JOHN WESTDAL - VE4JAW
December 04, 2009
JOHN ARTHUR SWAIN WESTDAL It is with
thankfulness for an incredible life that we announce the passing of a
wonderful son, husband, brother, father, afi, and dear friend to many
on Friday, December 4, 2009. John leaves to cherish his memory his
mother Evelyn, his wife Heather, his siblings Harold (Heather), Barb
(Alan), his children Tanis (Rodney), David (Sarah), Paul (Jen),
grand-children Christopher, Charlotte, Robertson, and Veronica. He will
be fondly remembered by his uncle and aunt as well as his many cousins,
nieces and nephews. An incredible man with an interest in everyone's
story, John's friendship will be treasured by the many people he has
met throughout his life. John was born on February 17, 1944 at the
Winnipeg General Hospital to loving parents Jack and Evelyn. Jack
brought his young family to Elk Lake on Vancouver Island where he flew
for the R.C.A.F. After the war his father's career as a bush pilot took
John to The Pas, with summers spent at Norway House. He spent his youth
in Swan River and Neepawa and returned to graduate from Kelvin High
School in Winnipeg in 1962. John attended and graduated from the
University of Manitoba in the Faculty of Engineering. It was during his
studies that he met the love of his life, Heather Robertson as they
carpooled to and from university together. John would take Heather on
dates flying in a Piper Colt. John and Heather were married on August
5, 1967. Following their marriage, John continued his studies at the
University of Manitoba, completing his Masters degree in control
systems engineering in 1969. Schooling complete, John and his young
bride decided on a new adventure and working for C.U.S.O. they
travelled together to Tanzania, where he taught at the Dar es Salaam
Technical College. Time in Dar was filled with new-found friendships,
sailing on the Indian Ocean and travelling around the country by
motorbike. After the birth of their first child Tanis, John and Heather
returned to Canada, settling in Pinawa, Manitoba where John worked at
AECL. Their family continued to grow with the birth of two sons, David
and Paul. John shared many gifts with his family, including his love of
the outdoors, teaching his children how to sail, ski, canoe and camp.
John loved life in Pinawa, where he formed life-long friendships
cultivating his interests in bridge, ham radio, sailing, and
bee-keeping. He was quick to volunteer in the community, particularly
with the Trans-Canada Trail and radio-work at triathlons and
cross-country skiing events. After early retirement from AECL, John's
consulting work allowed for winters spent on the water. John and
Heather shared many sailing adventures in the Florida Keys, including a
crossing to the Bahamas on their boat Freyja. They shared dry land
adventures as well, cycling the east coast of Canada, hiking Scotland
and travelling to Mexico and Iceland. John loved learning through
books, people and life-experience. While loathe to give advice, when
asked, he would share his knowledge in his typical easy-going manner.
John was a thoughtful, strong and wise man who loved deeply. His house
was always open for a visit from friends and family. He loved spending
time with his grandchildren, taking them to the conservatory in
Winnipeg, or along the river trail to Book Break in Pinawa. Plainly
stated, John was a good man and will be missed by all who knew him.
Funeral services will be held at the Pinawa Lutheran Church on
Wednesday, December 9 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be
made to the Manitoba Recreational Trails Association or the St.
Boniface Hospital Research Foundation. SOBERING FUNERAL CHAPEL

NICHOLAS
ANTHONY LEONE It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of our dear
Dad and Papa, on Thursday, October 22, 2009, at the age of 86 years.
Remaining to forever cherish Nick's memory are his sons Philip (Lesley) and
Nicholas (Michelle); daughters Niki (Richard), Colleen (Rob), Sheree (Bill);
nine grandchildren, Richard, Philip, Kathryn, Melissa, Rachel, Abigail,
Benjamin, Ryan and Olivia. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Adele and
his parents Filipo and Rosina Leone Our Dad was an old fashioned kind of guy
and married an old fashioned kind of girl. His great passions in life were
his beautiful, loving and very smart Adele, his children and grandchildren,
his work and his never ending thirst for knowledge and its practical
application! Dad did all the middle class things that are the heart and soul
of our family, our society and our country. He grew up speaking two
languages, graduated from high school, went to war while still a boy, was
married to the same girl for 60 years, worked 30 years for the same company
and brought home his pay cheque every two weeks and gave it to Mum! Dad was
the head of his union and worked hard for the rights of people who built
things and fixed things and worked shifts, because, they were very important
people. Dad made incredible things like beautiful wooden boats, collapsible
house trailers, arc welders, a small gas turbine (honestly, Philip watched
him machine it on his lathe), extra bedrooms and bathrooms, fences,
driveways, garages, a 30 foot welded aluminum TV tower, tree houses, card
board forts and even a vegetable garden with Grandpa (and lots of other cool
stuff from Popular Mechanics). Dad could fix everything from a toaster, to a
TV, to a Ford, to a DC-3 or a 747 and when we were kids Dad was sent to far
off places like Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary and Vancouver to get airplanes
back into the air! He spent 30 hard working years with Air Canada. He met
many lifelong friends there, many of whom he still kept in touch with to this
day. Dad could talk about anything: politics, religion, history, mechanics,
electronics, sport, because he knew his onions! He always stood his ground,
that's how he was made! Dad also enjoyed 30 years of retirement with Mom.
