Obituary of Emil William Baht

EMIL WILLIAM BAHT Emil passed away peacefully early on Tuesday, January 1, 2013, after having spent the previous day visiting with each of his children and other members of his family. Emil was born February 8, 1925, at Imperial, Sask. As a young man, he worked at Clarksons Garage where he met his future bride, Anne Clarkson, whom he married in 1949. While helping Anne to raise their family of seven, Emil farmed his parents land, worked at the rink, and owned the Etters Beach store. The work nearest his heart, though, was farming, from which he retired only last year. Emil was proud of his family and looked forward to the family gatherings. He really enjoyed the game of cribbage and, right up to a few hours before his passing, played each game with enthusiasm. Emil was predeceased by his parents, George-Emil and Louise; his wife, Anne (1984); four brothers; and two sisters. He is survived by his children, Robert (Faye), David (Merlane), Jeannette Anderson (Garry), Murray (Louise), Garnet (Francine), Joanne Romich (Darwin), Micheal (Myrna); his brother, William (Lucy); his brother-in-law, Lynn Clarkson (Margaret-Anne); his sisters-in law, Joy Baht and Ethel Clarkson; fifteen grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, donations in Emils memory, may be made to Chip and Dale Homes Inc., (granddaughter, Amanda Bahts special needs home) 75 Kress Street, Regina, SK, S4N 5X8. A celebration of Emils life will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, January 5, 2013 at the Imperial Community Centre in Imperial, Sask.
