They raised their eight children on their dairy farm in La Broquerie. He worked at the Mennonite Heritage Village Museum for several years, driving the team of oxen. In 1981, they semi-retired and moved to a small acreage in Dufresne, MB. He was a skillful and respected farmer and carpenter who loved his work and took great pride in his profession.

His infinite patience in teaching his children all the skills he had acquired, his optimism and good humour will be greatly missed by all. Our family would like to express appreciation to the many doctors, nurses and home care workers who helped take care of Dad during his stay at Villa Youville.