They made many trips to Florida in the winter and thoroughly enjoyed their
summers at West Hawk Lake. Lifelong friendships were made there as well, as
were many beautiful and happy memories. Dad was a proud man right until the
end. He made a promise to Mom that they would stay in their home until their
time here was done, and he was successful in keeping that promise. Dad has
taught us that determination and spirit will never fail you. God bless Dad
for his obstinate position on those things that really mattered to him, his
toughness, his resilience and his great passion and love for his family. Dad
has much to be proud of and we all take pride and comfort in his
accomplishments, his life and finally, his peaceful end. Dad will be missed
by many, and especially by his two special companions, Buddy and Percy. They
owe their lives to Dad, and part of his to them. In his last hours, all he
wanted was to make sure they would find a good home. Dad, we will not let you
down. We know you are at peace and we know you are with Mom. We know your
souls needed to be together again. We miss you more than words can say, but
we will see you again one day. As we said, only nine short months ago to Mom,
we will not say good bye, we will only say so long. We love you Dad. Bless
your heart and thank you from the bottom of ours. We are better people
because you were our Dad. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. in the St. Paul the Apostle Roman
Catholic Church, 2400 Portage Avenue, with Rev. Fr. Mark Tarrant, presiding.
The family would like to thank Father Mark of St. Paul's, Dr. Schellenberg
for his care of Dad over the years and Dr. Allback most recently. Thanks also
to the WRHA Home Care and Drake Medox staff. Special thanks and love go to
Janice Youmans for the never ending care, love and devotion you gave to Dad
and to Mom. You are truly an angel on earth. You became part of our family
and so you will remain. Also to Pierrette, your presence in Dad's last few
days made our last journey with him so much easier. You too are our family
and we will never be able to thank you enough. Donations in Dad's memory can
be made to the Paddock House, Integra Support Services Ltd.,Unit 2 - 745
Vanalman Avenue, Victoria, BC V8Z 3B6. They will be used to assist his dear
Granddaughter Melissa. HE'LL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED He'll always be remembered
as a man, both strong and good. Who gave his best for others and who did the
best he could. He'll always be remembered for all the joy he brought. As a
man who made a difference and a man who meant a lot.

TOM PREST - VE4MY
October 11th, 2009
TOM ALBERT PREST Tom Albert Prest, a resident of
Devonshire Village in Edmonton, passed away peacefully at the Misericordia
Hospital on October 11, 2009 at the age of 95. Tom had moved from Winnipeg, his
long time residence, five years earlier. Tom was predeceased by his loving wife
Margaret in 2003, his son Robert in 1953, and his three brothers William, James
and Robert. He will be sadly missed by his four surviving children Bill
(Claire) of Toronto, Doug of Guelph, Larry (Joanne) of Vancouver, Barbara
(Arthur) of Edmonton, ten grandchildren, and many relatives throughout Canada.
