Erwin Ortmann

January 24, 1925 – May 2, 2014

Erwin Ortmann passed away peacefully on May 2, 2014.

He was born on January 24, 1925 in Berlin, Germany. Erwin is survived by his wife, Renate; step-daughter, Alexandra

Landers and her husband John.

He immigrated to the United State in 1961, and lived in California.

Upon discovering the beauty of the Olympic Peninsula the couple moved to Sequim where they have lived since 1992.

Erwin enjoyed sailing his 32 foot Islander around the San Juan Islands. He loved sailing so much that upon retiring from the sport he donated his beautiful sailboat to the Port Angeles YMCA sailing program.

The family would like to thank Dr. Lyndes, the wonderful staff of Sherwood Special Needs unit and the nurses at Clallam Assured Hospice for their care during his last days. We also want to thank his many friends and caregivers for their kind support over the last few years.
