Obituary of HANS FRIEDHELM ULRICH

Hans Friedhelm Ulrich

Hans Ulrich, husband of the late Annemarie Ulrich, was born on July 16, 1932 to Ella and Fritz Ulrich in Zeinecke, Germany (now Poland). He passed away peacefully with family by his side on Sunday, December 21, 2025.

He was predeceased by his daughter (Doris Brown), brothers, Manfred, George, and Egon, seven sister-in-laws and three brothers-in-law, and great grandchildren who first opened their eyes in heaven.

Hans is survived by his children Peter, Karin (Mike) Potratz, Viola (Rod) Giesbrecht, Armin (Joy), son-in-law Robert Brown (Joyce), 13 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren.

He also leaves his brother, Fritz (Dagmar), sister-in-law, Carol Ulrich, brother-in-law, Siegfried Skusa (Germany), and many nieces and nephews and their families.

Our dad was a gentle, quite man with a steadfast faith. It gives us great peace knowing that he is now in the presence of his Heavenly Father and reunited with our mom, sister and other loved ones.

We would like to thank the many home care workers, doctors and other health care professionals who provided care for our dad in such a compassionate and dignified way. We also want to thank the staff and residents of Devonshire House for welcoming our dad and mom with open arms in 2022. Thank you to his Rowandale Baptist Church family who made time to visit in the later years when he and our mom were unable to attend church.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, January 5, 2026 at 12:00 noon at the Cropo Funeral Chapel (Transcona) at 1800 Day Street. Viewing at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Sunnyside Cemetery. There will be no reception.