Tom was born in Goderich, ON on December 19, 1913, the eldest of four sons of
Thomas Linwood and Helen Irene Prest (nee Shephard). Tom's family moved to
Saskatchewan in 1919 and he graduated from Edam High School. Tom's fascination
with electronics led to him being licensed as one of Canada's first Amateur
Radio operators in 1933. This led to Tom joining the Royal Canadian Air Force
in September 1939 as a Wireless Electrical Mechanic. He was quickly transferred
to England with No. 110 Squadron (later designated No. 400) and served actively
in London and southern England during the Battle of Britain. In 1943 he helped in
the formation of No. 433 Squadron (a Halifax Bomber unit) where he assumed the
responsibility for all airborne communications. He returned to Canada in 1945
and chose to stay with the Air Force where he served in many communications and
radar capacities, including several NORAD radar stations throughout Eastern
Canada. After a long and distinguished career Tom was honourably discharged
from the Air Force in 1965, and moved with his family to Winnipeg. Tom's second
career started that same year when he joined the CBC, where he remained until
his retirement in 1978 at the age of 65. Soon after the war Tom met Margaret
(Peggy) Parker of Winnipeg and they were married on November 15, 1947. From
1948 to 1960 Tom and Peggy had five children. Tom was a very proud and devoted
father, and his children will always remember his interest, help and patience
throughout their childhoods. Tom loved the summer cottage he built with his
family at Minaki, ON, and Tom and Peggy spent every summer there up until her
death in 2003. Tom moved to Edmonton in 2004 to be closer to his daughter
Barbara. A service will be held for Tom in the chapel of Devonshire Village,
1718 Rabbit Hill Road, Edmonton on Saturday, October 17 at 2:30 p.m. Presiding
over the service will be the Venerable Michael Sung and Reverend Jonathan
Connell of Holy Trinity Riverbend Church. The family has plans for a formal
interment in Winnipeg at a future date to be announced. The family wishes to
thank the staff at the Misericordia Hospital for their kind, compassionate and
attentive care shown toward Tom during his stay there. The family would also
like to thank the staff and residents of the Devonshire Village for the past
five years of involvement in Tom's life.
WALLACE EDGAR CLARK - VE4WJ

WALLACE EDGAR CLARK December 13, 1918 July 5, 2009 Surrounded by
his loving family, Wallace Clark passed away on July 5, 2009 at Tiger Hills
Health Centre in Treherne, Manitoba at the age of 90 years. Left to mourn his
loss are his loving wife of 63 years, Emma (Telford); three sons, David
(Morlyne), Donald (Sandra) and Charles (Laurel); eight grandchildren, Bruce
(Cheryl), Sharon, Trevor, Alain (Charlene), Stephen (Rachel), Jeanette,
Raymond, and Michael (Cheryl); two great-grandchildren, Colin and Emily. He
is survived by his sister Vera Glawson of Brandon; brothers Lorne (Jessie) of
Carberry and Gordon (Evelyn) of Treherne; numerous nieces and nephews. Dad
was born at Somerset, Manitoba and spent his boyhood years on
the farm homesteaded by his grandfather. He received his early education at Harmer School, a one room building near the
farm. He completed high school by correspondence and graduated from the University of Manitoba with a Diploma in Agriculture
in 1938. As Canada
entered the Second World War, Dad responded to his need to help by enlisting
in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He completed basic training as a Wireless Air Gunner and began his service at
various military bases in Canada.
Following a few perilous trans-Atlantic flights to deliver bombers from Dorval, Quebec to
overseas bases, Dad received a promotion to the rank of Flight Lieutenant and
a posting to London, England where he remained until
the end of the war. It was while Dad was stationed at Dorval that he and Mother met and fell in
love. In 1945 the war ended and Dad requested a discharge from military
service. He and Mother were married in Montreal
and set out to Manitoba
to begin their lives and raise their family. Dad was a successful farmer and
put his natural abilities and University training to good use. After his
retirement from farming, Dad spent many years in the grain buying industry,
general insurance, real estate and appraisal business and earned his CRA
(certified residential appraiser) accreditation in 1980. During his twenty
years as a hail adjuster for Co-op Insurance, he took great delight in
travelling throughout the Prairie
Provinces and talking to the many farmers he met
along the way. Always a strong supporter of his community he spent many years
throughout his life serving on the board of directors of many organizations
including Swan Lake Hospital, Norquay School, Treherne United Church and
Treherne Co-op. As a member of the Legion, he served on the board of
directors of Legion Lodge Inc. He was very proud of his long membership in
the Masonic fraternity and the Order of the Eastern Star. Two weeks ago he
was especially pleased to receive his 60 year Masonic bar. The respect Dad
earned by the manner in which he conducted his life is reflected in his
numerous friends. The family is grateful to those generous and caring people
who graciously provided so much of their time and support over the years.
Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 9, 2009 at Treherne United
Church, Treherne,
MB, with interment to follow at Beaconsfield Cemetery. If friends so wish, in lieu

DR.
