Dieter Bothe was born November 16, 1937, in Loetzen, East Prussia, and on October 8, 2023, passed away peacefully, with family by his side, at the Hospice House in Kelowna, BC.

Condolences

  • Gord Whyte says:

    So sorry for your loss. We remember the good old days at New Life.

  • Fay Tegg (nee Bothe) says:

    I didn’t know Dieter well but always thought of him as uncle Richard’s ‘big kid’. Thanks for sharing the service. It is evident that Dieter was a much loved and cherished husband, father, grandfather and friend. You will surely miss him but you were so fortunate to have him in your life.
