Obituary

Peacefully on Wednesday, July 6th, 2017, Jacob W. Falk passed away at the Vita Personal Care Home.

He leaves to mourn his passing his wife of 55 years, Louise, son Cliff (Eleanor), daughter Dianne (Don), daughter-in-law Jane; four grandchildren: Kristen, Curtis, Tiffany (Mike), Matthew (Sarah); and five great-grandchildren: Aiden, Niveah, Lillianna, Essence, and Prior.
He was predeceased by his son Larry on August 10, 2006.

Dad was born the youngest of eleven children to Dave and Agatha Falk. He grew up on a farm near Landmark. On October 14, 1951, he married Louise Schalla of the Rosengard area. They lived in Steinbach where they raised their three children Larry, Cliff, and Dianne.

From a very young age, Dad loved to work and tinker with anything mechanical, especially cars. He was a very resourceful person and could fix almost anything which allowed him to help many people over the years. He spent most of his life as a mechanic, shop foreman, or salesman.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Vita Personal Care Home for their wonderful care of our dad over the last three years.