JOHN LEROY AGAR, D.V.M.; M.V.Sc. January 7, 1929 - June 28, 2009 John was a
small town boy his whole life. Many of the talents he acquired were nurtured in
the town of Acton, Ontario where he grew up. John played trumpet in the Acton
Legion Band that performed across southern Ontario and won prizes at the
Toronto Exhibition. This talent helped finance his university education. Honing
his skills on the trumpet remained a life long passion. Summers spent helping
with the harvest on his Uncle's farm at Kleinberg, Ontario fostered an interest
in agriculture and lead John to pursue a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine at
the University of Guelph. On completion of his veterinary degree in 1954, John
headed west to work in Alberta. There he discovered the joys of trout fishing
and caught the flying bug . He took flying lessons and eventually joined the
R.C.A.F. As a flight lieutenant in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, he served as a
flight instructor and saw the world with Transport Command (Trenton). On
September 5, 1958, he married Helen Dolmage and they raised four great
children. Working as a veterinarian, John and his family lived in various
locations including Mitchell, Ontario, Guelph, Ontario, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
and Abbotsford, British Columbia. Winnipeg, Manitoba, however, became home.
John was a life long learner applying his boundless enthusiasm to a wide array
of interests including: golf, fishing, hunting, camping, amateur radio,
guitar, aircraft restoration, flying fixed wing aircraft and gliders, winemaking,
Italian cooking and Linux software programming. John is lovingly remembered by
his family: wife, Helen, of Winnipeg, Victoria and Bob of High River, Alberta,
Cathy, Rod and Bonnie and Cheryl and Michael of Winnipeg. John's ten
grandchildren are Nicolas and Bentley Hunsberger, Mitchell, Samantha and Tanner
Agar, Thomas and Emma Dunlop and Breeze, Autumn and Indi Agar. After a long and
courageous struggle with pulmonary disease, John has moved on to greener
pastures . Thanks to the staff on 5B and the Emergency department at St.
Boniface Hospital. They are kind and thoughtful people who treated John with
great respect. John loved his dogs and we know he would appreciate a donation
in his memory to your local Humane Society. A Celebration of John's life will
be held at Churchill Park United Church, 525 Beresford Avenue, Friday, July 10,

HENRY (CHESTER) BRIAND February 15, 1928 - November 20, 2008 It is with
deep regret that we announce the passing of Henry on Thursday, November
20, 2008, after an extended period suffering with Alzheimer's; he will
be sadly missed. Remaining to forever cherish Henry's memory are his
loving wife and family who were by his side throughout his illness. He
was predeceased by his parents William and Martha (nee Dixon) as well
as numerous brothers and sisters. A private family ceremony took place
Tuesday, November 25, 2008 in the Chapel of Memories in Wojcik's
Funeral Chapel, 2157 Portage Avenue. The family would like to extend a
special thank you to Jack and Vivian Ingham for all their support and
kindness. Thank you to the staff at Seven Oaks Hospital and Charleswood
Care Home. Donations may be made in Henry's memory to the Alzheimer's
Society of Manitoba. We searched for you today, but no matter where we
looked we just couldn't find you. It brought back fears of the past few
years when you would go missing for hours, unable to remember where you
were. Once again we feared for your safety. Then reality set in and we
were reminded of that tragic day we found out the Lord called you home.
This dreadful disease that first robbed you of your mind then your
body, has now robbed me of my friend, my Husband, my children's Father,
their children's grandfather, their children's great-grandfather. No
longer are we able to share a visit nor a simple smile with you. Now we
are left with an emptiness that can never be filled. The only comfort
we have is knowing that your pain and suffering have ended. You will
forever live on in our memories and in our hearts. You are no longer
with us, but you will never be forgotten. Farewell - we miss you.

relatives and friends in Canada, England and Australia. Stan was born
in Manchester, England amid the Great War and served as an air gunner
and aircraft mechanic during the Second World War. After the war, he
brought his family to Canada where his aviation experience and
mechanical aptitude lead him to pursue a career in Aircraft Accident
Investigation and Aviation Safety with Transport Canada. Living in the
Maritimes, he became interested in sailing. He built a thunderbird
sailboat named Myst' and spent countless hours navigating on the waters
of the Atlantic Ocean. Stan will be remembered as a thoughtful,
gracious gentleman who loved to read books about complex scientific
subjects as much as he liked to use his hands to fix anything that
needed repairing. In keeping with his wishes, no service is being held.
