Heinz Kottke
March 1938 – January 2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Heinz on January 3, 2025 after a valiant battle with cancer.
Heinz was known for his passion for cars, especially vintage North American muscle cars. His vast knowledge of these cars right down to minute details was remarkable. He enjoyed going to car shows and never passed up an opportunity to discuss cars.
Heinz was also an enthusiastic ham radio operator with call signs VE6 HNZ and VE6JQ. He spent many hours at this hobby talking to contacts all over the world. He was also an avid bird watcher and loved nature.
But above all, Heinz cherished his family. Left to mourn his loss is his loving wife of 50 years, Audrey, his beloved daughter Tara, sister Helga, nieces and nephews , relatives, extended family and numerous friends.
Audrey and Tara I’m so very sorry for your loss. Just know that he is not suffering anymore.
God bless you both.

Audrey and Tara and Family. So sad to hear another ETS family member has passed. Heinz always had a good story to tell, usually about cars and the old A & W on Calgary Trail. I recall a time when we lived on 40th ave. Petrolia, Heinz came to my rescue when i was painting my moms car and was having issues. He was certainly a great professional painter and i am sure there are still many busses running around Edmonton that Heinz spray painted. He will be missed by all.
Audrey & Tara. Robin & I were saddened to read of Heinz’s passing. The neighborhood will remember him walking & biking around Royal Gardens, working on cars, talking on his ham radio & chatting with neighbours. He will be missed.
