He departed this life on January 24, 1982, at the Holy Cross Hospital, Calgary, Alberta, after a short illness. Father reached the age of eighty-five years. In December of 1904, he, with his parents, moved to Swalwell, Alberta. In these pioneer years, he received his basic education and grew to manhood. Father realized his lost condition, and upon repentance of sins and the confession of his faith, he was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, on February 20, 1918. This faith he embraced until his end. Our father was married to Helena Penner on January 21, 1922. They shared the joys and sorrows of life until October 5, 1977, when Mother was taken from his side, leaving him many lonely hours. His faith in God and appreciation for his family and friends, as well as the loving care of the nursing home staff, was a comfort to him. On July 25, 1934, our parents were called to serve their congregation in the Gospel ministry. Father was ordained by Minister Tobias Unruh. They endeavored to serve God and the Church in this capacity until he retired for health reasons. While they served mostly at home, they also spent five years shepherding the congregation at Salmon Arm, British Columbia. As a family, we have many fond memories of our dad. He carried a deep concern for the spiritual well-being of the children and grandchildren, admonishing us to live faithfully, that we might all meet in Heaven someday. We appreciate the honesty he taught and lived in his material, as well as spiritual, life. Father always enjoyed meeting people and was reluctant to miss any church service. He also had a special appreciation for nature. Father enjoyed reasonable health until the last few days. Since May of 1977, he was a resident of the Linden Nursing Home. These years were a blessing to him, and he often expressed his appreciation for them. We mourn the passing of our father yet are assured in our hearts that he has gone to a better home to be with his Saviour who meant so much to him. He leaves to mourn seven children: Walter and Rosella Baerg, Elk Point, Alberta; Charlotte and Harvey Thiessen; Catherine and Bill Klassen, Linden, Alberta; Ernest and Alice Baerg, Transylvania, Louisiana; Margaret and Roy Rankin, Port Coquitlam, British Columbia; Marcella and Norman Schaffrick, Tiger Lily, Alberta; Curtis and Sophie Baerg, Stettler, Alberta; twenty-two grandchildren; eight great-grand children; two sisters: Katherine and Daniel Boese; Mary and Aaron Megli, Linden, Alberta; as well as many relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his wife, Helena, one son, Herbert, his parents, three brothers, and six sisters.
