August 1, 1943 – February 18, 2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Baldur Sveinn Holm at the age of 81 on February 18, 2025.
Baldur was born on August 1, 1943 in Gimli, MB to Dori and Margaret Holm spending his early years in Lac du Bonnet. He had fond memories growing up there where he ran an insurance firm, curled and played/coached/managed baseball. He was a volunteer fireman and was the town mayor for 4 years.
Throughout the years, Baldur worked at various insurance brokers and was a bus driver for Winnipeg Transit for approximately 15 years while running his own business (HubCap Man). He also drove a school bus for Prairie Rose School Division and Red River Valley School Division.
His favorite pastime was sitting on his recliner watching hockey (GO JETS GO), baseball, wrestling, and the History channel. That is where he took his last breath.
He will be lovingly remembered by Anne Fossay and her family, who Baldur loved dearly, and his brother Allan and wife Beatrice.
In accordance with Baldur’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a family internment will occur at a later date.
