Christof Kaufmann died September 8, 2026, at Victoria General Hospital, completing a 96 year life journey with dignity and grace, surrounded by loving family. His time in hospital was short, largely thanks to his kindred spirit and wife of 37 years, Anneliese, who unwaveringly provided the compassionate support he came to need more recently. He was ready for the end, with no fear, filled with an appreciation for his experiences and especially his family: wife Anneliese, their children and partners, Christina and Gilles, Anthony and Kym, Angela and Peter and Ram, as well as grandchildren, Rory, Lily, Theo, Julia, Emily, Michael, Hannah, Nicole, Chantel, Jasmine and Cruz.
Over a near century, Christof witnessed tremendous and turbulent changes in our world. His path was marked by enduring passions and many adventures; he often recounted these at family dinners, together with a seemingly endless supply of wit and jokes. At the age of 90, he embarked on a new adventure, writing a novel that he completed just last month. It is aptly entitled Hope, combining concepts of intriguing science fiction conjured by his great intellect and creativity together with themes of love, respect for all life and reverence of nature that were central values throughout his life.
We know he had many more stories to share and wish there had been even more time, while grateful for all we had.
Christof lived well, did good and will be remembered always.
