Arnold M. Ludwick

Born in Winnipeg, Arnie lived a life filled with love, adventure, and purpose. Devoted husband of Erna Ludwick for sixty-two years. Together, they built a life rich in love and family, raising their three children, Heidi, Sheryl (Mitchell Stotland), and Louis (Erika Flores). His greatest joy was his family, and he cherished every moment with his grandchildren: Tyler (Aaron), Mikaela (Luca), Griffin, Julian, Jackson, Harper, and Mylie; and Lobo and Kiva. Beloved brother of Lois (David Wolch). Predeceased by his parents, Rube and Gert Ludwick. Arnie will be missed by his family, friends, and all those who knew him.

Arnie’s remarkable career spanned decades of dedication and excellence. His work was not just a job—it was a testament to his passion, intellect, and unwavering commitment to making a difference through many different philanthropic endeavours. Yet, for all his professional achievements, his heart was always with his family. They were his proudest accomplishment, his deepest love, and his greatest legacy.

A true citizen of the world, Arnie was a passionate traveler, embracing new cultures, experiences, and perspectives with open arms. He found beauty in the smallest moments—watching birds in quiet admiration, taking in breathtaking sunsets, and celebrating the gift of life with those he loved. His warmth, wisdom, and boundless curiosity touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Arnie’s legacy of love, kindness, and adventure will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. He will be deeply missed. 

Deep gratitude to the Jewish General Hospital Palliative Care Unit, Soins Virtuelles nurses, and the incredible Dr. Chang and Dr. Shamy, whose dedication and compassion is unparalleled.
