<center><h3>HENRY UNGER</h3></center>

Henry Unger was born on May 24, 1909 in
Waldheim, Molotschna colony in southern
Russia, the son of John and Susanna Unger.
He had a happy childhood, and attended
high school in Gnadenfeld. He accepted the
Lord as his Savior in 1922 during evangelistic meetings led by D. M. Hofer. The
Ungers moved to Canada in 1925 and Henry
helped his parents during the first hard
years. Attendance at the Coaldale (Alta.)
and the Winkler (Man.) Bible schools enriched his life; he studied hard and loved to sing.
In 1935 he married Alice Rempel. The
Lord blessed them with six sons, one of
whom died in infancy. Mr. Unger served the
Lord as a Bible school teacher in Gem, Alta.,
and Sardis, B .C. for a number of years. He
loved his work as a Sunday school superintendent and minister. He taught German
language on Saturdays for about 25 years.
In 1967 the Ungers moved to Chilliwack
and joined the Broadway Mennonite Brethren Church. They appreciated the love and
understanding they received. Mr. Unger
began ailing in 1965; he slowly weakened,
and went to be with his Lord on March 15,
1977.
He will be missed by his beloved wife,
Alice; his sons, Verne, Hank, Ted, Wally,
and Ernie and their families; eight grandchildren; and many friends and relatives.
