Anne, Manitoba. He departed this life, after a very brief illness, in Grande Prairie Hospital, Grande Prairie, Alberta, on June 18, 1982, reaching the age of 79 years and 10 months. In his youth, he felt his need of salvation, and upon repentance and confession of his sins, he was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. His life was not without trials and struggles, which strengthened his faith in God and helped him testify for the Lord. He had a very real concern regarding the salvation of his own soul and that of his children and their families. We are assured of by his testimonies that he was prepared to go to his heavenly home. During his lifetime, Dad won many friends with his cheery disposition and ready smile. He had a keen memory and was always ready to visit. His presence in Ridgevalley Home will be missed by all. He found his first companion in Margaret F. Thiessen. They were married on December 2, 1934, at Linden, Alberta. Their home was blessed with three daughters: Theresa, Helen, and Margaret. His first wife passed away on May 2, 1942. On August 20, 1944, he found his second helpmeet in Anna Esau Isaac, a widow with ten children. His first years with a young family were spent in the Greenland area. Soon after his second marriage, he, with his family, moved to Crooked Creek, Alberta. His second companion passed away on July 22, 1978, leaving him lonely in his remaining years. Dad was the last member of his immediate family, the rest of his brothers and sisters having passed on before. Also predeceasing him were: his first wife, his second wife, one son-in-law, one stepson, one infant granddaughter, and several great-grandchildren. He leaves to mourn: twelve children: Theresa Lavina Godfrey, Calgary, Alberta; Helen and Peter T. Isaac, Rosenort, Manitoba; Margaret and Doug Kerr, Oyama, British Columbia; Simon and Susie Isaac, Steinbach, Manitoba; Philip and Alda Isaac, Crooked Creek, Alberta; Henry and Margaret Isaac, Swanson, Saskatchewan; Helen and Peter Friesen, Edmonton, Alberta; Katherine and Ed Carpenter, Aldergrove, British Columbia; John and Mary Isaac, Fort Vermilion, Alberta; David and Eleanor Isaac, Edmonton, Alberta; Mary and Bill Reimer, Falkland, British Columbia; Peter and Florence Isaac, Crooked Creek, Alberta; two daughters-in-law: Anna, Mrs. George Isaac, Heart Valley, Alberta; and Ruth Isaac, Edmonton, Alberta; 67 grandchildren; and 129 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held June 23 at the Rosedale Mennonite Church at Crooked Creek. Burial was made in the local Rosedale Cemetery.
