Charles Gabriel Pain of Edmonton, Alberta
passed away August 14. He was born June
29, 1929 to Percy and Elizabeth Pain in
Toronto. He married Marlene Card in 1954
and graduated from University of Thronto as
a mechanical engineer in 1955. He began
working for Canadian National Railway in
1955 and had an early retirement in 1987.
He was transferred to several cities by the
company, including Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg and, since 1965, Edmonton. In 1975, he
married Elvira Siemens Riediger. His early
retirement and good health gave him the opportunity to become active in the church facilities committee at Lendrum MB Church,
fund-raising for MCC and occasional consulting for Edmonton Recycling Society. His retirement years were also a time when he
grew spiritually, demonstrated by his care
and concern for others and his appreciation
for the church. He will be missed for his creative technical skills, his love of life and his
optimism. He is survived by wife Elvira; children Cathy of Vancouver, David and Chris of
Edmonton, and Janine Pudde of Edmonton;
step-daughters Lisa Ryder ofToronto and Kalyn Falk of Winnipeg; four grandchildren and
two sisters. The funeral was August 17, 1991 in Lendrum MB Church, with Herb Kopp ministering.
