Happy 5th Birthday Mads

Morfar's Bench

We are sponsoring a bench in Morfar's name in the neighbourhood where he lived.

There is a mountain view, river view, and Canada Olympic Park.

Mormor and Morfar have walked this path many times. In the summer you can also pick saskatoon berries in those bushes.

Bobs asked Mormor what is this that you are working on?

Tom Ziegler 1945-2015 Our beloved husband and father, Dr. Tom Ziegler, born in Copenhagen, Denmark passed away unexpectedly in Bonn, Germany on tuesday, March 24, 2015 at the age of 69. 

Tom completed his M.Sc. in Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen in 1972 where he met his wife Vita (Liv) Pedersen and asked her to join him on his next adventure in Calgary, Alberta. Here he completed his PhD in Inorganic/Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Calgary in 1978 and was a professor in the Department of Chemistry since 1981. Tom received many awards, and some include the Alcan Lecture Award, Canada Council Killam Professor, Steacie Award, Royal Society of Canada, Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, Canada Research Chair, and the Schrodinger Medal. He attended and was a speaker at numerous conferences over the years. His passion for research was recognized by his international colleagues and former graduate students. Tom relaxed by enjoying history books and watching films. He and Liv travelled several times a year together and for the past 4 years, Tom had been working 3 months each spring in Germany as part of the Senior Humbolt Research Scholarship. 

Tom is survived by his wife Liv Pedersen, son Helge Ziegler, daughter Signe (Jamie) Spence and grandchildren Erik and Mattias, whom he cherished very much. He is also survived by his older brother Flemming Ziegler and wife Lis in Denmark. 

A celebration of life will be held at a future date.

Happy Easter

Mads and his speech foundation had a field trip to a Pet shop.

They got to touch a snake, a guinea pig, a tortoise and an iguana.

We had an egg hunt yesterday at the Marsden's.

In the afternoon, uncle Noah came for a visit on his way through the city.
