Dad and Mom married in February 1951 and almost immediately immigrated to Canada. Dad worked his year in agriculture and then proceeded to get a job as an automobile mechanic. When vehicles became computerized, he moved on to repairing farm implements. In his retirement he maintained the flower beds at The Crest in the summer and cleared snow in the winter. Dad was an avid reader, but he never seemed to be able to find time to read all the books he had collected. When mom stopped baking he decided that if he wanted home baked goods he would have to learn and proceeded to bake carrot cake, chocolate chip & oatmeal raisin cookies and knippertjes. Dad took great joy being in God’s creation and he loved to travel.
Cremation has taken place.
