THEODORUS (TED) PECHT passed away peacefully in the presence of loved ones on Friday, February 8, 2008, at the age 94 years. He and his devoted wife Jacoba enjoyed 58 years of marriage together, until her passing in 1997. Theo will be sadly missed by his four children; Cobi Juhasz (Bill Rab), Thea Tinordi (Louie), Theo Pecht (Bev) and Fritz Pecht (Sandi Atwood), 12 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. He is also survived by one brother, Bertes Pecht and several nieces and nephews in Holland. Theo was born in The Hague, Holland on November 29, 1913. He and Jacoba brought their children to Canada in 1957 to build a better future for their family. Theo worked as a draftsman in Lethbridge until his retirement. During his long life, Theo enjoyed painting and drawing, and loved to dance and sing. Most of all, our dear father/Opa/friend will be remembered for his keen sense of humor and fun-loving spirit. A Memorial Service will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge on Thursday, February 14, 2008 at 1:00 P.M. with Mitch Thomsen officiating. What would I give to clasp his hand, His happy face to see, To hear his voice and see his smile, That meant so much to me.
