Allen Schmidt died
June 9, 2008. He was
born Feb. 28, 1916 in
Hepburn, Sask. Allen
led an unselfish life of
service to his family,
community, church, and profession and
deeply cared about all those with whom
he came in contact. He was grateful to
God for his salvation in Christ, and desired
to show that in everything he said and
did . He taught school in several small
and one-room schools in Saskatchewan
before moving to B.C., first to North Bend
in 1952 and then to Hope, where he
was a teacher and counsellor from 1957
to 1978. He enjoyed his many years of
retirement, delighting in friendships,
travelling, gardening, church, publishing
family memoirs, and visiting his children
and grandchildren. Many of his students
kept in contact with him and he enjoyed
following their lives. Throughout his years
in Abbotsford, he was a faithful visitor
to the sick and elderly. Predeceased in
1997 by Louise, his wife of 57 years, he
is mourned by sons Ron (Joan), Dennis
(Beth), and Brian; 5 grandchildren; 2 great-
grandchildren. The memorial service was
June 14 at Bakerview MB Church.
