Arnold Paul Schlapkohl June 30, 1923 April 18, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Arnold Schlapkohl - husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. Arnold will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Diane (Roland) Nordick and his son Wayne (Laur ie) Schlapkohl; three grandchildren, Jeffrey Nordick, Michelle Nordick and Ka t h e r i n e S c h l a p ko h l ; o n e brother Elmer Cole, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his wife of 59 years, Betty; his parents, Henry and Bertha Schlapkohl and his brothers, Fred, Alfred and Louis Schlapkohl. Arnold was the youngest of five children and grew up on a farm southeast of Estevan. His mother passed away when he was 8 years of age leaving his father to raise the five boys on his own. He said they never had running water or electricity, transportation was by horse and buggy/sleigh, times were tough during the thirties, but as kids they had fun, they had each other and were a happy family. At the age of 17, in the middle of winter, Arnold “hopped the freight train” and headed to Ontario for work. Canada was at war but Arnold was able to find employment as a logger for the Kenora Paper Mill, labourer on a mixed farm, fencing with the railway and labourer at a carbon factory. In 1943, he joined the Royal Canadian Navy and served on the mine-sweeper, the H.M.C.S. Swift Current as a telegraphist. After being discharged from the Navy in 1945, Arnold returned to Estevan where he farmed alongside his father and later with his brother, Elmer before settling into a career with the Manalta Coal Company where he worked as a dragline operator until his retirement in 1986. Arnold met Elizabeth (Betty) Dillman in the spring of 1952. They were married on April 30, 1953. Arnold not only found the love of his life with Betty, but they tackled every task of daily living together for 59 years. His commitment to his marriage and to his children was second to none. He treasured every moment spent with Betty, with his children and later with his grandchildren. Arnold believed in “giving back” to his community and to others and would quietly go about delivering “meals on wheels”, visiting in the hospital, bringing raspberries or other goodies to shut-ins, shovelling a driveway in the winter...never looking for any recognition, but doing so because it was the right thing to do. He truly lived by the Golden Rule. Arnold was a member of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church since 1957 and volunteered his time and talents at the church in many different ways during those 58 years. Arnold loved to dance and was a member of the Estevan Square and Round Dance Club for 40 years. He also enjoyed old-time dancing in Estevan and the surrounding communities. He described his dancing friends as “family”. In retirement, Arnold and Betty travelled to Hawaii, the Maritimes, Alaska, Florida, California, Arizona, Nashville, Reno and the Scandinavian countries. But Arnold’s greatest joys were the simple things in life ? spending time with family and friends, playing cards, visiting over a cup of coffee, tending to his garden or reading a good history book. Arnold Paul Schlapkohl was a blessing to so many lives - and he felt he was blessed by the many people who became a part of his life. His genuine concern for other people, his gentle spirit and his sense of humour will be greatly missed. A Funeral Service for Arnold was held at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, Estevan, on Friday, April 24, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Randy Kleemola officiating. Interment followed in the Veterans Section at the Estevan City Cemetery. Those so wishing may make a donation to St. Peter’s Lutheran Church or the Royal Canadian Legion in Estevan in Arnold’s memory.Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Estevan. Thank You Thank you to all the family and friends for your cards, phone calls, gifts of food and words of encouragement.

Her favorite things: family and grandchildren, music and more music, hanging out clothes on a spring morning when the birds are singing, good friends- and I’ve had many, baking, (Including her famous cinnamon buns), cooking, sewing and mending, going on drives, flowers, pussywillows and crocuses.

Unfinished Work: Lots - quilts to finish, etc. I want to be remembered for; Being honest, humble not “braggy” or proud; trying to get along peaceably with everybody; and trying to always return good for evil. “I have lived a long and good life so I hope you won’t grieve for me. It’s only natural I would go when the Good Lord calls. I am ready.” The Graveside service was held on Monday, April 20, 2015 at the Alameda Cemetery with Sandy Dalziel officiating.
