Leo Edward Ollerich
August 14, 1953 – March 31, 2019

Leo went home to be with Jesus on March 31, 2019. He was born August 14, 1953 to John and Florine (nee Meidl) Ollerich at Humboldt, SK and attended Veronika Country School, and Muenster School. In 1968, Leo went to work on an assembly line, painting at Bel-Par in Surrey, BC. In the spring of 1972, he returned home to farm with his dad and help with the Ollerich Septic Service business. On July 20, 1974, Leo married the special girl he had his eye on since grade one. Aggie (Bernhard) was the joy and love of his life. Together they have three children, five grandchildren and one great-grandson. Leo enjoyed skidooing, fishing and had a real knack for fixing the machinery on the farm. He also enjoyed fabricating various tools and devices to assist on the farm. He had a very strong work ethic, which was shared and learned by everyone working at the farm and Ollerich Septic Service. He was very excited and proud when his son Kyle followed in the Ollerich footsteps and got his pilot’s license in 2012. Upon retiring he thoroughly enjoyed driving along the countryside checking the fields and cattle. The grandchildren loved to hear all of grandpa’s stories, which they found most interesting and humourous. Faith was very important to Leo and he made sure his family prayed and trusted God for everything. He was very devoted and dedicated to his wife and family, who were his most cherished and loved treasures of his life. Leo will always and forever be loved and remembered by his devoted wife of 44 years, Aggie (nee Bernhard) Ollerich of Humboldt, SK; 3 children: daughter Karen (David) Poppel and children Kimberly and Deklen of Saskatoon, SK; son Kevin (special friend Kailey) and children Chloe and her son Rhett, Corbin and Clayton all of Humboldt, SK; son Kyle of Humboldt, SK; sister Linda (Jim) Ferguson of Melville, SK; brother Edward (Ellen Stomp) Ollerich of Grandora, SK; father-in-law George Bernhard; and many brothers-and-sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. Leo was predeceased by his parents John and Florine (nee Meidl) Ollerich; mother-in-law Hildegard (Lauer) Bernhard; and grandson Dustin Poppel (in infancy).
