We undersdtand that attendance at a service will be by invitation due to Covid-19. If there were room, I would love to attend the service.
To the Gothe family, We were very sorry to hear about the loss of your husband and father.
We have strong memories of your father through our father, Otto Fischer and our uncle Frank Fischer.
They shared sailing adventures on Kamloops Lake and encountered each other often in the construction industry as Kamloops developed. They were pioneers in a way, growing the town and their families with a strong work ethic and values.
Our condolences to the whole family. You will miss Opa, but he’ll be firmly in your hearts always.
