Born in Neuenhagen near Berlin, Germany, on October 22, 1939. Pop trained as a pastry chef before his adventurous spirit took him to many countries. He settled here in Canada after meeting our Mom. Through hard work, they created a beautiful life in Ottawa filled with the love of family and friends. Predeceased by his beloved sister, Marianne Ruhmann (Bernd), he will be fondly remembered by all his family and his many friends here and in Germany.
