Manfred HENNINGER

HENNINGER, Manfred - Peacefully at home age 65, February 17th, 2005. Beloved husband of Diana Fuller, completely engaged and proud father of their three children Conrad, Astrid, and Annegret. Manfred was born in wartime, at Vaihengen-Enz West Germany, to Otto and Marta, brother of Ursula, husband Max Diranko; Gisela, husband Heinz Hemmerle; and Richard, wife Daisy; He came to Canada forty years ago and soon established a highly successful business in Sudbury, Henninger's Diesel, which involved him with the mining community world-wide, developing new markets in Central and South America. With Diana, he was passionately involved with his family and community. He heli-skied with his son in Sweden, and laser sailed on his beloved Lake Ramsey with his daughters. Together with his family, he was central to every Sudbury Loppet. He waxed skis, sponsored events and was the biggest fan and fiercest competitor. Manfred was singular in his vitality and generosity. His sense of adventure had him ice-boating and competing across the world's seas at Masters' Laser Championships. This was balanced by his intellectual curiosity. He was a voracious reader who relentlessly informed himself about the world and ideas. Manfred became a proud Canadian who ensured that his family developed their own European roots. He lived his belief: To whom much is given, much is expected. Resting at the JACKSON AND BARNARD FUNERAL HOME, 233 Larch St., Sudbury. Funeral Service in the R.J. Barnard Chapel, Monday, February 21st, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. Cremation at the Park Lawn Crematorium. In lieu of flowers donations to the ALS Society would be appreciated.
