Magnus GUNTHER

GUNTHER, Magnus On Tuesday, March 7th, 2006 after a brief illness. Beloved husband of Jan de Crespigny, loving father of David, Kathy, Julian and Harriet; grandfather of Roy, Lola and Mikela. Magnus was a man of books, a hero to his friends, and a great companion. He will be missed by loving friends in many parts of the world. Magnus was driven by his belief in social justice, his hope for the future, and his implacable hatred of apartheid and racism during his years in South Africa and after. Born in Munich in 1934, raised in Johannesburg; Magnus spent most of his life in Canada. Friends may visit at the Central Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry 315 McLeod Street on Saturday, March 11th from 2pm until service time in the Chapel at 4pm.
