Shirly , We Are So Shocked And Saddened Hearing Of The Passing Of Horst. Our Deepest Condolences To Shirly And The Entire Volkman Family. Horst Was An Amazing Person Who We Enjoyed Stopping And Talking With Horst On His Latest Ventures In Life. I Always Enjoyed Our Time Together When Shirley And Horst Would Come In For Service. Once They Moved To Fergus They Still Returned To Bolton For Shirley’s Hair Appointments And Vehicle Service, He Will Be Greatly Missed. Rest In Peace My Friend.

Sorry to hear of Horsts passing. We had many interesting chats during his dental visits. Condolences to the whole family.

Unsere aufrichtige Anteilnahme zu eurem Verlust. Ich kann mich noch an das letzte Treffen in Hannover erinnern, Onkel Horst hat seinen deutschen Dialekt nie verloren. Ich sende euch allen viel Kraft und Liebe. Er ist immer in unseren Herzen.

Our sincere condolences for your loss. I can still remember the last meeting in Hanover; Uncle Horst never lost his German dialect. I send you all lots of strength and love. He is always in our hearts.

Our sincere condolences for your loss.

Rose and I want to extend our deepest sympathies to the entire Volkmann family. Mark & Steve, your father’s legacy will live on through the love and wisdom he passed on to both of you. May you find strength in his memory. Our interactions with Horst were few and far between throughout the years, but the ones we did have were very positive experiences. Horst had a straightforward way of speaking to anyone, you knew that whatever he said to you was sincere and without any ambiguity.

With love , Rose and Tony Cavallari

To Horst’s family,

Our deepest condolences to all of you. Horst was a wonderful gentleman. My husband Joe and Horst enjoyed many conversations at the Garden Centre. May he rest in peace.

Katy Below & family

Our deepest condolences to the Volkmann family. I met Hoarst when we volunteered on the Bolton Ag. Society together. Lovely man. May he rest in eternal peace

To dear Shirley and the entire Volkman family. You have been our dear neighbors.for the past few years in Pine Meadows,, Belwood. we have enjoyed a few games of cribbage, Hoare used to come to Shuffleboard with us in Elora, and we had many visits just on the porch. He was always working in his flowerbeds, nurturing his lawn, And trying to raise tomato plants bigger than ours. We had a contest on who could grow the better. He showed us his wonderful carvings that he had done over the years , a talant to behold . We will surely miss him dearly, he was a gentleman and we enjoyed his friendship. he is now free of discomfort, and with the Lord. May you rest in peace. Your friends, Bill and Maureen.

Liebe Shirley, lieber Stephen, lieber Mark!
Wir alle aus Hannover möchten Euch und Euren Familien unser herzlichstes und tiefempfundenes Beileid ausdrücken.
Horst war ein charismatischer, sympathischer, kluger, aufrichtiger Mann.
Leider konnte ich nur selten mit meinem Onkel zusammen sein, doch diese Zeit habe ich immer sehr genossen!
Er hat uns voller Stolz sein Land gezeigt, ist kilometerweit mit uns durch die schönsten Gegenden Ontarios gefahren. Er wusste so viel über die Natur, die Pflanzen und Tiere.
Er war mit uns campen und fischen, das waren die schönsten Urlaube meines Lebens!
Ebenso war er so sehr an seinem Geburtsland interessiert. So sind wir mit ihm ebenfalls durch die Gegend gefahren, haben Schlösser und Fachwerkhäuser besichtigt!
Ich habe ihm so gerne amüsiert zugeschaut, wenn er seine Hühner gebadet hat! Ich habe seine Schnitzkunst bewundert.
Ich habe so gerne mit ihm nachts vor seinem Haus gesessen, die Sterne angeschaut, und mit ihm über “Gott und die Welt” geredet! Ich habe seinen Berliner Dialekt geliebt, wenn er Geschichten von früher erzählt hat!
Mein Lieblingssouvenir ist eine Kaffeetasse von “Tim Hortons”, die er mir noch am Flughafen mit einem verschmitzten Lächeln überreicht hat – nur er und ich wissen um die Bedeutung!
Ich bin sehr traurig, und ich werde meinen Lieblingsonkel immer in meiner Erinnerung behalten., Er hatte ein langes, interessantes und sicher auch schönes Leben, möge er nun in Frieden ruhen.

We are so fortunate to share such great memories with Horst in northern British Columbia. We remember walking the streets of Prince Rupert and Horst was looking for the perfect gift to take home to you. He put a lot of thought into it. We are grateful to have spent the week with him.
Love, Sandi, Ron and Steve

Mark and Stephen and families, Sincere condolences from friends of a long time ago. We loved to visit the little farm and tried to learn something about gardens and animals. Your parents were good friends. I have some very good memories. The Pilsons’

Shirley, Stephen, Mark, and families, I can hear “Onkel” Horst’s hearty laugh and see the twinkle in his eyes even now. My condolences on your loss.

Our deepest condolences to the Volkmann family. We will surely miss Horst as our neighbour at Pine Meadows. May you rest in peace. Gilles and Carolyn

Miss Shirley, Mark and Steve… My condolences on the velocity of your father and my uncle… I wish I would’ve known him better, as well as all of you…

I know he lived a good life with y’all, and I pray that you find peace and consolation, in the fact that he lived a full and prosperous life… He’s moved on to be with the Lord now, and sometimes soon we will all be with him as well…

I pray that the love and peace of the Lord Jesus Christ, be with you all, and know that His mercy and love is sufficient in all moments… If we only turn to him with our needs and depend on His grace.

God bless and keep you all

Alberto Volkmann, from New Orleans

To the Volkmann Family: So sorry to hear of Horst’s passing. I met your Mom at bowling and through her met your Dad. I used to see your Dad at the Wellness Centre and he always had a friendly smile and kind words. Sweet, sweet man. Missed seeing him when I moved. Keep those memories close.

Tom and I want to extend our deepest sympathies to the family.
We were so fortunate to have spent our vacations north fishing with Horst and Shirley and we have so many happy memories of Horst.
Rest in peace

Shirley, Stephen, Mark & Extended Family:

Please except our condolences on the loss of Horst. We met in the fall of 2004 while taking lessons from a mutual friend on how to carve a duck. As these lessons continued year after year we became good friends and shared many laughs and how he enjoyed the fishing trips. We also learned that both of us worked in the printing industry and for several years had worked in side-to-side buildings in the Toronto downtown area. As an excellent carver and gentleman I know he will missed by many.

Grace & Lionel Hall

Volkmann Family

Cherish the memories you had with him.
My thoughts are with Mark, Carm, Hannah(Jeanette), Chelsea and Stephen, Julie, Brandon and Sheldon and the entire Volkmann family at this very difficult time.

Much love
Shelley
