Mourning his passing is his loving wife Anne of 53 years, sons Harold and Ingrid, James and Emily, and Paul and Kathy. Two daughters Marion and James Braun, Eleanor and Abe Remple, sixteen grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Four sisters: Elma Jensen, Catherine and Henry Reimer, Susan and Harry Neufeld, Anne and Marvin Schlegel and one brother Jake and Vi and one sister-in-law Anna Hiebert and a step-mother Helen Schellenberg. He was predeceased by his mother in 1934 and his father in 1959, two brothers, David in 1950 and Martin in 1969 and two sisters Mary Bertha in 1924 and Mary Ruth in 1932. Abe was born in Plum Coulee and moved to Homewood, Manitoba at the age of eleven. Because of sickness in the family he had to leave school at an early age. Many hours were spent working on his parents farm, tending horses and working on the fields. In the spring of 1941 Dad was baptized on the confession of his faith at the Homewood Mennonite Church. Then in June of the same year he married Anne Friesen of Starbuck. Three weeks after their first son was born, Dad had to leave for Conscientious Objectors Camp in Banff, Alberta, for 10 months. This left mother alone, caring for an infant son by herself, till she moved to Banff to be near Dad. Here she could at least see him on week-ends. At his return he still had three months of service left, before he could begin farming with his brother Martin. While farming provided them with a living he always turned to his love for inventing. He was always looking for ways of improving farming methods as well as the machinery he was using. Some of his inventions include the hydraulic harrow draw bar which he had patented; the snow plane; a sprayer built from an old car with airplane tires which helped them to drive on wet fields. He provided mechanical work for all his neighbours, often neglecting his own needs in order to help others. To his great disappointment, due to back problems and other health problems in the family he decided to leave farming temporarily and move to Steinbach. After several years he relluctantly sold the farm and remained in town permanently. He also enjoyed many hobbies. His deep love for music brought him close to many nieces and nephews. He always encouraged his friends, family and grandchildren to develop a love for music. By his example he shared his skills as well as his instruments with them. His grandchildren received instruments as gifts in order to develop their own talents. During his retirement he cultivated many new friends. He was actively involved at the bowling alley, New Horizon's Club, developed a keen interest in natural nutrition and bread baking, and played pool with his many friends. He also had many part-time jobs such as helping at Gulf Super Service, at Zelcers Denture Clinic and Barkman Concrete. Dad has provided us with many happy memories that we will always cherish. We love you, Dad, and will always miss you. The Family
