Tony Himmelman
1966-2019
This is a love letter in honour
Our favourite Super Hero Tony St. Clair Himmelman 53, on
Monday, June 10, 2019 in the VG Hospital, Halifax took his last breath
in the arms of his loving wife Krista. Their love endures and forever
inspires, much like the man himself. Born in
Liverpool, Nova Scotia on January 25, 1966, Tony was the son of Eileen
Himmelman and the late Maurice Himmelman. Strong women raise strong
sons and forever thankful for you love was he.
After graduating from Bridgewater Sr. High School Tony was
employed at Gerhardt Property Improvement as a landscaper. Tony was a
consummate, honorary family member of the Gerhardt clan, co-worker and
true friend whose patience and his eye for detail within his work
ethic was bar none. Camaraderie, laughter and endless Tim’s
runs were legendary and will be sorely missed by everyone whom had the
pleasure of working along side with him, whether within the company
itself or the further lasting friendships he made with the clients he
created for.
Being a devoted and loving husband, Dad and Poppy came just
as second nature. A blended family was created with the love
of his life Krista which was never a his or hers scenario.
We were and are 7 together, forevermore.
Alexander, Paul, Amanda, Anthony and Matthew~ your Dad loved
you with his first breath upon meeting each of you ‘til his
very last. To have Alex hold his hand in all his stead through
everything meant more to him than any material gift could ever pay
tribute to all your love together. Tony’s love was
their lifeline in good times and bad. As you make your way through,
know his love endures and will guide you through everything, even the
hard bits.
Oh how Tony loved and was so proud of his little loves, his
grandchildren- Poppy’s sidekicks. Aliannah, Hailey, Keegan,
Jack, Gavin, Grayson and Elliot~ so excited he will always be to
welcome any little loves to his life and he theirs. Look UP!
Poppy’s love will find you always. To his siblings
Peggy, Dot, Jr, Marie, Elaine, Joyce and Brad~ Tony’s love
will forever live within each of you with tales of childhood and the
best funny stories to bring his laughter to life again.
To Tony’s nieces and nephews~ Uncle
Tony’s love finds and guides and breathes within. Thank you
for love. To his beloved sister-in-law Nanci Douglas,
mother-in-law Shirley Grant whom Tony treasured beyond measure~ may
you always know how beautiful and loved you both are by him and
all. To his Ashlyn and Jenna~ forever know laughter and
endless love and the value of correctly timed inappropriate humour,
even when you are hurting to find your smiles again is always the
right choice in any situation.
To his nurses who cared for and fell in love with our Tony,
we owe you a thank you that can never be repaid.
There will be no service per his request. Cremation and
countless arrangements lovingly taken care of by R.A. Corkum Funeral
Home. Thank you Krista and staff.
Tony loved family and friends and life to the very end. A
celebration of life will be held at a later date when we are
ready. Tony is guiding us ‘till we
can.
Goodnight
my love XO
