1 NOTE PHILIPP KAPLUN
2 CONT
2 CONT Peacefully, on February 17, 2017, Philipp Kaplun was called into the
2 CONT eternal presence of his beloved Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ at the age
2 CONT of 81 years.
2 CONT
2 CONT He was predeceased by his wife, Holdine Kaplun, his father, Theodore
2 CONT Kaplun, his mother Alwine Kaplun, his sister Klara (Hans) Grams, and his
2 CONT brother Robert Kaplun. He is survived by his daughters Ingrid (Greg)
2 CONT Vaughan of Victoria, BC, Monica Kaplun of Winnipeg, Marlene (Norman) Piel
2 CONT of Winnipeg, granddaughters Bethany Kanhoffen of North Vancouver, BC and
2 CONT Kelsey Kanhoffen of Victoria, BC, his sister, Taisa (Walter) Koberstein
2 CONT of Winnipeg, brothers Adolf (Olga) Kaplun of Kelowna, BC and Felix
2 CONT (Galina) Kaplun of Palm Harbor Florida, brother-in-law Art (Irma)
2 CONT Koberstein of Winnipeg, and sister-in-law Erika (Wally) Kelbert of Port
2 CONT Alberni, BC, along with numerous nieces and nephews and countless
2 CONT friends.
2 CONT
2 CONT Philipp was born in Cholnicha, Poland on December 25, 1935. In 1940 the
2 CONT family was resettled to western Poland, which became part of the German
2 CONT Reichsgaue of Warthegau. He attended elementary school until 1945 when
2 CONT the family fled to Dresden, East Germany during the Second World War. The
2 CONT Kaplun family worked on a greenhouse nursery farm for one year. In 1946,
2 CONT Russian authorities interrogated the entire family. Fearing arrest, they
2 CONT fled to Hanover, West Germany.
2 CONT
2 CONT Over the next two years the Kaplun’s communicated with family in Canada.
2 CONT In 1948, they were immigrated to Canada under a family-sponsored
2 CONT immigration program, and settled in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
2 CONT
2 CONT Philipp attended school in Winnipeg and also worked as a telegram
2 CONT delivery boy at the age of 14, and later worked in a sewing factory for 7
2 CONT years as a fabric cutter.
2 CONT
2 CONT As the son of a minister, Philipp grew up in the Christian faith and in
2 CONT 1951, he was baptized and became a member of German Baptist Mission
2 CONT Church.
2 CONT
2 CONT As a young man, he met a Christian woman, Holdine Koberstein. He had eyes
2 CONT only for her and after his persistent pursuit and courtship, they were
2 CONT married on June 28,1958. Holdine was the unequivocal love of his life.
2 CONT His devotion to her continued throughout their 50+ years of marriage and
2 CONT through many trying years while she struggled with Alzheimer's Disease,
2 CONT which eventually took her life on October 27, 2014.
2 CONT
2 CONT During their marriage, they had three daughters. Ingrid (1959), Monica,
2 CONT (1961), and Marlene (1964). Granddaughters were added to their lives in
2 CONT 1985 (Bethany Lynn) and 1988 (Kelsey Elise).
2 CONT
2 CONT In 1959, Philipp joined Etna Heating, as a Furnace Installation
2 CONT Coordinator. In 1973 along with 2 other partners, they started Etna
2 CONT Heating 1973 Limited.
2 CONT
2 CONT In 1983, Philipp started his own company - Acme Windows - selling and
2 CONT installing windows and doors until he took on a position as Property
2 CONT Manager with Group II Investments, where he worked until his retirement
2 CONT in 2002.
2 CONT
2 CONT Throughout his life, Philipp was devoted to his church and served in
2 CONT leadership capacities for almost 50 years. He loved to travel and enjoyed
2 CONT taking Holdine on cruises, holidaying in warm destinations, family
2 CONT vacations in Kelowna, BC and at Falcon Lake, Manitoba and attending North
2 CONT American Baptist Conference Triennial Conferences around Canada and the
2 CONT US. Philipp also loved “the finer things in life” and enjoyed sharing
2 CONT meals in fine restaurants, cocktails and music at restaurants and
2 CONT lounges, attending the symphony, good wine and great coffee. He had a
2 CONT generous heart and loved giving gifts to those he loved, especially
2 CONT Holdine, who regularly received flowers, perfume and jewelry from her
2 CONT “schuzzel”. In his later years, when Holdine was no longer able to cook,
2 CONT Philipp took up the mantle and in his 60s, learned how to cook. He loved
2 CONT it immediately and was always proud to share newfound recipes with other
2 CONT like-mind chefs. He particularly enjoyed making “big breakfasts” on
2 CONT Saturday mornings. Music was also a deep passion and his substantial
2 CONT album and CD collection are a testament to the wide range of music he
2 CONT enjoyed. In addition, he served as the choir director at Mission Baptist
2 CONT Church for almost 30 years, where he shared his love of music with
2 CONT several generations of singers. Philipp had a big heart and their home
2 CONT was always open to friends and family. He and Holdine demonstrated a
2 CONT particular love for young families new to the country, with whom they
2 CONT took parental and spiritual mentorship roles.
2 CONT
2 CONT In December, 2010, Philipp was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Over the
2 CONT next few years he underwent chemotherapy, radiation and other treatments
2 CONT and fought valiantly to extend his life. His determination gave his
2 CONT family four years longer than the doctors’ original prognosis. As the
2 CONT disease progressed it weakened his strength and reduced his mobility and
2 CONT in August of 2015, he was admitted to Meadowood Manor Personal Care Home,
2 CONT where he remained until his death.
2 CONT
2 CONT While he will be deeply missed by his friends and family, we are
2 CONT comforted in the knowledge that he is pain free and that we will see him
2 CONT again.
2 CONT
2 CONT The family extends their gratitude to the staff at Meadowood Manor, who
2 CONT provided excellent care, comfort and pain relief during his last days,
2 CONT and were supportive to the family.
2 CONT
2 CONT The funeral service will be held on Friday March 3, 2017 at 11:00 am at
2 CONT Mission Baptist Church, 777 Sargent Avenue. Interment in Brookside
2 CONT Cemetery
