He leaves to mourn his departure, his bereaved widow; three daughters and their husbands, Esther and John Esau, Ruth and Sam Fast, Martha and Irl Toews; 12 grandchildren; five brothers, Jake of Inman, Abe of Greensburg, Henry of Alberta, Canada, and Ben and Frank of Winkler, Man; and one sister, Tena, Mrs. George Rempel of Winkler, Man.
