Read More	Edward Boese was born to Solomon and Margaret Reimer Boese on November 20, 1924. He departed peacefully, with family by his side, in St. Mary's Hospital, Camrose, Alberta, on April 7, 2014, at the age of eighty-nine years. Dad gave his heart to the Lord as a teenager and was baptized, becoming a member of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. Dad had a deep appreciation and understanding of the grace and mercy of God throughout his life. During World War II, Dad was granted conscientious objector status and served in the lumber camp at Seebe, Alberta. He was married to Margaret Megli on November 2, 1947, and nine children were born to this union. They started farming in the Kneehill district at Linden, Alberta. Dad's election to the ministry in 1951 caught him by surprise. Along with the blessings of commitment comes sacrifice. Acceptance of life's circumstances and responsibilities was just the beginning of the life of example he lived. After buying a farm and moving to Edberg, Alberta, in 1959, he enjoyed the challenges of a young congregation. There were some hard times in farming those first few years, but Dad accepted the challenges and enjoyed the new location. He loved and appreciated the people in the community, children playing on the streets in the town, and everyone he met. Dad loved to spend time working, playing, and picking berries with us. Devotions with the family was a daily priority. His genuine love behooved the rest of us to follow his example. Until his dying day, he encouraged us to keep a lively hope. Each grandchild became a personal friend to Dad. He would often ask what they were doing, giving advice when necessary. He rejoiced when they chose to serve the Lord. Dad and Mom built a retirement home in 1993 and moved into Edberg. After forty-eight happy years of marriage, our mother passed away June 11, 1996, leaving him very lonely. On October 24, 1997, he was joined in marriage to Ruth Reimer. They shared fourteen happy years together, taking pleasure in times spent with their extended families and their congregations. Mother Ruth passed away May 10, 2012, again leaving him lonely. Nearing the end of his days, Dad moved back to the very spot where he was born. West View gave him a room overlooking the farm where he grew up, and Dad enjoyed sweet fellowship with friends of yesterday.
