With saddened hearts we announce the passing of Hartmut Krieger who was born August 22, 1940 in Frankfurt Germany. Hartmut passed away peacefully at the age of 73 in 100 Mile Hospital after a long year of illness.
He was self-employed for 35 years and after developing scleroderma he was forced into an early retirement. This did not slow him down! Hartmut built his own shop on Horse Lake Road and was often seen driving his tractor around, busy at work in his yard. Hartmut was predeceased by his son Hartmut Krieger Jr. and sister Margot Weingartner. Survived by his daughters: Yvonne Krieger Gionet (Norm) and Yvette Betz (Frank), his grandchildren: Joseph Maute and Noah Betz, his great grandchild Carter Maute and his siblings: Wolfgang Thomae and Karl Heinz Krieger. Hartmut will be deeply missed by all who know him including his dog Shadow.
A celebration of his life will be held on Sat., August 9, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at his daughter’s residence at 5048 N. Kinncum Road, 108 Mile Ranch. In lieu of flowers, donations are welcome to be made to any of the following: The Scleroderma Association, Box 218, Delta Main, Delta, BC V4K 3N7; The Canadian Diabetes Association (100 Mile House and District Branch), 1589 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 5Y7 or to the South Cariboo Health Foundation, Bag 399, 100 Mile House, BC V0K 2E0.
