October 1, 2025My Condolences Judy. Theo was a funny stubborn yet sturdy man. His love for his family was unquestioning and strong.
October 3, 2025Theo, what a lovely soul you were to my mother helping her out with her garden regularly and putting up with my father in the process. Tewierik’s have been known to our family since we moved to Churchill in 1984 particularly through my brothers at Lumen Christi with Michael and Myself at CRC with Corrine and Leonie. Mum of course with the church and Lumen Christi knew everyone and in particular those with giving and caring natures. I got to know Theo with my infrequent visits back to Australia or regular FaceTimes with mum and dad and could see how much Theo did for them. What an incredible commitment he made of his time, knowledge and care. A man of clear principles and awareness of morals his soul shone like a beacon.
requiescat in pace Theo.
