We regret to advise of the death of Sapper Reinhold “Roy” Dreger (Ret’d) at the Beausejour District Hospital in Beausejour, MB on 27 May 2000 at the age of 88 years.
Roy was born in Golden Bay, MB to Russian immigrant parents. Reinhold was a veteran of the Second World War and served across Canada in the Royal Canadian Engineers and after his discharge moved to Moosehorn, MB where he started a business as a building contractor. He was most proud of the Peace Lutheran Church in Moosehorn. In 1955, Roy moved to Steep Rock, MB where he worked for Canada Cement.
When Roy retired, he moved back to Beausejour. He was a Life Member of the Royal Canadian Legion and received the 50-Year Gold Medal from Branch #132 Beausejour.
Roy’s funeral service will be held at the Zion Lutheran Church, Beausejour, on 30 May at 2:00 PM. Interment will follow in the Zion Lutheran Cemetery. A viewing will be at the church before the service. Instead of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Zion Lutheran Church, Beausejour or to the Beausejour District Hospital. {dcJan19gd} [zsd, zpp]
