It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Milbert Knodel on Saturday, March 23, 2019, at the age of 88 years, beloved husband of Lillian Knodel of Medicine Hat. Born on October 25, 1930 in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, he lived with his parents, August and Carolina Knodel in the Schuler area, until they moved to Medicine Hat. Milbert took up electronics and built his own television that he used for the next 15 years. He met Lillian Dirk and they were married on February 22, 1952. After working several jobs, he decided to try his hand at auto body repair, working at this for the next 30 years. In March of 1962, they moved to Lethbridge and back to Medicine Hat in 1967. Together they had three sons, Duane, Daryl and Dana. Milbert was a Cub Leader for five years in Lethbridge and a member of the Eagles Lodge for 18 years. He loved curling, bowling, fishing and camping, and in later years enjoyed card games. He was predeceased by his son Duane; his parents August and Carolina Knodel, one brother and three sisters. He is survived by his sons, Daryl and Dana (Cynette) Knodel; two granddaughters, Tara (Dan) Blum of Calgary and Alysha (Allen) Lillyman of Vancouver Island; two great grandsons, Zachary Blum and Athen Lillyman; one sister Hertha Lehman, one brother Herold Knodel and one sister-in-law, Bev Dirk.
