Earl Wesley Demmerling
After a brief illness and surrounded by his wife Pat and his five children, Demmy passed away on Wednesday, Aug. 25, 2010.
He was the loving husband of Pat (Rundle), and a devoted father to Barb and Maurice Wilson, Terry and Joseph Lamantia, Dorothy Winchester and Ross MacIntosh, Sandi and Bob Fenlon, and Ted Demmerling and Kelly Olivier. He will always be remembered by his grandchildren Avery, Amy, Nicole, Ashley, Erin, Colin, Wesley, and Hannah, and by his extended family Lyndsey, Rachelle, Lindsey, and Shelby.
Demmy was a brother-in-law of John and Kay Rundle, Paddy and Dorothy Rundle, and Bob and Velma Rundle, and was also loved by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his sister Elsie Bowman and brother Milton Demmerling.
Demmy worked for LTL for 35 years. He was a member of the Listowel Pipe Band for more than 35 years, the Listowel Legion for more than 52 years, the Listowel Curling Club, Barbershop Quartet, and the Listowel Volunteer Fire Department where he went through the ranks to Fire Chief.
He was a faithful member of Christ Anglican Church in Listowel where he sang in the choir, and a member of the NCO. He spent every summer at the family cottage on the shores of Lake Huron. Demmy’s love of animals, especially his dog Mandy, was known by all.
