ANSPACH,
Herbert
Kephart
Born in Ada, Ohio on September 3, 1926, died in Toronto, Ontario
on November 22, 2003. Herb was a man of character who exemplified
integrity, fairness, hard work, lifelong learning, and who made
a remarkable impact on the world and people around him. He was
a business leader in the U.S. and Canada, a patriotic citizen
and supporter of the communities in which he lived, a dedicated
husband, a good-humoured friend to many, and an inspirational
father, grandfather, and father-in-law. His intelligence and
hard work earned him an Engineering Degree from University of
Wisconsin, a Law Degree from University of Michigan, many scholarships
and academic awards, and a productive career from GoodYear to
the U.S. Patent Office to Whirlpool, where he was a Patent Lawyer,
Vice-President of Personnel, subsidiary President (Inglis, Toronto),
and ultimately President of Whirlpool Corporation of St. Joseph,
Michigan. He was successful in his work, inspirational in his
coaching of all those he took under his wing, and generous with
his wisdom and counsel to many through his profession, educational
endeavours, and personal life. In his retirement years, Herb
and his wife, Elizabeth, resided in Boca Raton, Florida while
he continued to remain active in international business consulting,
investing, Pro-Am Golf Tournaments, betting on every sports play-off,
and keeping in touch with his family and Friends. Upon his illness
in 1999, he moved to Toronto, Ontario with his wife, both under
the care of their daughter, Heather Anspach
FRASER.
Here, he
spent his valuable final years with his wife Elizabeth, granddaughter
Ceilidh, and son-in-law Neil
FRASER. A special thanks to those
who have made his last years a rich and wonderful experience,
from the folks at Baycrest Hospital (particularly Dr. Morris
FREEDMAN,) the caring staff of the Bradgate Arms (guided by Stephanie
REGENT,) the incredible team at Sunnybrook who made his last
days comfortable (led by Dr. Robert
FOWLER,) and the loving caretakers
who stayed by his side until the end (Cecilia, Angie, Cora, Janet,
Anna and Asher). Herb touched many lives in many places around
the world. He leaves many who will miss him dearly but will remain
inspired by his character for the rest of their lives. Private
memorial services will be held in Toronto and in the U.S. Contributions
will be accepted for the Herbert and Elizabeth Anspach Family
Foundation, a charitable learning foundation established by their
daughter to advance education and medical research. Those wishing
to contact the family may do so through the Humphrey Funeral
Home A. W. Miles Chapel, Toronto (1-800-616-3311).
