CON J. ADRIAN

Con Adrian died Sept. 17 after a struggle with cancer. He was born Nov. 8, 1929 in Warman, Sask. His first claim to fame was his birth weight of 14 pounds. The great depression forced the family to move to Saskatoon in 1937. At 23, Con moved back to a rural area where he met and married Mathilde. Con was good with his hands and his biggest achievement was the house he built almost completely by himself. He was very involved with his church, both as an elder and a handyman, serving God best by helping in practical ways. He is mourned by Mathilde; daughters Laura Knight, Shirley (Jim) Crites and Marlene; sons William (Terry) and Richard (Rhonda); 12 grandchildren; brothers and 1 sister. The memorial service was Sept. 21 at Linden (Alta.) MB Church.
