He was called to be with the Lord on March 19, 1982, at Bethesda Hospital in Steinbach, Manitoba, reaching the age of 72 years, 7 months, and 26 days. His death was caused by congestive heart failure. He spent his childhood at Kleefeld, later living with his oldest brother, Peter, in Blumenort, due to the illness and death of his father. He also received his education in Blumenort. In his early twenties he felt the need of a Saviour, and, upon true repentance and the confession of his faith, he was baptized and became a member of the Kleine Gemeinde. Through the years, he felt a call to go deeper, and in May, 1968, he was baptized and became a member of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. He remained a faithful member to the end. On April 24, 1932, he married Katherine Penner, with whom he shared the joys and sorrows of life for almost thirty-nine years. This union was blessed with seven daughters and five sons. They moved to Mexico in 1948, where they farmed for seventeen years and then moved back to Manitoba, where Dad was again engaged in farming till Mother's death in 1971. On November 19, 1971, Dad married me, Helen Klassen of British Columbia. We lived in British Columbia for a year and then moved to Greenland, Manitoba. These ten years of sharing joys and sorrows seem short but precious. The family will always cherish Dad's love and concern for us. He often kindly admonished us and pled with us to take life seriously and make sure steps for Heaven. In the winter of 1980-81, the parents went to Mexico to visit. His health seemed somewhat improved there; however, upon their return in February, 1981, he experienced shortness of breath and chest pains. Since then, he suffered much. He was resigned to God's will and expressed his desire to be with the Lord. Friday he asked the family to come close for a prayer. He requested that the song "All the Way My Saviour Leads Me" be sung. He peacefully fell asleep that night. We are grateful that his suffering is over. Two days before his end, Mother read Isaiah 51:10-12 for evening devotions, and Dad rejoiced for the joy awaiting him. He will be sadly missed by: me, his wife Helen; seven daughters: Mary, Greenland; Bettie and Peter Kehler, Steinbach; Margareth and Peter Fehr, Hyas, Saskatchewan; Tina and Jacob Penner, Pansy, Manitoba; Martha and Lawrence Giesbrecht, Winnipeg; five sons: Albert and wife Helen, Steinbach; Nick and wife Anna, Steinbach; Henry and wife Lena, Mexico; Peter and wife Carolyn, Steinbach; Arnold and wife Elaine, Gold River, British Columbia; fifty-four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; two brothers: Isaac and Ben of Mexico; one sister, Mary, Mrs. Jacob W. Friesen of Steinbach; and a host of other relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, his first wife, one grandson, six brothers, and three sisters. Funeral services were held at Greenland Church, March 24, 1982, with the home ministers in charge. Burial was in the adjoining cemetery. _________________________________________________________ Birth: 21 Jul 1909, Kleefeld, Manitoba Death: 19 Mar 1982, Steinbach, Manitoba Burial: 24 Mar 1982, Ste.
