In loving memory ~
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sigmund Altenried, at the age of 92. He left us peacefully in his home at Maple Ridge Senior's Village.
Sigmund leaves behind his two sons: Ralph Altenried (Kaye), Garry Altenried (Lesli), and 3 precious grand-daughters; Natasha Newberry (Andrew); Breanna Murphy (Adam) and Taylor Altenried. He was also a wonderful Opa to his 3 great-grandchildren; Ronan and Isla Newberry, and Holly Murphy.
Sigmund is pre-deceased by his loving wife of 66 years, Theresa Altenried, as well as his beloved brother Eric Altenried (Hilda) and sister Julie Kumpf (Karl).
Sigmund was born in Sinning, Germany, the son of Martin and Juliane Altenried. He met Theresa, the love of his life, when he was 19. They married in 1956 and immigrated to Canada in 1957. They eventually settled in Haney, BC in their home on River Road where they raised their two sons and made many lifelong friends.
Sigmund worked for many years at the Hammond Mill as a Shipping Foreman until retiring at the age of 62. He always loved music and was very talented. He especially enjoyed playing the accordion while Theresa sang along. Boating at Pitt Lake on the Sarina T was another passion of theirs. Sigmund and Theresa retired in Harrison Hot Springs and enjoyed many years there while they travelled the world.
Sigmund will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Immerin Unser Hertz (Always in Our Hearts).
A Celebration of Life will be held for Sigmund on Sunday, April 27th, at 12:00 noon at Meadow Gardens Golf Club, located at 19675 Meadow Gardens Way, Pitt Meadows, BC. Family and friends are welcome to attend.
