Cherished father of Edward (Tracey), William (Debbie), Linda (Vito) and Monica (Alick) and grandfather to Matthew, Richard, Andrew, Michael, Justin, Julia, Sarah, Aidan and Sam. Survived by brothers Josef (Hermine) and John (Barbara). Helmut was born in Tudersdorf Austria and immigrated to Canada where he met and married the love of his life Gertrude in 1956. Helmut will be fondly remembered for his devotion to family, love of long nature walks and Gertrude’s cooking. He worked for over 30 years at R. Reininger & Son. He will be remembered by many friends for his dedication to Austrian culture through service to the Austrian and Burgenländer Clubs where he was actively involved for over 50 years. In 2007 Helmut was awarded the Gold Medal of Honour by the Austrian Canadian Council for his service.
