Ernst Vogt died Jan. 9, 2008. He was
born Oct. 24, 1926 in Steinbach, Man.
to Peter and Susanna Vogt. Ernst lived
in Manitoba most of his life, where
he trained as an actuary and became
head of the department of Actuary
Mathematics at the University of
Manitoba in 1958. He was a favourite
among students and colleagues for his
quick wit, sound advice, and helpful
manner. He set an example of compas-
sion and dignity by caring for his aged
parents and assisting in caring for his
brother Andrew and brother-in-law
Victor. Although he battled lifelong
health problems, he neither stopped
fighting nor caring for others during
his trials. He will be remembered for
his wisdom, capacity for life, and ability
to forgive. Predeceased by 2 brothers,
he is mourned by his wife of 56 years,
Kathy; son Rick (Rae), daughter Lori
(Sheldon); 1 granddaughter; 3 brothers.
The memorial was Jan. 19 at Saanich
Community Church, Victoria, B.C.
