    Jack Boettger
    Saturday, July 7th, 1923 - Friday, February 18th, 2022

    John Daniel (Jack) Boettger passed away peacefully February 18, 2022, surrounded by family. Left to celebrate his life and missing his amazing hugs are his wife of 73 years, Ruby (Decher), his children Susan Rivers (Keith), Allan Boettger, Kathy Duncan, Tom Boettger (Kate), Karen Boettger and Cindy Fish (Dave), as well as his grandchildren Angela Boettger (Paul Basarke), Paul Boettger, Adam Kasper (Shannan), Andrew Rivers (Kelly), Gillian Dyck (Dan), Stephanie Bezaire (Phil), Geoffrey Rivers (Kourtney), Scott Boettger (Melissa), Trevor Smith, Aaron Duncan (Jessica), Isabella Wideman (Ben), Courtney Fish, Jena Fish and 17 great grandchildren.

    Jack was predeceased by sister Shirley Hoch and brothers Ken Boettger and Harold Boettger, son-in-law Kevin Duncan and daughter-in-law Laura Smith. He was a Canadian Navy veteran of World War II, a lifetime member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Kitchener and past president of KW Project Woodwork.
    Jack's greatest loves, after Ruby, were family, golf and the Blue Jays. He never missed an opportunity to play with his 30 grand and great grand children. They all share fond memories of time spent together. He was always ready to tee off for a round on the links with friends and family, claiming two aces and shooting his age in the process. He and Ruby followed the Jays to spring training, as well as on road trip bus tours during their time in retirement.

    Jack raised his family with great work ethic, unconditional love, grace and humility. He demonstrated the importance and strength of faith and family. We are doing our best to live and pass on his legacy.

    We are proud to be the house that Jack built.

    The family would like to thank the staff of the Village of Winston Park for their care of Jack during his time with them.

    Jack's family will receive relatives and friends from 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM on Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022 at Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener. Funeral will be held at Henry Walser Funeral Home on Thursday, February 24, 2022 at 10:00 AM with interment at Memory Gardens Cemetery to follow.
