Koeppe, Hermann
(Jan. 3 1946- Aug. 30 2022)
Passed away with family at his side on Tuesday, August 30, 2022 at the age of 76 in Orillia at the Leacock Care Center. Cherished and beloved husband of Christa (nee Findling). Loving father of Tania (Lorin), Thomas (Christa!), Sarah (Felix). Opa to Tobias, Athena, Damien, Luisa, Sophia, Anja, Sonia and Svenya. Dear brother of Karl-Heinz (Isolde). He will be dearly missed by many nephews, nieces, family and friends.
Hermann was born in Spoeren, Germany. He immigrated to Canada in 1961 and settled with his family in Jerseyville. He graduated with an M.A. from McMaster University in 1971. Then, he taught languages for 30 years as a highschool teacher at Aldershot and Nelson High School in Burlington. As his health declined, he moved to Orillia with Christa in 2020 to be closer to family.
He lived his faith and was a dedicated member of St John’s Lutheran Church, Hamilton. He will be remembered for the twinkle in his eye and his mischievous grin. He was passionate about fishing at the cottage and sports, especially the Bayern Muenchen soccer team. He treasured his wife of 50 years, his children and grandchildren. Hermann was truly loved by all that knew him. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to all involved in his medical care and support.
Visitation will take place at Trinity Lutheran Church (104 Hughson St. N, Hamilton) on Friday September 30, 2022 4-7 pm. A Celebration of Life will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church on Saturday October 1, 2022 at 11:00 am.
