KARL
HEINZ BUCHART
June 19,
1936 – September 27, 2014
Peacefully, after a lengthy illness, Karl Heinz
Buchart passed away at the Victoria Hospital on Saturday, September 27, 2014.
Remaining to Cherish Karl’s memory are his
children Markus Buchart and Delilah Buchart; grandchild Amy Sanford all of
Winnipeg; brother in law Alex (Shirley) Galler of Winnipeg; niece Susan (Karl)
Heymann of Courtenay, BC; as well as extended family in British Columbia and
Germany; and his little buddy Mr. Logan. He was predeceased by both parents
Lina and Herman Buchart, both of Boelhorst Germany, and in 2008 by his wife of
52 years Alla (Alice) Buchart (nee Galler).
Karl’s early years were spent in the
small village of Boelhorst, Germany where, after world war two he had fond
memories of playing soccer for the Minden team. He also greatly enjoyed
travelling the countryside in search of adventure, first on bicycle then on his
motorcycle. Shortly after marrying, Karl and Alice immigrated to Canada
in 1957. Soon thereafter he settled into his job as foreman at Motor
Coach Industries where he remained for 17 years. In 1979 Dad began his
work as an inmate instructor in the metal shop at Stony Mountain
Penitentiary. Dad also worked for many years as a doorman and security
guard at the old Winnipeg Arena and Stadium. He enjoyed the social aspect
of this work very much, and had very fond memories of all the great people he
had a chance to meet there. After retirement Dad also continued working
part time with the Corps of Commissionaires. Again the social aspect of
his work was highly satisfying to him.
