Obituary of KRAHN – Herbert

September 5, 1929 – May 29, 2010 It is with great sadness that the family of Herbert Krahn announces his passing on Saturday, May 29, 2010 at the age of 80 years. Herb was born on September 5, 1929 in Aberdeen, Saskatchewan and married Anne on October 29, 1950. He was general manager for Simpson’s Contract Division for sixteen years and moved the family to Calgary in 1972. Herb was highly respected in the business community in both Saskatoon and Calgary. Above all else, the most important aspect of his life was the overwhelming love and devotion he had for his family.
