Remembering Philipp R. Ens
Triple E and everyone connected to the company and community, past and present, were saddened by the loss of co-founder and chairman Philipp R. Ens on May 11, 2024. https://leisurevans.com/blog/celebrat...
As a pillar of his community and a driving force behind one of Canada's premier RV manufacturers, Phil’s positive influence was felt by all who interacted with him. Although his presence will be sorely missed, we can only look back on his life’s work with enormous gratitude.
VISION, COURAGE, COMMUNITY
A pivotal moment in Phil’s life occurred in 1965, when his father-in-law, P.W. Enns, invited him to a kitchen table discussion along with his brother-in-law, Peter Elias, in Winkler, Manitoba. Little did Phil suspect that Triple E, the company the three men founded and named for their initials, would eventually celebrate sixty years as an independent RV manufacturer and be famed for the quality of its products.
As a man of faith, Phil Ens embodied the values and heritage of his Mennonite roots and transposed them to his company and local community. Phil was widely respected as a community builder and philanthropist, with longstanding participation and significant contributions to local, provincial, and national boards and organizations.
As Phil often said, “You can never be too kind or too generous.” Phil’s life was a true reflection of this.
