Elmer Raymond Hintz

Posted By Sobering Funeral Chapel On July 30, 2021 @ 2:14 pm In Obituaries | 14 Comments

It is with immense heartbreak and sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Elmer Raymond Hintz on Wednesday, July 28th, 2021 at Riverview Health Centre.

His memory will forever be treasured by his partner of 25 years Suzanne (Susie) Mondor, his daughters Kari & Jason Sylvester (Jesse), Ainsley & Darryl Pederson (Kaleb), his sisters and brother Helen Tober, Alfred & Marie Hintz, Edna & Roland Otto, Loreen Kenyon, Adeline & Arthur Kopp. Susie’s children Rheal Mondor & Caroline Dumont, Janelle & Jean Lafrance (Jeremie, Charite, Thomas,Sophia & Therese), Bruno & Kirsty Mondor (Arthur & George) as well as numerous nieces and nephews, in-laws, extended family and friends.

Elmer was born on January 6th, 1948, the youngest of 8 children to Julius and Helena Hintz, in Brokenhead, MB. He was baptized on June 27th, 1948 and confirmed in the Lutheran Faith at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Greenwald, MB. He was an active member of Zion Lutheran Church in Beausejour and was a current member of Faith Lutheran Church in Winnipeg.

Elmer was predeceased by his parents, sisters Dorothy Hinz, Olga Okerlund and brothers in-law Ben Tober, Myron Kenyon and Vern Okerlund.

Dad was a trucker by trade. He started his career at Naaykens Transport in Beausejour, then as an Owner/Operator for A & H in Winnipeg followed by Kindersley Transport also in Winnipeg. He retired on October 31st, 2017.

Elmer enjoyed spending time with his family, going for his morning coffee and paper at Robin’s Donuts, listening to live bands perform around Winnipeg with Susie. Dad was the life of the party. He always had a joke to share or a song to sing. We’ve never known anyone else that could tell a joke as well as he did.

Dad was diagnosed with leukemia in September 2019.

A Celebration of Elmer’s Life will take place on Monday, August 2 at 1:00 p.m. at Sobering Funeral Chapel, 1035 Park Avenue E., Beausejour with interment to follow in Zion Lutheran Cemetery. 

With COVID restrictions still in effect, there will be a limited number of invited people allowed to attend. Those who wish to attend can do so by arriving at the Funeral Home, remaining in their vehicles and tuning their radio to 98.1 FM. An opportunity to sign the guest book will be offered.

Thank you to the wonderful Doctors, Nurses and staff at Cancer Care Manitoba and the Riverview Health Centre for the loving care you showed Elmer.

He never looked for praises

He was never one to boast

He just went on quietly working

For the ones he loved the most.

His dreams were seldom spoken

His wants were very few

And most of the time his worries

Went unspoken too.

He was there…a firm foundation

Through all our storms of life

A sturdy hand to hold on to

In times of stress and strife.

A true friend we could turn to

When times were good or bad

One of our greatest blessings

The man that we called Dad.

Condolences for the family of “Elmer Raymond Hintz”

Condolence from Harlon and Barb on July 30th, 2021 4:23 pm

Kari, Jason, Ainsley, Darryl, Susie and families,
Where to begin. Elmer never met a person who was a stranger for long. He’d open with a joke and all was well. His talent for singing was always welcome at many gatherings. We send hugs to all. I came across this little poem and think it sums up our feelings well: Grief never ends,but it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love.
With deep sympathy
Harlon and Barb

As a young boy I idolized Uncle Elmer. I spent many days with him in his truck and thought that was so cool. Eating lunch from the lunch wagon and drinking pop! Then we would get in his Coronet and bomb down highway 59 at speeds of 85-90 mph. Wow! I recall watching him play hockey and then in later years sharing a smoke or a good drink of rum. All great memories. I feel blessed he was my uncle, but Kari and Ainsley you were truly blessed with an amazing father who loved you more than life itself. Until we meet again Uncle Elmer, sing a song with Elvis and tell Jesus a “clean” joke. Rest In Peace. Rod Hintz
