Rudi was a gentle and kind man who was a devout Catholic and very involved with St Marks Church in NB. He loved Milie with all his heart and was so proud of all his Boys. He was a super Opa (Opie) and Great Opa and truly loved his grandchildren & great Grandchildren especially the New Brunswick girls Ainsley & Kinley as they were such a large part of their world in there.
Milie was an amazing wife & Mother. She was a wonderful Oma (Omie) and Great Oma and who loved deeply and was the ‘Best listener Ever” as her large circle of people she cared about is a testament to.
They were both great community volunteers and were involved in many causes over the years.
The family is especially grateful to Marlise Widdershoven & Betty Kilpatrick in NB & Jenny Yacoboski & Deb Laughlin in Parksville who cared for them the last few years.
They will both be greatly missed by family & the many people whose lives they touched and helped over the years.
The family is grateful that their passings were peaceful & pain free as they both had always wanted and that they are together again with their “Darlings” as they always called each other. Their life was a true “love story” from beginning to end. Rest in Peace!
