Hermann Karl Bremer was born in Holzminden, Germany, in 1921. He grew up in the hills and forests of the Weserbergland. He later worked as a logger, driving horse teams. He was drafted in 1941, became a POW, first in France, later in England. After the war, Hermann worked at a plywood factory in his home town, until his emigration to Alberta, Canada. His family, wife and three daughters, followed a year later. In 1974, he and his wife, Liselotte, moved to Chilliwack, British Columbia, where he worked as a maintenance carpenter at Fraser Valley Foods. Hermann's hobby was horses and equestrian activities. He taught his daughters to ride and his special interest was show jumping.
Hermann was an active member of the New Apostolic Church, and also, of the Lower Mainland NAC Seniors Group. Hermann had many good friends wherever he lived. His generosity, consistent good humor, and love of banter will be missed by his family and friends.
