WILLUMSEN,
Arnold▼
(February 7, 1936-March 6, 2008)
An intrepid traveler, Arnold set off on his final journey on
Thursday, March 6, 2008… after an heroic, brief battle with cancer.
Having just celebrated his 72nd birthday, Arnold did not go 'quietly
into that good night,' rather he fought against the cancer with
the same determination and spirit that he had applied to every
aspect of his colorful life. His beloved wife Tania and his children
were at his side at the Foothills Country Hospice in Okotoks,
Alberta. Arnold will be missed by his devoted wife Tania, daughters
Shauna (Gordon)
KOPPANG and Erin (Brian)
WILLUMSEN, son Ian (Debbie)
and granddaughters Amy and Laura, niece Susan (Dave), nephew
John (Lisa), grand-nephews Michael, Scot, Lucas and niece Nicola,
mother-in-law Anne
MURENKO
(Paul,▼) brother-in-law Igor (Peggy,)
sister-in-law Lucie (Joe) nieces and nephews Jessica, Vanessa,
Christopher and Andrew. Arnold was born on February 7, 1936 in
Calgary, Alberta. He attended Strathcona School for Boys in Calgary,
then moved to Appleby College in Oakville, Ontario where he graduated
from high school. He completed his first degree in Physical Education
in 1954 in Ollerup, Demark, where he excelled as a world class
gymnast. He returned to Canada and proceeded to the University
of Alberta in Edmonton completing a Bachelor of Civil Engineering
degree in 1958. He joined the family's general contracting firm,
Larwill Construction Company Ltd., where he began as a labourer
on commercial construction sites and worked his way up taking
over as President in 1975. After selling the firm in 1989, he
started up Willumsen Ventures Inc. specializing in forensic engineering,
namely structural failures. Early in his career in construction,
he became concerned about the welfare of employees and was instrumental
in starting the first health, welfare and pension trust funds
for the construction related industry unions in Alberta and parts
of Western Canada, along with Funds Administrative Services,
a firm providing administration of these plans to the Laborer's
of Western Canada, Electrical Workers of Alberta, Bricklayers,
Carpenters. He was an expert in arbitration and resolution of
union management issues and served on several international boards
as trustee and chair. He served as Chair of the Calgary General
Contractors Association, Canadian Board of the International
Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, The Calgary Firefighters
Supplementary Pension Plan and numerous boards of trustees over
a forty year period. In his spare time, he had a passion for
nature mountaineering, motorcycles, handball, photography and
farming. In recent years, he became a serious photographer exhibiting
and selling his landscapes. Arnold will be remembered for his
integrity, chivalry and humour. The family thanks Doctor Ian Kendal,
Family Physician, and Doctor Scot Dowden and his entire clinical
team at the Tom Baker Cancer Center in Calgary. A special thank
you goes to Doctor Eric Wasylenko, the nurses and staff of the Foothills
Country Hospice for their kindness and caring. In lieu of flowers,
donations in Arnold's memory may be made to: The Foothills Country
Hospice Society, P.O. Box 274, Okotoks, Alberta T1S 1A5 or the
