Erwin will be deeply missed by his wife, Mary Ann; son John (Karen); as well as grandchildren Nora and Rylan. On August 1, 1935, Erwin was born in Plaschov, Lutzk Wolynia, Poland. During the Second World War, his family was relocated to different places in Europe. In the fall of 1949, Erwin immigrated to Canada from Germany with his mother and younger siblings, Edith and Helmut. Their new home was made in Inglis, Manitoba. From 1955 to 1959, he worked in the Snow Lake and Lynn Lake mines. In 1960, Erwin began working for the City of Winnipeg in the Parks and Recreation/Forestry branches. He reluctantly retired early in 1991 due to his ill health. In spite of having to live through the consequences of war, and facing several health challenges, Erwin lived his life with optimism, gratitude, and a strong belief in God.
