Richard Wenzel

Born In: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Born: March 15th, 1948

Passed in: Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada
Passed on: February 27th, 2014

Richard (Dick) Walter Wenzel passed away at age 65, at home with family.

Richard was blessed with a caring and fun-loving wife of 43 years, Donna (Hiltz), two special children, Jennifer (Sean) and Joel (Jenna), and grandson Cohen. He was grateful for the love and support of his siblings, late parents, extended family and many friends.

Richard was brought up in Hamilton, Ontario, the fourth child of Joseph and Gerda Wenzel. Even though they were as poor as dirt, he had a delightful childhood with Theo (Sheila), Ellen (Robert) and John (Valarie). In 1969 he moved to Nova Scotia to begin work at Crossley Karastan Carpet Mills Ltd (Now Tandus).

Richard was a man of many talents – painting, music (ukulele, Cantabile Choir, pipe organ), photography, woodworking, gardening, computer programming, fixing stuff and just kidding around. He truly loved the beauty of Nova Scotia and especially his little cottage on Caribou Island. He will be remembered as a kind and gentle man with a real love of the good times, which he firmly believed continued beyond this life.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CEHHA Palliative Care Service, Colchester East Hants Victoria Order of Nurses, or St Andrew’s United Church in Truro.

The celebration of life will take place on Thursday, March 6 at 3:00 pm at St Andrew’s United Church in Truro Nova Scotia.
