REALINI - It is with great sadness that the family of Ida Realini announce her passing at the age of 91 years at Lakeside Manor Care Home in Saltcoats, SK. Ida was born on July 2, 1928 to parents, Ferdinand and Emma (nee Keil) Besselt in Barclay, Bedworth Township, ON. Ida was raised and attended school in Dinorwic, ON. At the very young age of 11, Ida’s mother fell ill and passed away. This required Ida to take on many responsibilities of not only caring for her mother during her illness but also providing the role of homemaker for her father. These early trials and responsibilities led to Ida becoming a great homemaker with a passion and natural talent for cooking, gardening, nurturing and taking care of people. She met and married the love of her life, Louis Realini, and together built a home in Dinorwic where they raised their family. Ida was a devoted wife and mother, dedicated to raising their family and taking care of their home. In 1971 they moved to Dryden, ON where they made a new home and enjoyed 41 years of marriage together. Throughout her life, Ida’s Christian faith was very important to her. She was always active in her church, choir, woman’s group, and was a very devoted Lutheran who rarely missed a service. Louis and Ida travelled to Hawaii and Italy. This passion for travel would continue later as Ida never hesitated to get on a bus - whether to visit family, go on a bus tour, or to go to Nashville and follow her love of country music. Ida’s nurturing and caregiving nature continued throughout her life as she cared selflessly for Louie as his health failed and then gladly helped and cared for grandchildren whenever needed. Ida is survived by her sons, Edward (Brenda), Ronald (Sharon) and daughters, Lynda (Graeme) Olson and Debra (Michael) Sutcliffe; grandchildren, Donald (Jodi) Realini, Heather (Stephen) Friesen, Marlana Realini (Sean), Ron Olson, Todd Olson (Brenda), Adam (Rebecca) Olson, Holly (Neil) Bily and Elysia Sutcliffe. She will also be missed by sisters-in-law, Helen Anness, Victoria Realini and Elsie Realini. There are also several great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family and many lifelong friends who will miss her generosity and sense of humour. Ida was predeceased by her mother and father, husband Louis, her brothers Fred, Henry and Walter, as well as other extended family. A memorial service was held on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 from the Saltcoats United Church with Rev. Walter Farquharson officiating, interment to take place at a later. Arrangements provided by Christie’s Funeral Home and Crematorium Yorkton, SK. To send condolences to the family please visit www.ChristiesFuneralHome.com

GEBHARD - Zygmunt Gebhard of Yorkton, beloved husband of Wanda, entered eternal rest on March 12, 2020 at the age of 95 years. Zygmunt was born in Korolówka, a village of 3,000 people in the Borszczów Region of Eastern Poland. His parents were Tadeusz and Wiktoria (nee Gawronska). The Gebhards were a family of millers, originally from Vienna, who operated flour mills in the Borszczów region for three generations. In search of a better life for his family, Tadeusz emigrated to Canada in 1927. Three years later, after securing a farm near Insinger, SK, he arranged for his family to join him in Canada. With Zygmunt and his sister Janina, Wiktoria arrived at the Port of Gdynia, ready for the sail to Canada. Unfortunately Wiktoria failed the necessary medical exam and the family was not allowed to embark the ship. Shocked and disappointed they returned to Korolówka. With one tragedy following another, Janina passed away at the age of fourteen. Soon after Wiktoria passed away. With his father in Canada, Zygmunt became a virtual orphan at the age of nine. His childhood was taken from him and he was forced to work before he reached his teens. The economy and political situation of Poland in the 1930’s was in chaos and poverty was widespread. He was deprived of the love and comfort of family and lived with a string of relatives who were struggling to survive in the difficult times and were reluctant to have another mouth to feed. Following the start of the Second World War in 1939, Eastern Poland was invaded by the Soviet Union and conditions became increasingly worse for the Polish population. After the Hitler-Stalin Pact was broken by the Germans, the Nazi Army arrived in Korolówka in 1942. Zygmunt was taken to Germany and eventually spent nearly three years in slave labour on farms in Austria. After the war, Eastern Poland was ceded to the Soviets and Zygmunt was unable to return to his home village. Returning to Poland, he settled in Legnica, a small city in Western Poland that had been a part of Germany until 1945. There he worked in a meat processing plant, as a fireman and eventually operated a coal delivery business. He met his wife Wanda (nee Idzik) when they were living in the same apartment building in Legnica. They were united in marriage on October 18, 1947 and had three children: Jerzy, b. 1948; Krzysztof, b. 1951 and Elzbieta, b. 1958. Sadly, Jerzy passed away in infancy after only two months of