TELKE Ottokar “Otto” Telke passed on to his Heavenly Home on Friday, August 19, 2016, at the age of 89 years, beloved husband of Anna Telke of Medicine Hat.

Otto was born in Essen, Germany and immigrated to Canada, with his parents and newborn brother, Herfried, when he was 3 years old. The family settled in the Shackelton, Saskatchewan area where the family welcomed another brother, Erwin. Otto went off to work on the railroad and in the coal mines at the age of 16, later moving to Medicine Hat. He worked at Dominion Glass in Redcliff for 25 years then bought Andy’s Auction Mart. In those years Otto was blessed with his children: Keith, Louise, Deborah, Owen and the adoption of Brian Telke. He then moved to Brooks and opened Otto’s Furniture Village with his new family additions, wife, Anna and step-children: Brenda, Brian and Sherri Krause. After closing the store in 1989, Otto & Anna then opened Telke’s Mini Storage. Retirement brought them back to Medicine Hat and condo living until Otto’s passing.
Otto and Anna enjoyed a wonderful life of extensive world travels, a condo in Hawaii, and hosting big family Christmases. The grandchildren will cherish the tractor rides and hours spent playing their favorite card game, aptly named, ‘Grandpa’s game’.
Otto was deeply immersed in his life with the Lutheran Church and was a proud, long time member of the Lutheran Laymen’s League. He was also a long time member of Duchess Lutheran Church while living in Brooks and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church during his years in Medicine Hat. Otto loved to reminisce, and had a great memory for telling stories of the old days. He was liked by everyone who met him and he always had a kind word and a smile. He will be remembered for his love of the Lord, his life and his family.
