STM Distinguished Alumnus Mourned

Henry Kloppenburg keenly valued a good education and was a long-time friend and generous supporter of St. Thomas More College (STM). He was recognized with the STM Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2003 for his significant lifetime accomplishments and continued relationship with the College. The College community was very proud of Kloppenburg's many distinguished achievements including his recognition with The Order of Canada for which some of his leadership roles and community contributions were highlighted as follows:

Henry Kloppenburg's generosity reflects his passion for his community. A lawyer by profession, he is a collector of Canadian and Native art, much of which he has donated for public display. From scholarships and art donations to the establishment of the Kloppenburg Wildlife Refuge, his contributions have enriched the educational and cultural landscape of his province. He has also provided leadership to many organizations, including the University of Saskatchewan's Biomedical Ethics Committee, the Kidney Foundation of Canada (Saskatchewan), the Mendel Art Gallery and the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra.

At STM, however, Henry will be most remembered for his gregarious presence at College events, his participation on STM Corporation, and, as a result of his participation on the STM 75^th Anniversary Planning Committee, designing what has become affectionately known as the Kloppenburg tie.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be Celebrated at St Paul's Co-Cathedral Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 19, 2022. Interment to follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens, Saskatoon. Condolences may be left for the family at www.saskatoonfuneralhome.com