life. Zygmunt purchased a large house in Poznan and the family moved there in 1958. Their time in Poznan lasted only two years. In 1960 the Poznan house was sold and the Gebhards arrived in Canada to be reunited with Tadeusz. Zygmunt saw his father for the first time in 33 years! After six months living in Insinger the new Canadians moved to Yorkton. Zygmunt learned the butcher trade in Poland, working as an apprentice from the age of fourteen. This experience helped him secure employment at MidWest Packers (now Harvest Meats) in Yorkton. He worked there for eleven years, getting more experience and honing his skills as a butcher. In 1972 he opened his own business, the Yorkton Abattoir, offering slaughter facilities, meat cutting services and large volume sales of meats. The Yorkton Abattoir was a successful and busy operation. Zygmunt worked long hours (but never on a Sunday) and took only one vacation during the entire time he owned the plant. He shut it down for four weeks and went to Poland. The Abattoir was sold in 1984, allowing Zygmunt to enjoy a lengthy retirement which lasted 35 years. He spent his time helping his children and grandchildren, gardening and fishing. And he never stopped making sausage. He made it in his basement and smoked it in a large smoke house in his back yard. “Zyg’s Kielbasa” became legendary and people would come from great distances for it. Even as his health began to fail, he continued to make sausage. Family and friends still enjoyed his sausages for the last time this past Christmas. Zygmunt will be remembered not only for his sausage making skills but also for the goodwill he extended to friends and especially for the love and generosity extended to his family. He was predeceased by his parents Tadeusz and Wiktoria, sister Janina, son Jerzy and grandson Damian Gebhard. He is survived by Wanda, his wife of 72 years, son Krzysztof and daughter-in-law Victoria, Nanoose Bay, BC, grandchildren Amanda Gebhard (Jason Green), Hagen, SK, Kristina Gebhard, Nanaimo, BC, daughter Elzbieta and son-in-law Kerry Perepeluk, Yorkton, grandchildren Jennifer Newcombe (Ryan), Regina, Dustin Perepeluk, Dunleath, SK, Melanie Bauche (Andrew), Saskatoon, Garret Perepeluk (Autumn Voegtlin), Tofield, AB, Leta Perepeluk (Logan Coutts), Yorkton and great-grandchildren Peyton Newcombe, Isabella Newcombe, Sadie Newcombe and Scarlett Bauche. Prayers were held on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 with Mary Bybliw presiding and Debbie Hayward giving the reading. The Funeral Mass was held on Thursday, March 19, 2020 at St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church in Yorkton with Rev. Fr. Louis Kim Nguyen as the Celebrant. The accompanists were Lorraine Lysak and Diana Hornung. The cross bearer was Marie Kruger and the readers were Amanda Gebhard and Kristina Gebhard. The intentions were led by Brian Kruger. Serving as the gift bearers were Leta Perepeluk, Peyton Newcombe and Isabella Newcombe. The interment followed in the Garden of Gethsemane at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Dustin Perepeluk, Garret Perepeluk, Ryan Newcombe, Andrew Bauche, Logan Coutts and Jason Green serving as the casket bearers. Memorials may be made to the Activity Department at Yorkton Nursing Home or St. Gerard’s Church. Condolences to the family can be posted at www.baileysfuneralhome.com

BUCHHOLZ - It is with heartfelt grief and sorrow that the family announce the passing of Allan Trent Buchholz on March 17, 2020 at St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon following a long struggle with many health issues. He was 66 years of age. Trent was the eldest son born to Stanley Buchholz (of Kamloops, BC) and Elaine (Muir) Lutcher (of Yorkton). He was raised and received his education here. In his youth, Trent spent many hours learning and working alongside his grandfather Murray in his machine shop and with grandpa Gordon at his gas station, all of which led Trent to become very mechanically inclined. This training led him to become very mechanically inclined and proficient at restoring old vehicles. Many of the cars were used for car racing and Trent became quite involved in the car racing circuit with his buddies. He also became a fan of anything ‘Harley Davidson’. Trent worked for the CPR for many years, followed by working in many trades with companies in Alberta and Saskatchewan. After many years in Red Deer he returned to Saskatoon and resided there until his passing. He was known to his many nieces and nephews as ‘Uncle Buck’, always remembering their birthdays and special occasions with a phone call. Trent was always cheerful, playful, a joker with a wry sense of humour. He enjoyed wrestling with his nieces and nephews. He had a kind and helpful nature and enjoyed the company of his family and many friends. Trent was predeceased by his grandparents, Marius and Alice Buchholz; Gordon and Anna Muir and his step-sister, Donna (Lutcher) Gorecki. He leaves to mourn and cherish his life, his mother Elaine Lutcher (Norman); his father Stanley; brother Blair (Lisa) Buchholz; sister Cheryl (Brent) Tulloch; sister Helen