Jan 18, 1937 - Nov 6, 2017
Johannes Terwolbeck

Johannes (John) Terwolbeck passed away, age 80, on Nov 6 at Langley Memorial Hospital.

 Johannes was born in Heek, Germany, the youngest of 13 children. A blacksmith by trade, Johannes moved to Kelowna, BC in 1985 with his wife and daughter. In the 1990's he moved his business, Artistic Iron Works, to the Tri-Cities area where he worked until his retirement.

Johannes was a true entrepreneur, always seeing out his next business opportunity with optimism and great imagination. He was an enthusiastic builder and built many of the homes that he lived in. He always had a story to tell and a whistle on his lips and he was a true joy to be around. He was a generous and kind man and very active in his church and community. He will be missed!

Johannes is survived by his wife Barbara, daughter Ulrike (Uli), his son in-law, Evan, and his two grandchildren, Erika and Jonathan.

A prayer service will be held at 6:00PM on Tuesday Nov 21 and a funeral mass will be held at 9:30 AM on Wednesday, November 22 at St. Joseph's church, 20676 Fraser Hwy, Langley BC.

A graveside service will also be held at the Gardens of Gethsemani, 15800 32 Ave, Surrey at 12:00 PM.

 In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Langley Hospital Foundation, BC Cancer Agency or a charity of your choice.
