Obituary of Erwin Franz Boegershausen

October 15, 1936 – East Prussia, Poland
September 6, 2021 - Calgary, Alberta

Erwin Boegershausen of Calgary, AB, passed away on Monday, September 6, 2021, at the age of 84 years.

Erwin was born in East Prussia, Poland on October 15, 1936. He moved to Berlin, Germany in 1945 and immigrated to Canada in 1956. Erwin met Anna Girvan in Calgary, AB in 1958 and married December 31, 1961, in Glasgow, Scotland. Much of Erwin’s career was with Korvette Masonry until he joined a partnership with Comcor Masonry where he completed his career as sole owner. Erwin was particularly proud of his family, including watching his grandchildren participate through their many activities.   Erwin never missed an opportunity to point out his brick workmanship!  He enjoyed spending time in his garden, cheering on his favourite sports teams, challenging his mind with Sudoku and was fascinated with how things work. For Erwin, Saturday mornings were not complete without listening to his favourite German music on the radio. He loved helping anyone who needed his skills and talents, especially his family. He will be most remembered for his humour and caring nature to help family and friends; “No” was not a word in his vocabulary. 

Besides his loving wife, Anna, Erwin is survived by his daughter Cathie (Steve) of Calgary, AB; his grandchildren, Derek and Kathleen of Calgary, AB. He is also survived by his brothers, Heinz, Benno (Ursula), Horst (Karen), and extended family, all of Germany and many brothers and sisters-in-law, and extended family, across Canada, United States and Scotland. 

Erwin was predeceased by his parents, Agnes and Karl Boegershausen and sister-in-law Inge Boegershausen.
