Obituary of Harry Koegler

<h1>Harry Koegler</h1> Beloved husband of Dolores (Kunberger), devoted father to Bill (Joanne), Donna Stares (Sandy) and proud, loving grandfather to Brad Koegler, passed away at the KW Health Centre of Grand River Hospital on February 16, 2009. He is also survived by his siblings Siegfried of Lethbridge, Hanna Schlenker of Waterloo, John of Waterloo and Marion Barker of Canmore. Harry is predeceased by his parents Arno Rudolph Koegler and Emma Rosa Hoehlig. Harry will be missed by his many nieces and nephews. Harry always took time to stop and talk to his many friends and acquaintances. He was a born story teller and had an arsenal of jokes on hand to make everyone lighthearted and at ease. He was a plant manager for many years and built his matrimonial home by hand with the help of his father-in-law and good friends. Classical music had always been at the heart of Harry’s passion and he played flute and piccolo with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony for over 25 years. His family meant everything to him, and he was most at peace in nature, loving all it had to offer.

You feel successful in what you’ve done, Secure in knowing the battle’s won. There’s nothing more that you want or need, Knowing that anything else is greed. Feeling that your life’s been blessed, And satisfied that you’ve done your best.
