He was born Feb. 20, 1933 in Rose- town, Sask. to John and Katherine Epp, and spent his youth in Win- nipeg, developing in- terests in music, poetry, IIL....Mdoerksen (talk). carpentry, and the out- • doors. He gave his life to the Lord and was aware of God's great love for him. As a member of Fort Garry MB Church, Oscar found many opportunities to serve his Lord and Saviour. In 1957, he mar- ried Helen Unruh, and they shared 48 years of joy and love. Oscar's enthusiasm for life in- creased when his grandchildren were born. His sense of humour and optimism made him the centre of the family. He pursued a career in education for 23 years, attaining his mas- ter's degree, and then moved to a new chal- lenge in the insurance industry. He loved peo- ple and made those who crossed his path feel important and accepted. Predeceased by 1 sister, he is mourned by Helen; son Carl (Sharon); daughter Colleen (Gerald) Dey; 5 grandchildren; 1 sister; 2 brothers. The memorial service was at Fort Garry MB Church, Winnipeg.