A celebration of his life will be held by family following his final
launch by cremation. (Happy Sailing, Dad). THOMSON FUNERAL HOME 669

SERGE KRENZ - VE4ZG
March 20th, 2007
SERGE KRENZ Tragically and unexpectedly, it
is with great sorrow that on Tuesday, March 20, 2007, Serge George Daniel Krenz
was taken away from us. Serge was predeceased by his grandmother Anna Krenz and
by grandmother Ewdochia and grandfather Daniel Humeniuk. Serge will be dearly
missed and forever remembered by his mother Joyce, father Victor and his only
brother Daniel. He will also be missed by his cousins, Terry and Greg Krenz and
Aunt Agnes. Born in Winnipeg on April 28, 1979, Serge received his initial
schooling in the Charleswood area at Royal, Laidlaw and Shaftsbury-Tuxedo
schools. Serge was extremely intelligent and hardworking, striving to do his
best at all times. At the University of Manitoba, he obtained a B.Sc. (major) in
Psychology/Environmental Science in 2004 as well as a B.A. in
Psychology/Criminology in 2006. He kept pursuing his education, and had applied
to the Faculty of Social Work. Serge loved challenges and studied piano for
seven years as well as saxophone for six. Throughout his years at Laidlaw and
Shaftsbury he played in both school band and jazz band. He and his brother kept
fit by doing Martial Arts and weight training. He financed his education by
working for five years as a Customer Service Technical Support Agent for
ATT/Comcast, diagnosing problems and providing solutions. For the last three
years he worked as an instructor/ supervisor for the City of Winnipeg at Pan Am
Pool and at Sargent Park Recreation Complex. At Sargent Park he was involved
with the Youth in Crises Initiative Project in liaison with the Aquatic Staff
and the Winnipeg Police Department Conflict Management. At the same time he
volunteered with the Winnipeg Children's Access Agency where he supervised and
monitored visitations of family members who had been victims of domestic
violence. He also loved volunteering at the UMSU freshman orientation session
for a number of years. His love for travel took him across the world to such
locations as Europe and southeast Asia. He joined his brother in 2001 in
Germany, Morocco and in 2002 and toured the Far East: Thailand and gained a
further insight into our Global Community. Serge's exceptional intelligence and
motivation enabled him to achieve two degrees and with it came the hopes and
dreams for a bright and interesting future. Sensitive, open and caring this
enabled him to easily reach out to others. With his humour and joy for life he
lightened many moments. He always acted generously, gave freely without a sense
of expecting returns. There was an underlying sense of unconditional love that
he projected. It was a joy to see him looking after his pets in such a gentle
manner. With loving care he nursed his first dog Hamlet through a long illness.
We are grateful to have had him with us for 27 years. Next month we would have
celebrated with him his 28th birthday. The complexity and unexpectedness of life
leaves us shrouded in such sorrow for what might have been. We shape our dreams
and hopes but in the end must be grateful for what we had all the rest is
silence. A memorial service to honour Serge's life will be held on Saturday,
March 31 at 2:00 p.m. at Church Of The Rock, 1397 Buffalo Place. In lieu of

WILLIAM (BILL) EDWARD EVANS VE4UD

WILLIAM (BILL) EDWARD EVANS 1942
2006 Bill passed away on Monday October 9, 2006 at the St. Boniface Hospital.
Bill is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Linda, son Christopher and
daughter Marnie. He was predeceased by his father, Edward Burrell Evans, in 1979
and his mother, Eileen Elizabeth (Brisbin), in 1967. Bill's lack of immediate
family has been more than made up for by the many close relatives in his wife's
family and their unceasing love for each other and for Bill. Bill attended
elementary and high school in Thunder Bay Ontario, graduating with a Bachelor's
Degree in Electrical Engineering from McMaster University in Hamilton, ON, in
1965 and received a Diploma from the Banff School of Advanced Management in
1986. Bill began his career in the fledging cable television industry, designing
and implementing cable systems in Thunder Bay, Pinawa and the large Winnipeg
Videon System, which brought him back to Winnipeg in 1967. While briefly in
Toronto and on his return to Winnipeg, he designed many systems for other cities
across Canada. In 1971 he joined the Manitoba Telephone System (MTS) where he
had an 18 year career related largely to business communication engineering,
holding a number of increasingly senior management positions at MTS, and
represented MTS on several national telephone industry committees. In 1989 he
left MTS with a colleague to form E B Systems Limited, a consulting engineering
firm specializing in broadband telecommunication and broadcasting projects
internationally on five continents. In recent years the firm designed and
implemented several unique broadband systems for distance education as well as
serving as technical consultants for the establishment of the Manitoba
Telehealth Network. The firm's work received awards of Excellence and Merit from
the Consulting Engineers of Manitoba. Bill served many local professional
associations at the Board level, acting as Secretary for the Electronic
Industries Association of Manitoba (EIAM), the Information Systems Technical
Advisory Panel of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce and, for the past 3 years, as
Secretary for the Consulting Engineers of Manitoba (CEM). Bill also served on
the Board of the Winnipeg Chapter of the Institute for Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE), was a Senior Member of both the IEEE since 1978
and the Society of Cable Telecommunication Engineers (SCTE) since 1974, was a
member of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE),
Association of Consulting Engineers of Canada, Association of Professional
Engineers of Manitoba and the Canadian Cable Television Pioneers. Bill became
fascinated with radio and electronics in his early teen years which drove his
selection of profession and fueled a life long interest in amateur radio. He
held an Advanced Class License, with call letters VE4UD, since the early 70s,
and made many friends locally, nationally and internationally via the airwaves.
