<div itemprop="description"><br>SCHEWE, Arno <br>September 20, 1950 - October 18, 2016 <br> <br>Arno was born on September 20, 1950 in Braunschweig Germany. His family immigrated to Canada when he was a toddler and settled in Ontario. He spent his youth exploring the Niagara escarpment, collecting animals and friends along the way. In his teens, they moved to Edmonton where he met Cheryl. They married in 1971 and completed their family with Matthew (1972) and Nathan (1974). Arno loved being a dad and spent the next years coaching sports and playing with his boys. At work, he travelled to the north and a love for the people and places of the NWT was born. In the 80’s, he bought land at his beloved Muriel Lake and built a cabin. He was happiest when it was filled with family and friends. Arnie’s family grew to include Heather and his beloved grandchildren, Charlotte and Noah. These kids were the icing on the cake for him and he cherished the time he was able to spend with them. He loved his job at ADCO Power and swore he’d never retire. Ever determined, Arno passed away ten minutes before the end of what would have been his retirement day. His optimism never failed, even through a year of treatments at the Cross Cancer Institute. He was determined to pursue every option and was planning trips and family events right to the end. Arno loved his family, his dogs, Basil and Maggie, his work, the cabin, gardening, hockey, fishing, lacrosse and “once in a lifetime” opportunities. He had a wicked sense of humour, a huge capacity for love and made an impact on everyone he met. He will be sadly missed.</div>
