Dad was a charter member of the Redeemer Lutheran Church. He served in various capacities with the church, the community club and agriculture organizations. The family wishes to thank Dr. Spence and the remarkable staff of Home Care and Palliative Services at the Whitemouth District Health Centre for their compassionate care.
