Walter Hugenschmidt
January 13, 1930 - January 26, 2017
87 years strong! It was a valiant fight! It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather, great-grandfather Walter Hugenschmidt on January 26, 2017, at Evergreen Care unit. Walter immigrated to Canada from Germany in 1951, bringing with him a strong, industrious work ethic. With one dollar in his pocket, he knew he would do well. Speaking only German, he embraced his new life with much zest and vigor and learned a few colourful words along the way. Predeceased by his loving wife Mary of 61 years, they shared their life together settling in Prince Rupert, BC, then eventually moving to Powell River, BC. He was also predeceased by his sister Vreni Brandlin from Lorrach, Germany and survived by one sister, Waltruad Heinricher in Westendorf, Austria. Working was his passion, he was extremely ambitious and worked tirelessly on many projects to completion, and he had an eye for detail. He owned and operated his business, Certified Welders, for thirty years with his son Robert (Bob). He was a master of his craft. He also worked at Macmillan Bloedel for many years and retired from the mill in 1989. Left to remember him are his six children Ernst, Karl, Alexander, Elizabeth, Robert, Walter Jr. and grandchildren Patricia, Jennifer, Elaine, Colin, Robert and Darryl, and four great-grandchildren. There will be a celebration of his life, Thursday, February 2, at 1 pm, Stubberfield Funeral Home. Safe journey Dad, tell mom we love her and miss her!
Barrie Hooff
Barrie passed away, at peace, on Tuesday, January 24, 2017, in Powell River, after a short illness. He was born on June 10, 1946, in Powell River, the town he loved and remained in as a lifelong resident. A good son to his parents, Raymond and Irene Hooff, until they passed, Barrie enjoyed life with his siblings and nieces and nephews, all who proclaimed he was their favourite. When not at work in the mill, his time was spent producing fabulous vegetable and flower gardens and impressive woodworking. In 1989, Barrie married Sandra Hooff and happily acquired nine stepchildren: Sherry Bullock, Casey Bullock (Renee), Kevin Hooff (Cynthia), Shalem aka Sam Hooff (Sarah), Sydni aka Pansy Bennie (Mark), Sequoia aka Joe Hooff, Deserie Hooff, Sara Mardis (Chris) and Gerritt Hooff (Pamela). Barrie is survived by his wife, his stepchildren, multiple grandchildren and great-grandchildren, his two other children (his dogs, Billie and Sadie), six siblings: Dennis Hooff (Anna), Yvonne Hooff, Brent aka Buck Hooff, Fran Behan, Diane Winton, and Valerie Karlsen (Bill) and their extended families, and his longtime best friends Mal and Kathy Campbell. Immediate family who predeceased Barrie include his parents and two brothers: Raymond (aka Chuck) Hooff and David Hooff. A celebration of his life will be held on Barrie’s birthday, June 10, at Powell River Town Centre Hotel; details to be announced. The family extends sincere thanks to Dr. Marentette for her compassionate and attentive care.

Sophia Anne Hilleren March 28, 1952 - January 23, 2017
It was with heavy hearts that we had to say goodbye to our wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother and great friend, Sophia, on Monday, January 23. Sophia died peacefully, surrounded by her family, after her year long battle with cancer. We are pretty sure she was thinking about laying on a beach in Aruba with the sun on her face, sand in her toes and a rum punch in her hand. Sophie is survived by her parents Anne and Jerry, her loving husband Ron, sons Michael, Greg and Rick, daughter Shawna and her husband Ernie, daughters-inlaw Nikki and Rachel, brothers Ron, Lenny and Bradly, her Auntie Mary, four energetic grandchildren, many wonderful friends, her pup Jody, many cousins, sisters-inlaw, nieces and nephews. Sophie had very quick wit and a great sense of humour, which I’m sure many of you who knew her well can attest to. She loved her work as a medical transcriptionist for the medical clinic, Dr. Hoffert, Dr. Juszkiewicz and Dr. Howard, and took immense pride in it. Sophie loved the simple things: a good book, family and friends, Wheel of Fortune, the sun on her face, two lobster tails instead of one, spending time with her “hubby,” playing with her pup Jody, travelling to warm places in the Caribbean, and a nice, cold Bacardi and Pepsi; it had to be white Bacardi and Pepsi. The family would lastly like to graciously thank all of the nurses, doctors, and staff at the hospital who made Sophie’s last days as peaceful and comfortable as possible. The care you provided is unsurpassed. You are all saints and we will be forever thankful for all that you do. Sophie is with her angels now. In lieu of flowers, donations to BC Cancer Agency would be greatly appreciated
