CHARLES ROLAND HARPER September 30, 1930 March 21, 2009 With a smile and a tear Dad left his home on earth to meet his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Peacefully on Saturday morning surrounded by his loving family we watched Dad's spirit rise to heaven. Dad will be greatly missed by his loving wife of 64 years Mae. His children: Dave (Deb), Jimmy (Janet), Karen, Gail (Jeff), Kurt (Janice), Deanne (Todd), Lana and Darren along with 15 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren are so thankful to have shared our lives with such a wonderful Father and Papa. Family and Faith was the centre of his life. So many happy memories are those of the entire family being together for any occasion we may have celebrated. Food, laughter and fun were an integral part of these times together and will continue to be. The family attended the Elmwood Church of the Nazarene where Dad sat on the board for many years. In 1988 Dad made the decision to answer his calling and transfer as a member to the First Nations Community Church where he served as a well respected Elder in service of the aboriginal people. Vern Dyck and Chris Langenin has always had a special place in Dad's heart. Thank you so much as Dad really enjoyed his work with Springhill Lumber. We would like to thank the staff of Country Road (500 wing) at Bethania Personal Care Home for the loving and dignified care you provided our Dad during his stay there. We invite you to a Celebration of Dad's life to be held on Wednesday, March 25, 2009.