Bill always considered amateur radio much more than a hobby. A refuge from
life's storms and strains and a chance to build and construct with one's own
hands, as well as meet and talk with people around the world as well as
throughout Manitoba. Bill took great pleasure from the family cottage at
Victoria Beach, where he maintained a complete amateur radio station and much
enjoyed fishing, golfing and bicycling. For many years he was a season ticket
holder of the Blue Bombers, Jets and, more recently, the Winnipeg Goldeyes. His
interest in these team sports underlined his love and support for Winnipeg. A
memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, October 13 at Thomson
Funeral Home, 669 Broadway The family would like to send a sincere thank you to
Dr. Johnston, Dr. Stimpson and their primary nurses at Cancercare, the nurses
and doctors on Ward 3D of the Health Sciences Centre, the nurses and care
workers from the Manitoba Home Care Program, and the nurses and doctors at the
St. Boniface Palliative Care Unit for their care and compassion shown to Bill
and his family during Bill's illness. In lieu of flowers the family would
appreciate donations sent to the Salvation Army, 55 Donald Street, Suite 500,
Winnipeg, MB R3C 1L8 Thomson Funeral Home 669 Broadway 783-7211

ABRAM BESTVATER After a lengthy battle with
heart disease, Abe Bestvater passed away at Bethesda Hospital on September 21,
2006, with his loving family at his side. He is survived by his wife of 39
years, Brigitte; his sons, Stacy and Steve (wife Ginette and granddaughter Mia);
his sister Helen Peters; and brothers, Henry (Mary), Jake (Mary), John
(Shirley); and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents,
Abram and Margareta Bestvater; sister Tina Bestvater; brother-in-law Henry
Peters; and sister-in-law Helen Bestvater. Abe was born July 8, 1931 at
Grandfather Martens' farm in Grunthal. He received his schooling in Grunthal and
after Grade 10, worked several years on the farm. He then moved to Winnipeg,
taking several jobs, including working at McLeod's and Eaton's. On the
suggestion of his sister Helen, he attended Teacher's College in 1957-58, and
started his teaching career at Elm Creek. Abe loved to learn and returned to
Grace College of the Bible, graduating in 1961. That fall, he took a teaching
position in Niverville and in 1962, he transferred to Steinbach, where he would
spend the rest of his teaching career. During the summer of 1961, Abe was a
counselor at Red Rock Bible Camp. This began a 40 year involvement with Red Rock
that included sitting on the camp Board of Directors. Abe and Brigitte met
several times, but their courtship started just after the blizzard of 1966. They
were married on August 20, 1967. In 1969, they took a sabbatical where they
attended Tabor College, both graduating in 1970. Their first son Steve was born
in 1971, followed by Stace in 1973. Abe loved to travel. In 1972, he took his
young family on his first of nine trips to Alaska, helping at a mission. Other
family trips included destinations such as Florida, Texas, Victoria, Kansas, and
Chicago, all in his customized camper vans. Abe's hobbies included operating his
Ham and CB radios, electronic, automotive and clock repair, locksmithing,
taxidermy, hunting, and farming. His family, friends and acquaintances benefited
greatly from his gifted mind and skilled fingers. After retirement, Abe spent
much of his time volunteering at the MCC self-help store, fixing everything from
phones to clocks and toasters. Abe was a devoted and amazing father and husband,
never losing sight of what was important for his family. We would like to thank
the wonderful nursing staff and Dr. Thiessen at Bethesda Hospital in Steinbach
for their excellent care. A special thank you to all who supported the family in
prayer. Viewing will be held Monday, September 25, at Birchwood Funeral Chapel
