He peacefully passed away to be with his Lord on October 20, 1999, at the Ridgevalley Home, Crooked Creek, Alberta, reaching the age of eighty-four years. On November 12, 1939, he was joined in marriage to Priscilla Toews, sharing in the joys and realities of life for sixty years. Their home was blessed with eleven children, five sons and six daughters. When Dad was nine years old, he lost his mother. At the age of twelve, he made his home with the Dan Boese family, where he lived until he was twenty-four years old. This family was very special to him. Later Dad's father married Aganetha Froese, a widow with seven children. Dad loved to call this family his brothers and sisters. He was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite in February of 1932. To his vows he remained faithful until his passing. Dad took a homestead in Crooked Creek in 1936. He made his living during our growing up years operating a dairy. He was ordained to the deaconry in August of 1964. He was appreciated for his sound, practical advice. Dad served on the Northern District Mission Board for several years, helping with the Little Red and Fort Vermilion, Alberta, missions. He loved the Church and was sold on the scriptural portrayal of the truth in Christ. The plan of salvation was very important to him.
