Earl Melverne Rumohr
(November 13, 1926 - December 8, 2008)
Earl was born in the Naco area on November 13, 1926 to William Thomas and Mildred Fern Rumohr. He shared his life with many people.
He spent his younger years on the farm as a cowboy, gopher trapper (the tails were spending money) and animal trainer. Earl enjoyed sports of all kinds - being involved in baseball, hockey, rodeo, and many others. Hunting and fishing were two of his favourite pastimes. Every grandchild and then his great-grandchild, as well as many other children, learned how to fish with him.
Earl and Joyce married May 3, 1948 and were constant companions in life throughout their sixty years of marriage. They were involved with camping, fishing, and family. They always greeted each other with a kiss and held hands. Their affection will last forever.
Earl had many jobs in his lifetime including mechanic, CPR Agent, oilfield worker, and carpenter. There were also the unofficial ones like barber, hockey coach, hunting guide and, of course, the one he held for 35 years through 2 or 3 generations - the one where everyone called him the "real one" in the red suit.
Earl belonged to many organizations including Kinsmen, Masons, Acadia Foundation, and Community Futures. He also served as a councillor of the town and Mayor for a period of time.
A friend to all age groups, Earl could give advice to you on almost anything.
We will all have our own little memories of Earl in our lives and especially his family, brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, and his large group of friends of all ages.
Keep them all smiling up there Earl.
Earl was predeceased by his parents William (1957) and Mildred (1974); infant sister (1923); brother George (1995); sister Mary (2004); brother James (2008); brother-in law Slim (2001); and sisters-in-law Velma (1998) and Marguarite (2006).
He is survived by his wife Joyce; children Dale (Deanna); Wayne (Laura); Cheryle (Manfred); Sheila (David); grandchildren Karen, Kristen, Gillian (Tyrel), Kyley, Joshua, Candace, Darcey, Christopher and Craig; five great-grandchildren Branden, Johnathon, Gatlin, R.J. and Mason; brothers Gerry, Harold (Hazel), Ken (Agnes), and Gordon (Grace); and sisters-in-law Barbara and Betty.
Funeral Service was held Sunday, December 14, at the Sportex in Consort, Alberta. Officiating Clergy were Rev. Roger Kett and Catherine Stuart. Robbie Knight was the organist and special music was provided by the Knox United Church Choir and The Gilmers. A eulogy was given by Gordon Schetzsle and Joan Bakke. Hymns were "In The Garden" and "Old Rugged Cross."
Pallbearers were Charles Mohr, Dwayne Howard, Jason Sansregret, Phil Barber, Len Day, and Ron Guenthner. Honorary Pallbearers were all of Earl's extended family who cared and shared in his life.
Memorial tributes may be directed to a charity of the donor's choice.
Following the funeral service, family and friends were invited to a luncheon hosted by the New Brigden Community Club in the Consort Sportex. Masonic burial and committal service was held on Monday, December 15 at the Cophill Cemetery, Sedalia, Alberta.
