• Notes

  QUICKFALL, Herbert (Herbie) Arthur 84, died July 18, 2013 at St. Mary's General Hospital in Kitchener where he received wonderful care. Born May 6, 1929 in Waterloo Township to Arthur and Elva (Kraft) Quickfall. Loving husband of Barbara Anne (Boettger) Quickfall for 52 years. Much loved father of Heather and John Leffler, Rick Quickfall and Geovana dos Santos, Phil Quickfall and Heather Godwin. Cherished grandfather of Sarah and Lisa Leffler, Helen (Leffler) and Robert Smith, Max and Emma Quickfall. Brother to Alice and Cam Clair. Herb will be missed by his sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, honorary grandchildren, friends and neighbours. Predeceased by his parents, sister Ruth and brother-in-law Hugh Craig. Farming his Kraft grandparents farm, 620 km west of Montreal (Bridgeport), Herb owned a livestock trucking business. With Jim Clayfield, their company Fall Land Fields farmed near Breslau and employed many young people. After selling his trucking business to K & H Quickfall, Herb worked for Norstern Meat Packers and several owners who followed them. Incredibly generous, Herb provided leadership and space on the farm for generations of 1st Bridgeport Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Rovers. He was a faithful member and leader of Bridgeport United Church, a member of the Bridgeport Lions Club for over 40 years and a committed member of the Bridgeport Community Association. Gardeners, neighbours and members of The Healing of the Seven Generations enjoyed sharing the farm and river flats. Herb and Barb welcomed friends from around the world into their home through Scouts, Lions and other exchange programs. Herb was awarded the Silver Acorn in 1978 for distinguished service to Scouting and the Lions Club's Helen Keller and Melvin Jones Awards. Herb touched the lives of countless people of all ages. Herb's family will share memories with friends at the Erb & Good Family Funeral Home 171 King St. S., Waterloo on Friday, July 26, 2013 from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. A Celebration of Herb's Life will be held on Saturday, July 27, 2013 at 3 p.m. at the Bridgeport Community Centre, 20 Tyson Dr., Kitchener. Friends and family are invited to stay or drop in after the service for a time of food, fellowship and sharing stories of Herb until 7: 00 p.m. Dad, you can stop looking, you're in the paper today. We will miss you, your stories and wonderful sense of humour.
