It is with sadness that we announce the fact that the body of JOHAN “JOHN” F. DORMAAR Ph.D, D.Sc.h.c., FCSSS of Lethbridge has reached its highest level of entropy on Thursday, February 2, 2011 at the age of 80 years. Left to cherish his memory are his beloved children; Steve (Karen), Paul (Louise) and Jud (Richard), grandchildren; Amanda, Andy, Jamie, Janelle, Nicholas, Peter and Sean, great grandchildren Adrian and Logan, brother Nicholas, and a special friend. Johan was predeceased by his parents, two half sisters and one infant grandchild. Johan was born in a military hospital in Indonesia on February 16, 1930, spent the World War II years under German occupation in the Netherlands, came to Canada in 1953 and to Lethbridge in 1962 where he lived the rest of his life. His career was spent at the Agriculture Canada Research Centre. As well, he was involved with the Archaeological Societies of Lethbridge and Alberta, the Historical Society of Lethbridge, the Chinook Outdoor Club, Alpine Club of Canada, Glacier Mountaineering Society, Scouts Canada, the Lethbridge Science Fair and the Alberta Wildflower Survey. He had a deep pedological, geological and historical interest in the landscape of Southern Alberta with all its varieties from prairie to rivers, canyons, ridges and mountains. With this background he was able to assist the Geoarchaeology and Geomorphology field courses at the University of Lethbridge. Johan worked hard and played hard, was tough and tender, foolish and wise. Nevertheless he lived life to the fullest. He loved a warm fireplace after a long hard day in the outdoors. He also loved the meandering curvilinear pathways of life and was intrigued by what today’s adventure would bring him tomorrow. We will be celebrating Johan’s life at the GALT MUSEUM, 502 - 1st St. S, Lethbridge on Saturday, February 19, 2011. Open house 6:00 - 9:00 p.m., open mic, please join us and share your stories.
