f Abbotsford, B.C.
passed away Oct. 16.
He was born Oct. 1,
1919 to Henry and Susanna Janzen in Omsk,
Russia. The family immigrated to Coaldale,
Alta. in 1926, then
moved to Gem, Alta.
He lived most of his
adult years in B.C's
Lower Mainland. At
16, he had a ruptured
appendix and was expected to die. He accepted Christ at this
time, remaining faithful to Him the rest of
his life. During World
War II, he joined the
tank corps of the
Canadian army, serving till 1943 when he
received a medical discharge. In 1943 he
moved to Vancouver.
He married Kay Neumann July 25, 1943 in
Arnold (B.C) MB
Church. He became
an electrician, retiring
in 1983. This trade
took him to many B.C.
communities, as well
as to Whitehorse,
Yukon. After the children left home, he
and Kay travelled to
those communities
with a pick-up and
trailer, finding these
expeditions an ever
changing delight. He
was baptized in South
Abbotsford MB
Church in 1947 and
remained part of the
MB church most of his
life. He was active in a
variety of churches,
serving in practical
ways such as building,
wiring and maintenance. During his
Yukon years, he was in
regular demand to
sing solos. In retirement and as his health
allowed, he repaired
appliances and broken
self-help crafts at the
MCC thrift store. He
loved to make walking
sticks, handing them
out to anyone who
needed or admired
them. His life was
characterized by helping people. He is
mourned by Kay; children Vic, Gerry, and
Peggy Van Achte; 6
grandchildren and 8
great-grandchildren.
The memorial service
was Oct. 22 in Bakerview MB ChUTCh,
