Mr. Horst “Harry” Busse of Lethbridge, beloved husband of Mrs. Ilona Busse, passed away suddenly at Chinook Regional Hospital on Sunday, December 20, 2020, at the age of 82 years.

Harry enjoyed fishing, coffee with friends, a “sweet tooth” with his friends and collecting unique curios from his travels. He was a longstanding member of the International Union of Operating Engineers for over 50 years. He took pride in “running crane”, and worked on numerous oil and gas construction projects throughout AB. Before retiring at 64, Harry finished his last “gig” on the oil sands in Fort Mac, AB. In addition to this, he also worked as an independent gravel truck operator.

Sad to hear of this loss. Uncle you will be missed. Thoughts and prayers for you Aunty and your family.
I’m very saddened by the loss of Harry. He was known as the groovy uncle down south at lethbridge. Distance kept me from many conversations and laughs. I regret not having spent a lot more time visiting over the years. Rest in peace and may the fishing yield many lunkers on the other side.
We were very sorry to hear of your loss.
Knowing Harry over a span of years, we pray he’s at rest and fishing at his eternal spot.
Deepest sympathy’s to you Ilona, girls and families.
