Dear auntie Elfriede, dear Heidi, dear Andrea and all others i am not knowing.
By saerching the phone nuber for auntie Elfriede & uncle Bertl, i stumbled over this announce.
My Name is Martin Nussbaum, from Switzerland, near Zurich.
In deep sadness, I only found out about the death of Uncle Bertl on December 04, 2021 in mid-February 22.
We first met in the summer of 1974 when my mom and I (then 11 years old) visited you on Beil Avenue in Calgary for the summer vacation.
It was my most meaningful summer vacation of my entire life.
Uncle Bertl showed us Canada, the Rock Mountains and his vacation home on Sylvan Lake.
Although my mom was just a friend from school, we were immediately integrated into the family.
Uncle Bertl was a very good father and husband.
He had a great sense of humor and always knew a good joke in the right place.
After the summer holidays of 1974, we met at our place, near Zurich, in 1976, 1979, 1985 and finally in Hof in 2006.
I would like to thank you for all these wonderful hours that I was able to spend with Uncle Bertl and his family and friends.
I will keep fond memories of his great hospitality, sense of family and last but not least his great sense of humor for the rest of my life.
Martin Nussbaum, son of Helen Nussbaum, native Windhager
