LOUWE, JOHANNA MARIA (nee Bermbach) It is with heavy hearts we mourn the passing of Johanna Maria; wife, mother and friend to many. Born in Rostock, Germany October 31, 1937 she did her early schooling during WWII with her family being forced to evacuate several times. She trained as a camera technician and emigrated in 1963 to live with her uncle and aunt, Harry and Annie Bermbach, on Naramata Rd. while working as a photo lab technician at Redivos Photography. She met her future husband, Simon, 4 days after arriving in Penticton and the die was set. They married in 1963 and had son, Mark in 1964 and daughter, Susan in 1967. Joanne, as she became known, later worked as a first-aider for BC Forest Service on the bush fires then worked many years as a secretary for BC Home Support. Susan began ailing at an early age and lost her sight. Johanna never faltered and stayed cheerful. Susan died in 2004, a fighter to the end. Johanna was a gentle loving soul who would help anyone in need. She had a very strong spirit and was a tiger when hiking or skiing in the back country. She loved the outdoors and had extensive knowledge of plants, animals and wild mushrooms. The family spent many happy times learning how to pick and eat wild mushrooms, fishing, hunting and cross country skiing. An accomplished pianist, she was always playing and practicing the classics. She was involved with several charities including St. Vincent de Paul, Soupateria and Canadian Food for Children. She is survived by husband, Simon; son, Mark (Sue); cousins, Elfrede Stamberger of Germany, Barbara Bermbach of Vancouver, Bernie Bermbach (Ann) of Penticton and scores of delightful nephews and nieces in Canada, Holland and Germany. Also survived by special friends, Fern Gibbard, Pete and Carol Denhartog and Jack and Jose Damon. She was predeceased by brother, Jurgen in 1964. A Memorial Mass will be held Friday, February 8, 2013 - 11:00 a.m. at St. Ann's Catholic Church (1296 Main St., Penticton) with Father Rex Velmonte officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be directed to Moog and Friends Hospice House. Arrangements in care of Everden Rust Funeral Services.

VAN LAAK, Richard Hubert Josef Born in Marsberg, Germany November 5, 1926, passed away at Kelowna General Hospital February 3, 2013 at age 86. Left to carry on his memory is his wife Hazel, six children: Johanna Goodson, Gabriela Van Laak, Catherine Rice, Arlene Hildred (Rick), Geninne Fitzgerald (Dale), and Kevin Shaver (Monica): seven grandchildren: Luc Goodson, Heather Hildred, Jeremy Hildred, Jacob Fitzgerald, Carrie Fitzgerald, Victoria Robert, and Tynon Shaver. Richard will be missed by his mother-in-law May Blenkarn, as well as his brothers and sisters-in-law and many nieces and nephews. He leaves many relatives in Germany as well. Richard is predeceased by his parents, sister Hanna (2012), brother Hein (2012), first wife Elfrida (1985), son Greg (1989), and son-in-law Edward Rice (2000). To celebrate Richard's life, his family will be holding an open house on Monday, February 11, 2013 from 1-4 pm @ # 32-1874 Parkview Cres. Please feel free to stop by to re-tell the stories he can no longer tell. In his early years Richard left Germany to travel the world while working on cargo ships. He had never ending stories about his adventures from around the world. One time he went snorkeling at a deserted bay in Fiji and then he took a rest on the beach. A local arrived later and asked him if he had been in the water, Richard told him yes and said that it was one of the most beautiful places he had ever seen. The local called him crazy because silver tip sharks where known to cruise that bay and that was why the bay was deserted. His legacy will live on through his kids and grand kids because of his stories and his lessons. "Saw the sky and started walking" Walk on Husband, Dad, Grandpa. We love you.
