Funeral service was held Tuesday, November 7, 2006 at 11:00 am at Morden Mennonite Church.  Interment followed at Southside Cemetery.

Our family moved to Morden from Altona in 1993.  Henry worked at the Morden Research Station til his retirement in 1985.  In spite of dad’s physical limitation in the latter part of his life, he continued to remain involved with the community.

As his children, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to our extended family and friends, the church community, the medical and homecare staff, handivan drivers, the Morden Friendship Centre, his friends at Morden Manor II and the community at large for the support that they gave our dad and us.  Without your patience and willingness to accommodate him, he would not have lived the quality of life that he had over the last 13 years.  We offer our profound thanks.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Henry’s memory to Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) 134 Plaza Dr. Winnipeg, MB R3T 5K9.

Wiebe Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements.
