Herb Stickel of Medicine Hat, passed away surrounded by family on Saturday,

Rose Stickel; and in-laws, Tony and Anna Fiitterer. In his free time, Herb enjoyed

woodworking, arts and crafts with his grandchildren, playing cards, and the

companionship of his beloved pets Q and Jabba . He could often be found with a

good cup of coffee and a cigarette, while sitting on the deck, visiting with family

and friends. He always enjoyed a sweet treat to eat, especially when made by his

granddaughters. He was devoted to his family and loved being with his children,

grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Countless wonderful memories were

created over the years, and Grandpa’s elated laughter, which lit up every room,

will be forever cherished and dearly missed. Herb was passionate about his

computer consulting business, enjoyed helping others and acquired many

lifelong friendships (Pat & Heather Flinn, Greg & Monica Hopkins, Bob Riehl) and

numerous others. A special thank you to the Cancer clinic, Palliative care team,

especially Pearl, and all the wonderful staff at St. Joseph’s Hospice. In lieu of

flowers, memorial gifts in Herb’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer
