In loving memory
LOUIS SCHULTZ
(1925-2013)
Mr. Louis Henry Schultz of the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta passed away on June 22, 2013 at the Crowsnest Pass Continuing Care Centre in Blairmore at the age of 87 years.
Louis was born on August 12, 1925 in Pincher Creek, AB to proud parents, Henry and Hannah Schultz. In his youth, Louis was well known for his happy demeanor, joyous laugh and kind heart. He loved dancing at Coleman’s dance hall and was highly acclaimed as the best dancer around by the lovely ladies who lined up to be swept off their feet.
Louis and his brother, Carl, started “Schultz Brothers”, a company with several heavy duty Caterpillars and specializing in road construction. Several roadways in the Pass and in Pincher Creek, including the Kananaskis Road, were formed due to their skilled labours. He worked tirelessly his entire life and after several years of working in Lumbey, BC, Louis returned home to assist his father run the family farm in Pincher Creek.
Always ready for an adventure, Louis was passionate in his attempts to find the Lost Lemon Mine. He may have been a private and content individual, but he enjoyed the excitement of the local watering holes, a cold mug of draft beer and games of chance. It is a sure bet that he rests in peace and is grateful for the wonderful times spent with family and friends.
He is survived by his sister, Irene McNeil of Kelowna, BC; his sister-in-law, Rose Ellen Schultz of Grande Prairie, AB; numerous nieces and nephews including his cherished niece, Megan deBoer; and his friends, Marlene and Garry Anctil of Blairmore and Wayne Muldoon of Pincher Creek.
He was predeceased by his parents, Henry and Hannah Schultz; his siblings, Albert Schultz, Alice Conn, Carl Schultz and Beulah Fraser; his in-laws, Mort McNeil, Dave Fraser and Tom Conn; his nephews, Brian Conn and Wayne Schultz; and special cousin, Leroy Schultz.
With respect for Louis’ final wishes, no funeral services will be held. Donations in memory may be made to the CNP Health Fdn, Bag 1, Blairmore, AB T0K 0E0. Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.
