ERNEST "ERNIE" DYCK
Ernie Dyck died peacefully at home Feb. 1 after a 15-month struggle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was born Nov. 4, 1933 in Sardis, B.C., the youngest child of Peter and Margaret Dyck. At 13, Ernie prayed the sinner's prayer, and at 19 received believer's baptism and became an active member of Sardis (Greendale) MB Church. A graduate of the University of British Columbia, Ernie served as a teacher and principal in B.C. schools for 33 years. In 1956, just prior to assuming his first teaching position in Cranbrook, Ernie married Elsie Kroeker. With their two children, they enjoyed visiting relatives and holidaying with truck and camper throughout western Canada and adjacent states. Ernie's children and grandchildren were a source of great joy to him. After retirement, Ernie pursued his interests in people and numbers by working as a tax preparer for 14 years. He is mourned by Elsie; son Andrew (Martha Goossen); daughter Lois (James) Klassen; 6 grandchildren; 2 brothers; 2 sisters. The memorial service was Feb. 6 at Broadway MB Church, Chilliwack, B.C.
