Helmut was born in Karo Germany on February 18, 1930. He immigrated to Canada in 1952. He was a long-time resident of Howick Township and lived 50 years on the farm “behind the Creamery”. Over those 50 years, his work changed many times from full-time farmer to full-time carpenter, off the farm and then again to part-time hobby farmer. During the later years on the farm, he had a huge vegetable garden and flocks of chicken, ducks and geese. He lived for 10 years in Listowel before moving to Luther Village in Waterloo earlier this year.
