PETER HEINRICH KASPER
Peter Heinrich Kasper died May 12 at age 104. He was born July 1, 1901 in Eichenfeld, Ukraine. He married Anna Martens July 7, 1922. From 1914-1948, Peter lived through WWI, the Russian Revolution, the Great DepreSSion, and WWII. His eyewitness accounts of these times were riveting to hear. Peter immigrated to Canada with Anna and their children Oct. 20, 1948. Peter was an industrious and hard-working man, and spent the next 21 years working for Monarch Industries as a machinist. In retire- ment, he enjoyed building carpentry projects, travelling to the U.s., and spending time with his grandchildren. His home was always open to church youth. Having never owned a car, he did most of his travelling in the city on foot, which helped keep him vigorous and strong. He was blessed with health until his last day and was still living independently in his own apartment. He is mourned by daughter-in-law Hilda Kasper ; 3 granddaughters; 3 great-grandsons.
