love you little girl. - Posted by: Val (Daughter) on: Aug 03, 2024

• MY DEAREST HENRY. I love you dearly and miss you so. It seems like only yesterday when we were in a restaurant for breakfast when unexpected family members showed up. This event ultimately changed our life for the best. You demanded I be in your life forever as you could not go back to the old ways. In shock I did not respond. After talking it over, stopped the car, reached over and gave me a kiss on the cheek and (I can still hear those words) said" you can leave me anytime you want but there's one thing you must remember, whatever you do or whenever you go, I,M COMING WITH YOU," Confused but happy I decided you are the man for me. We encountered a lot things on the way but we always talked and respected each others wishes. I miss your arm swinging backwards to check if I'm in bed. if I was, you slept like a baby, if I wasn't, you'd come out to check if I was alright! Your reassured love for me will be forever cherished. You left many fond memories like Valentines day of 2023, you treated me to a very special evening of dinner and listening to beautiful music. HENRY! My Valentine, you'll always be and the years we spent together were precious. The children and I miss you very much. To the END you were always my SUGAR PLUM XOXOXO! - Posted by: alma klippenstein (wife) on: Feb 13, 2024

• My condolences to Alma and his family. Henry was a true gentleman, I worked at Griffin and he never failed to say "Good morning" and ask about my son. All these years later...every time I hear a squeaky mechanism, I remember when he used my peanut butter to "quiet" my filing cabinet. He will always be remembered with a smile. - Posted by: Catherine Will ((co-worker)) on: Aug 24, 2023

• I worked along side with Henry for over 25 years. He was always knowledge able and ready to give some fatherly advice. Was a contributor to the success at the Winnipeg plant. I know family and friends will miss. Sincerely yours Tom E. - Posted by: Thomas Eschuk (co-worker and friend) on: Aug 17, 2023

• Thank you dad for being my dad. We laughed, we fought, we learned, we experienced, we created memories, but above it all you always had my love and respect for being who you were even if I didn’t show it at the time. I am the man, father & grandfather that I am today because of what I learned from you. Saying I am proud to have been your son is an understatement. You will always be missed, never forgotten and your stories (with some bad jokes) will continue to be told. I love you dad. - Posted by: Gary Klippenstein (Son) on: Aug 14, 2023

• Henry was an excellent leader while he was at the Griffin Wheel facility. He was a huge influence on me and my career and I always look back fondly on my time with him. His calm demeanor, even in the face of chaos is something I continue to try and emulate. He will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Ed Weedmark (Friend) on: Aug 14, 2023