Buchholz-Pearce; special daughter, Phyllis (Alan) Hardybala; step brother-in-law, David Gorecki; nieces and nephews: Jenny Robbins, Amber and Aren Buchholz, Brodie (Jameylea) and Braeden Tulloch; Jaclyn (Pete), Robert and Carey (Brittany Pearce); great-nieces and nephews: Keana and Jewlz Robbins, RJ Pearce and Kaeden Tulloch. Also his step-family: Robert Lutcher, Karen Woroschuk, and Lorraine (Kevin) Hansen and their families: Kimberly Woroschuk, Tracy (Dan) Rose and Amanda (Jay) Woroschuk; Dean Woroschuk, Carter and Oliver Hansen; as well as his many friends and acquaintances. A memorial service for Trent will be held at his graveside in the Yorkton City Cemetery on Thursday, August 6, 2020 at 3:00 pm (please wear your Harley shirt). In lieu of flowers, donations in Trent’s memory may be made to the Kidney or Diabetes Foundations or to a charity of your choice. Condolences can be left at baileysfuneralhome.com
KUEMPER - Eugene Kuemper, loving husband of Catherine (Kay), passed away peacefully on Friday, March 13, 2020 in Yorkton at the age of 86 years. He was born the oldest son of Clemens and Antoinnetta (Bader) Kuemper at Muenster, SK where he grew up on the family farm and attended Golden Rule School. As a young man Eugene worked near home and in Kitimat, BC. He then apprenticed to become an auto mechanic. This led to Eugene becoming a partner in a Texaco service station in Davidson, SK where he and his new bride, Kay, were active in the community. He served as a volunteer fireman and in the Knights of Columbus and Kinsmen. In 1966 Eugene moved to Yorkton with Kay and their young son, Darwin. There, he quickly established himself as a successful career agent for The Paul Revere Life Insurance Company. He would go on to attend yearly conventions around the continent where he was presented numerous sales awards. Later he converted to life insurance and investment brokerage where he continued providing outstanding service to his many clients until his retirement in 2011. In 1967, Eugene and Kay purchased the home where they would raise their family and host joyfilled gatherings of family and friends for the next 48 years. There they welcomed two more sons, Jason and Murray into their lives. In winter, Gene loved the sport of curling and in summer the family loved to camp, especially at Good Spirit Lake. That enjoyment of sun and sand led the family to acquire a cottage where, over many campfires, Eugene shared stories and sang songs late into the evening. His grandchildren loved to swim, boat, golf, mini-golf and explore with their Grandpa at the lake. Community service was paramount to Eugene throughout his life. He was a 62 year member of the Knights of Columbus where he served in many capacities including Grand Knight and Faithful Navigator. He was also a prominent member of the Kinsmen and K40 Clubs and Rotary. His Catholic faith was always central and he served St. Gerard’s Parish on parish council and as a reader but his great passion in his later years was as member and cantor of the church choir. Our family wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to all who selflessly gave Gene and Kay assistance, visitation and prayers during Eugene’s illness. Eugene leaves to mourn his passing and celebrate his life: His loving wife of 59 years, Kay; his children, Darwin (Cheryl) Kuemper and children, Savannah and Devon of Calgary, AB; Jason (Jana) Kuemper and children, Graham and Mitchell of Kenora, ON and Fr. Murray Kuemper, Combermere, ON; his sisters and brothers, Irene Sarauer, Alice Nordick, Loreen Faul, Angeline (Ivan) Dale, Ronald Kuemper, Rosemary (Ron) Muggli, Leonard (Shirley) Kuemper, Virginia (Robert) Kaese, Gloria (Ernie) Kuehne, Roger (Clara) Kuemper and Kara Kuemper; his sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Verna Kuemper, Diane Kuemper, Valerie Kuemper, Paula Taphorn, Anita (Dave) Muyres, Margaret Bornhorst, Harold “Curly” Czernick and Dan Schultz; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Eugene was predeceased by: His parents, Clemens and Antoinnetta (Bader) Kuemper, his parents-in-law, Ben and Agnes Bornhorst; his sister, Helen Huls and his brothers, Walter, Dennis and Brian; his brothers and sisters-inlaw, Bernard Huls, Arnold Sarauer, Art Nordick, Ken Faul, Irene Kuemper and members of the Bornhorst family. Prayers were held on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 with Rev. Father Murray Kuemper presiding. The reader was Keith Hayward and the psalmist was Ingrid Prost. The Funeral Mass was held on Thursday, March 19, 2020 at St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church in Yorkton, concelebrated by Rev. Fr. Murray Kuemper and Rev. Fr. Louis Kim Nguyen. The cross bearer was Savannah Kuemper and the readers were Cheryl Kuemper and Devon Kuemper. The psalmist was Ingrid Prost and reader of intentions was Jana Kuemper. The gift bearers were Jason, Graham and Mitchell Kuemper. Members of Knights of Columbus, 3rd and 4th Degrees, participated in an Honour Guard.

Assisting at the Altar were Orest Machushek, Rejean Houle and Greg Dubios. Words of remembrance of Eugene’s life were shared by son, Darwin.
