Harvest time with the boys was always very special to him. At the age of 12 Dad gave his heart to the Lord and was baptized into the Church of God in Christ Mennonite. He remained faithful to the Lord all his life. He often told us how; when at the age of 6 he would milk cows before walking to school. In his youth he spent many hours working the fields and hauling hay with horses. Dad worked for his brother Arnold dredging gravel from the Red Deer River as well as many other gravel jobs. In his later youth he was sawyer at a sawmill at Spray Lakes, AB. On August 29, 1954, at the age of 24 Dad married the love of his life, Luise Toews. They enjoyed 57 years together. Dad and Mom raised 5 sons and 1 daughter. He never had a daughter-in-law or son-in-law. They were always considered his own children. Dad and Mom started a dairy operation, but they felt the Lord calling them to Fort Vermilion, AB. After spending two years in the mission at Fort Vermilion, they moved back to Linden. Two months later they decided to sell the dairy and moved back to the north. They lived in LaCrete, AB for two years and got acquainted with many local people. Then Dad and Mom bought a farm at Fort Vermillion and between farming in summer and logging in winter, Dad enjoyed many hours working with his family. The many men he employed in his logging years as well as friends and neighbors have memories of a kind and compassionate man. His magnetic personality drew many people to him everywhere he lived. When diagnosed with cancer, Dad had a determination to spend time with his children and grandchildren, traveling back and forth from Creston to Fort Vermilion. Dad loved his children and grandchildren and was always interested in what they were doing. One of the last memorable trips was a fishing trip to the Mackenzie River in the Northwest Territories with the boys. One of Dad's biggest concerns was the spiritual welfare of his children and grandchildren. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. III John 4. Dad was unresponsive for a few hours as the family stood around his bedside. Mom was reading to Dad not knowing if he could hear what she was reading. Slowly Dad opened his eyes and it appeared he was looking towards heaven with a smile. He closed his eyes and very peacefully passed away. Dad reached the age of 81 years. Dad and Mom moved to Symphony Senior Living in Red Deer, AB in January 2012. A special thanks to all the care givers at Symphony Senior Living Aspen Ridge. Your kindness will be remembered forever. Dad was predeceased by son Wally. Left to mourn his passing are his wife Luise and children and grandchildren, Tom and Regina, Verle and Ande, Dale and Bethany, Carrie, Troy; Bill and Pam, Shannon, Kailey, Jeffery, Sylvia, Scott; Verda and Clayton, Chris and Lynn, Clint and Becky; Les and Gail, Shane, Kenni, Katie, Jordan, Jessica; Bert and Val, Bruce, Levi. Dad will be missed by his brothers and sisters and many friends. Funeral services were held Wednesday, May 9, 2012 at Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, Linden, AB with interment in Linden Cemetery.
