JOHNNIE ZUBACH

JOHNNIE THOMAS ZUBACH, beloved husband of Helen Zubach of Lethbridge, AB, passed away at home on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at the age of 66 years. He is the loving father of children, Trina (Owen) Zarazun and Wade (Trudy) Zubach; proud grandfather of Kirstie, Justin and baby Wyatt. He is also survived by his brother Raymond (Margaret) Zubach, sisters, Marion (Bjorn) Nielson and Francis (Walter) Boras and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by; parents Peter and Mayre Zubach. Johnnie ‘Zooch’ Zubach was born August 27, 1942 in Lethbridge, AB, to Peter and Mayre Zubach, the third of four children. Dad received his education in Lethbridge at St. Francis and went on to study mechanics at SAIT in Calgary, AB. He worked side by side with his younger brother Raymond at the family business, Pete’s Wheel Alignment. Dad was proud of his later work with Dresser Rand and being involved with the Hibernia project. In his recent years, dad continued to keep busy at Ward’s Rentals, repairing equipment. When dad was away from work he enjoyed the simple things in life, fishing, hunting, camping and off-roading with the Coulee Cruisers Jeep Club, BBQ’s with the family in the back yard and a few rounds on the lawn tractor at the acreage. Dad will always be remembered for his gift of conversation and his sense of humor?… his laugh was loud and full of joy. If you ever told dad a good joke, you know what we mean. We are glad for the fun and the memories dad, we miss you. A Memorial Service will be held at ST. PATRICK’S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, 318 - 10 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, March 14, 2009 at 11:00 A.M., with Reverend Mr. Frank Peta officiating.
