The Insurance Brokers Association of Canada has announced its chariman, Dale Rempel, has passed away. The organization released this statement:

“It is with great sadness that the Insurance Brokers Association of Canada announces the passing of its Chairman, Mr. Dale Rempel.

Dale was the owner of Rempel Insurance Brokers in Morris, Man. and a lifelong resident of Morris. He is survived by his wife Lynn, children Brent and Leanne, and daughter-in-law Becca.

Dale was diagnosed four years ago with a brain tumor, which he has battled courageously since then.

Dale is also survived by the larger insurance brokerage community across Canada. He has devoted many years to the Insurance Brokers Association of Manitoba as well as the national association. His contributions to the profession over the past decade are something that all of us can be grateful for and proud of.

Throughout his life, he has selflessly given to family, friends, and his colleagues in the industry; both prior to diagnosis and subsequently. His passing is indeed a very sad loss to our profession.

 There will be a Tribute Evening to honour Dale’s life at the Southern Manitoba Convention Centre, Morris, Man. on Thursday, Oct. 11, at 7:00pm.

A Celebration of Life, (Funeral service) will be held at the same venue on Friday, Oct 12, at 2:00pm with burial to follow at Morris Cemetery. (morrisfuneralhome.ca for details)”
