Obituary of Horst Massar

1930 - 2021

 

On February 22, 2021, Horst Massar passed away peacefully in his sleep at the Kimberley Special Care Home “The Pines.”

 

Horst was born July 5th, 1930 in Ludwigshafen-am-Rhein-Oppau, Germany. He immigrated to Canada in 1960 and settled in Georgetown, where he worked at American Motors and raised his family. During a visit to B.C., he fell in love with Kimberley and decided to make the move out west. It was a great place to enjoy his favourite pastimes, skiing, swimming, and dancing. 

 

Horst will be missed by his children, daughter Helga (Howard) Logan, sons Ralf (Lynn) and Mark (Karin), his grandchildren; Brandon, Heather, Renee, Jackie, Daniel, Abbey, Patrick, Justin, Alex, Leah and Jake and great grand-daughter Harper. Also, fondly remembered by his sister-in-law Ella Reisen of Oakville, Ontario and six siblings and their families in Germany. 

 

He is predeceased by his wife Edith (2000) and companion Elsie Hume (2017).

 

A very special thank you to the Kimberley Special Care Home “The Pines” for their kindness, dedication and excellent care of our father during his stay.

 

In memory of Horst, a donation can be made to the Pines Memorial.

 

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Services.
