He then took up woodworking as a hobby, making many items for family and friends. He served his church faithfully until poor health no longer permitted active participation. He had a great love for music, and played and sang with joy as long as he was able. He is remembered as a loving husband, father and grandfather. He is mourned by his wife; son Wilmer and Rudy of Tofield and Dennis of Wetaskiwin, Alta.; daughter Brenda Wiens of Sherwood Park, Alta.; 10 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter.
