Obituary for Gustav Henry "Gus" Uhmann

Gustav Henry "Gus"  Uhmann
UHMANN: Gustav
Sept. 21, 1918 – Nov. 12, 2013
Gustav Henry Uhmann was born in Czechoslovakia on September 21, 1918 the youngest of seven children, to Frank and Anna. He trained as a physical therapist and immigrated to Canada in 1939, homesteading in Loon Lake. Gus married Gertrud Sinek in London, England in 1939. Together they raised two children Eric & Dorothy. They moved to Manitou Beach in 1942, to continue his profession as a Registered Physical Therapist. Later this included shared time in Winnipeg (1949) leaving Gertie to manage the farm on her own, with the help and advice of neighbours, many of whom had immigrated with them and spoke German. In order to earn a living, he would also work in the lab and x-ray departments at the Watrous Hospital and do other jobs. He was always proud of his profession and was a founding member (one of the first ten) of the Saskatchewan and Manitoba Physical Therapy Associations, serving on the executive. He served the community of Manitou Beach as Councillor and later travelled in all kinds of weather from Winnipeg to attend monthly council meetings. He enjoyed skiing, curling and bird hunting with friends. He remained an active member of Watrous Masonic Lodge and Khartom Shrine Temple in Winnipeg. While he was a Shrine member he could pursue his passion for motorcycles and later sports cars. Family and friends were very important to him. Lovingly survived by his loving wife of 74 years, Gertrud; son Eric (Verone) of Winnipeg; daughter Dorothy of Calgary; grandson Scott (Janice), great-grandchildren Finley and Amelia all of Winnipeg; grand-daughter Tanys (Eric) of Ottawa; and grand-daughters Shauna and Cheryl of Calgary.
