Herman Muenzer

Herman Paul Muenzer, born June 19th, 1937 in Daysland Alberta, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on November 30, 2020 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He passed peacefully, having one hand held by his wife and the other by his daughter. He accomplished many things over his long and rewarding life. He grew up in Northern Alberta on a mink farm. He was accepted into the military under their RMC program which sent him to university to become an engineer. Upon graduation he served in the Royal Canadian Navy flying helicopters off destroyers and the venerable HMCS Bonaventure. After leaving the navy he drove taxi cabs in Montreal and worked at engineering firms until he was hired by Air Canada in 1966. He absolutely loved flying for Air Canada and often said that he had won the lottery with that job. He retired as a Training Captain on the Airbus A340. During retirement he never stopped. He and Connie moved to Clementsport, Nova Scotia where he started a chamber of commerce in a community where he did not own a business. He also tried his hand at haskap berry farming. While he was never successful at growing the plant his lines in the field were immaculately clean and straight. People would often stop their cars and stare. His tractor was rumoured to be a major contributor to global warming as it never seemed to stop running. If he wasn’t on his tractor then he was on his riding mower keeping his thirteen acres neat. The neighbours were extremely tolerant. For many years he did taxes for people in his community at cost or for free. He was very fond of bridge and the group of people that he played with. He had many, many friends in Clementsport and his family wishes to thank everyone for their kind words and thoughts. He is survived by his wife Connie Muenzer, his children Paul, Eric and Allison, his sister Trudy and his many nieces, nephews, grandkids and friends.
