HIRZER, Karl-Peacefully, surrounded by family on Saturday, December 21, 2013 at St. Mary's Hospital, Kitchener in his 93rd year. The family feels blessed and thankful that Karl has been able to stay in his own home in Wellesley with his loving wife and partner Johanna. They were married for 61 years. Karl was diligent, determined and decent. He lived his life with abundantly more gratitude than expectation. Loving father of Robert (Maria) of New Westminster B.C. and Linda (Nico) of Wellesley. Dear grandfather of Karl, Joe, John and Anna. Will be sadly missed by his sister Milly Bleizeffer of Kitchener. Cremation will take place and a family service to be held at a later date.
