George John Froese of
Winnipeg passed away
Sept. 26. He was born
Oct. 23, 1922 to Johann and Sara Froese
in Ukraine, the eighth
of 10 children. The
family immigrated to
Manitou, Man. At 20,
he made a decision to
follow Christ. He later
met Anne Bergmann,
with whom he shared
his calling to show Jesus' love to people in a
foreign land. They married Sept. 3, 1950. In
1954 they went to India, working in 2 hospitals under MBMS International. They learned
much about the people
they served and were
amazed at what could
be done with little
equipment when God
was there. In 1967 they
returned to Canada. He
worked with his brother in a medical clinic,
retiring in 1987. He
and Anne did shortterm mission trips to
Nepal and various parts
of Manitoba. In 1997
he moved to a nursing
home. Predeceased by
son Daniel as an infant
in 1959, he is mourned
by Anne; children Kathy
Baerg, John, Margaret
Aikenhead, Tim and
Andy; and 13 grandchildren. The memorial
service was held Sept.
30 in Portage Ave. MB
