STEINBACH, Klaus - May 13, 1933 - May 3, 2021
Klaus Steinbach, a perennial dreamer, and a man genuinely interested in the lives of others, passed away on May 3, 2021, suddenly at 87, just 10 days shy of his 88th birthday.
Klaus was born on May 13, 1933, to Heinz and Frieda Steinbach, in Berlin, Germany.
Twenty-one years later, in 1954, the adventurous Klaus flew off to Toronto, Canada, where, in 1958 he would meet a young 20-year-old girl named Gerlind "Gerri" Flitner, on a blind date in High Park.
The two hit it off, and soon their son Steven was born, followed 5 years later by daughter Kym, and again 5 years later by another daughter, Jennifer.
