Obituary of Jurgen Johann Piening
Piening, Jurgen (John)
April 26, 1932 - January 7, 2017
He will be sadly missed by wife Irmgard, and daughter Kathy (Scott) Faris and granddaughter Charlotte Faris. John first arrived in Canada in 1956 and then returned in 1957 with wife, Irmgard. John was proud of his work in the expansion of the TransCanada highway in Northern Ontario and later moving the houses off the flood plain in the construction of the St Lawrence Seaway. He completed his career as a driver for Texaco Canada, Inc. His retirement years were spent doing his favourite hobby, motorcycling on the 'Wing with his wife, with tours across Canada and the United States. Many adventures and friends were made in their travels. His second favorite hobby was being the biggest fan of granddaughter, Charlotte and her endeavors. A private ceremony will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Ride for Dad - Ottawa Chapter, of which John was one of the first participants. Say g'night, Dad. The arrangements will be held privately for the family. Those wishing are asked to consider a memorial donation to the Prostate Cancer Fight Foundation (Ride for Dad) Ottawa Chapter.
