<div itemprop="description">Fred J. Sejbjerg <br>February 22, 1931 – December 5, 2016 <br> <br>It is with sorrow that we announce the passing of Fred Sejbjerg, our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather on December 5, 2016. <br> <br>Born in Fort Qu’Appelle, SK, Fred was the eldest of Thorvald and Ingeborg Sejbjerg’s four children. Fred, Svend, Harry and Charlotte grew up on the family’s dairy farm until the untimely death of their father; shortly after they moved into town. Fred and his siblings inspired many stories about their childhood adventures. <br> <br>Fred joined the Canadian Air Force in 1948, serving as a flight engineer and aero-engine technician; retiring in 1977. Fred met his wife, Minnie (Wilhelmina) Tesch while stationed in Saskatoon. Two of their daughters, Kathryn and Elaine, were born there. Transferred to CFB Trenton, their youngest daughter, Ann, was born in Belleville, ON. Their next transfer was to CFB Cold Lake, AB (and closer to Minnie’s family). Many weekends and summers were spent with Minnie’s family in the Mervin/Turtleford district, and at Turtle Lake. <br> <br>Retiring to Saskatoon, Fred worked for the Saskatoon Public School Board as a caretaker for 19 years, culminating in being the first head caretaker of Marion Graham Collegiate. He took great pride in taking care of “his school.” <br> <br>Fred is survived by his wife of 58 years, Minnie; daughters, Kathryn (Glenn) Runnalls, Elaine (Jack) Garrett, and Ann. Grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Logan (Rachel), Nevin & Nora Runnalls; Corey (Elly) Runnalls; Jeremy Runnalls; Christine (Denny) McEwen; Nicole (Don) & Peter Holmes; Kathleen (Matt) & William Romphf; and step-grandchild Erin (Craig), Quinn, Emmy & Max Dover. He is also survived by his brothers Svend and Harry (Audrey), brother-in-law Walter Tesch, sister-in-law Chris Tesch; and numerous nieces and nephews. <br> <br>Fred was predeceased by his parents; his sister, Charlotte; sister-in-law Lois Sejbjerg; parents-in-law, Adam & Elfrieda Tesch; brothers-in-law Oscar (Margaret) and Dick Tesch. <br> <br>Fred was a quiet, loving man who put his family first. He did not like to be the center of attention, preferring to be the support person at home or work. He will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him. <br> <br>The family wish to thank the caring doctors, nurses and staff at St. Paul’s Hospital, Luther Special Care Home, and Royal University Hospital Emergency. <br> <br>The Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 p.m, Friday, December 9, 2016, at Park Funeral Home, 311 3rd Ave. N, Saskatoon, SK. <br> <br>Memorial donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon Chapter, 1405 Faulkner Crescent, Saskatoon, SK S7L 3R5 or the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan, 1738 Quebec Avenue, Unit 26, Saskatoon, SK S7K 1V9. <br> <br>To share memories and condolences, visit www.parkfuneral.ca “Obituaries-Contribution”.
