In Loving Memory of Franz John Marschall...

Born: April 1, 1926 in Greifenstein, Austria

Passed: July 13, 2015 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Obituary:

Franz John Marschall departed this life peacefully, with family by his side, at the Montfort Hospital in Ottawa, at the age of 89.

Franz’s parents were Therese Hechinger and Alexander Marschall. He grew up on a farm in Himberg, Lower Austria, and studied at a local agricultural school before coming to Canada in 1954. In the early years, he worked as a gardener in the Ottawa area. In 1974, he obtained a BA from Carleton University. Former students will remember him as a horticultural instructor at Algonquin College, Ottawa, and former clients for his landscaping business, Down to Earth. He enjoyed such outdoor activities as swimming, cycling, and skiing. Other favourite pastimes included good books, good conversation, scrabble, listening to music and CBC Radio, following his teams, the Senators and the Blue Jays. Franz maintained strong ties with his family and friends, and never forgot a birthday. We will all miss his ready wit and Austrian charm, and of course his goulash.

In 2014, Franz was predeceased by his ex-wife, Barbara Pitre Tanner, in Yarmouth, NS. He leaves behind a son Walter Krautsieder (Monika), of Gross-Enzersdorf, Austria; daughters Christine Mayer of Ottawa and Diane Ferrier of Picton; two grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and a nephew in Austria; another nephew in Australia. He was especially fond of his granddaughter in Ottawa, Erica Ashfield. Franz will live on in the heart of his “Sweetie,” Lynda Muir, and in the garden that he lovingly created for her.

Angel was born in June 17, 1954 in Guatemala to Rafael Paniagua Betancourt and Angela de Paniagua Garcia. From Guatemala he moved to Los Angeles, but ultimately located in Ottawa, Ontario in 1987. Angel was a devoted father, grandfather and husband, dedicated to spending time with his family until he passed. Angel’s passion in life was spending time with his family, loved ones and friends. When he was younger, he enjoyed the outdoors, always taking his friends and family camping or taking his family on road trips all across Canada. He enjoyed his trips to Algonquin Park and the Rideau River, where he spent hours fishing.  Later in his life, he enjoyed a quieter life, preferring instead to take in a movie with his children or to cook chicharon for his family. He was a reliable family man, always offering to help his family, from building decks to babysitting the dogs.

A funeral is scheduled for June 20^th, 2015 at 11am with a reception to follow at 1pm. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Angel’s life.

Quisiera que el beso fuera como ave, que volara sobre el mar o cerros distantes. que volara por ciudades para llegar donde estuvieras, que ese beso pudiera acariciar tu frente o quedarse en tu mejilla un instante.
