It is with much love and a lifetime of memories that the family of Herb Tischer, of Barrhead, Alberta announces his sudden passing on September 13, 2022, at the age of 82.  Herb was born on the family homestead of Richard Sr. & Ella Tischer in the Gardenview area on December 10, 1939.

He began his working career in the rigs, and then moved to Edmonton to work at Swift Canadian Packers where he met the love of his life, Helen (Marinoski) Tischer.  His heart was always on the farm and in 1973 they purchased a farm in the Glenreagh community, where he continued to farm until his passing.
