EBERHARD KAMPFF Eberhard Erich Kampff passed away on Saturday morning, June 14, 2003, at the age of 70 years, after being in declining health for the last several years. He is survived by his beloved Waltraud, who has been his rock and his shelter through the last challenging years. He is also survived by his children, Gudrun, her husband Gino Ceccarelli and their children, Vincent and Laura (nee Wiens) Mark, his wife Laura and their children, Paul, Brandon, Paige and Erick; Margaret, her husband Jim Woodman and their children, Anna and Frances; and Ingrid. Surviving him as well are his two sisters, Gisela and Ilse; and members of his extended family, in Germany; other close family members and friends, especially Waltrauds brothers and sisters and their families. Eberhard was born in Platteinen, East Prussia (now Poland) on Sunday, July 17, 1932, to Johannes and Margarete (Goertz) Kampff. The youngest of the family, he was a brother to Dora (d.), Siegfried (d.), Ingeborg (d.), Hansgeorg (d.), Ilse, Gisela and Waltraud (d.). Eberhard immigrated to Canada in February of 1956 at the age of 24. He spent about ten years working at the Happy Vineyard, first as a potato peeler, then as a cook and lastly as a waiter. His time there always remained a source of pride and pleasure in his memory - it was a significant time in his life. He married Waltraud Lehmann in October of 1958, and moved to Grunthal in the winter of 1966 to fulfil his lifelong dream to own his own dairy farm. With the help of his family, "2+4 Dairy" grew into a successful operation. In 1990, he and Waltraud retired to Pansy. It was there that Eberhard spent many quiet hours on the deck of their cozy country home, which overlooked the Joubert Creek. Dad really enjoyed his family, music, political discussions, beer, listening to the radio, especially shortwave and keeping up on current events. In his younger years, he loved going to the beach, and is said to have done a mean Tango. Eberhard chose cremation, and requested he be returned to the land he so loved and respected. Our family wishes to express their sincere gratitude for the support and tender care received by the folks at the Stroke Recovery Association, Charleswood Adult Day Club, the Alzheimer Society, Tuxedo Villa, and a special lady, Lisa. Dad will be lovingly honoured at a memorial service on June 19 at 3:00 p.m. at Chapel Lawn, 4000 Portage Ave. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Eberhard may be made to the Stroke Recovery Association, 1 - 333 Vaughn St., Winnipeg, MB R3B 3J9.
