RUDOLPH, Heinz Juergen
April 1, 1940 — March 26, 2021
The family of Heinz Juergen Rudolph of Kelowna, BC is saddened to announce his sudden passing on Friday, March 26, 2021 at the age of 80 years. Heinz is survived by his son Robert (Donna), granddaughter Brianne Farrell (Zach), former wife Betty, and numerous relatives and friends.

Born in Posen, Germany Heinz immigrated with his family to Canada in 1952. There, he spent the majority of his 35-year-long career working for Canada Post.
Heinz had many interests. He loved spending time in his yard where he learned to grow fruit trees; he was a member and former president of the German Canadian Harmonie Club; and he enjoyed dancing, golfing, cycling, playing cards, and his morning coffee with friends.
Family would like to thank Andy, Betty, and Heinz’s neighbours for all their assistance. Heinz will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and beloved cat.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions and at Heinz’s request there will be no service.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I had the pleasure of knowing Heinz since 1982 and we had many interactions through working at the Post Office and through the Association of Postal Officials of Canada. Always enjoyed those interactions and any time we spent together, no matter how brief even if we sometimes shared different perspectives. Heinz will be greatly missed, and fondly remembered
