Obituary for Bruno Mitzner
“The Morning After”
Just how do I go on without you? Impossible without God. He made you Bruno; you belong to him. For your life has not ended-your life has changed from physical with us to spiritual with God. Yesterday I prayed as Layni sang you so quietly into heaven. With Jesus waiting for you, was your father, Alfred Mitzner; your mother, Ida (Wendland) Mitzner; our very special Janice Margaret-Ann Lyon; in-laws, Bennie Parasynchuk, Margaret (Stappler) Parasynchuk. You are survived by two brothers, Armin (Gerlinda) Mitzner and Harry (Janet) Mitzner; three stepsons, Rick, Elvis, and Mike Lyon; four grandchildren, Dawn, Dalayni, Paris, and Bransyn Lyon (You were adored by them). I, Leona Parasynchuk Mitzner, had the privilege to be your wife for 25 years. Also surviving is one brother-in-law, Richard (Teresa) Parasynchuk. A special thank you to brother, Armin Mitzner, for all of the time and care you gave to Bruno. He loved your visits. I hope I’m telling this next part correctly as Bruno told me. Bruno was born near Lodz, Poland on October 20, 1940, to parents, Ida and Alfred Mitzner. Ida looked after the family as Alfred and two brothers were in a concentration camp. Alfred and one brother made it home alive. Everything they owned was taken away including citizenship. They were given one room in the house to live in. A few years later, the family spent two weeks held on a train at the West German border. Armed soldiers took Bruno’s dad every morning. Finally, they were let into West Germany. In 1954, they decided to come to Canada. They landed in Quebec and travelled the great expanse of the Canadian prairie to Redcliff, Alberta. “What have we done?” But they worked hard and built a beautiful home. An opportunity came to purchase Sunalta Green Houses next to the Medalta Potteries, so they moved to Medicine Hat. Bruno became a journeymen carpenter. Later he became owner and operator of Sunalta. On December 31, 1995, he met Leona Parasynchuk and they married October 12, 1996. A true love match…Bruno, you fill my heart forever! They raised two grandchildren from babies to adults, they filled Bruno’s life. A private family graveside has taken place. A recording of the graveside can be found on www.saamis.com by going to the obituary page and selecting Bruno’s photo, then selecting the livestream/photos page and selecting “watch webcast”. Condolences may be sent through www.saamis.com or to condolences@saamis.com subject heading Bruno Mitzner. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts in Bruno’s memory can be made to the children’s or pet charity of your choosing.
