Tribute

On Wednesday February 27, 2013, Mr. Henry Neufeld of Osoyoos died peacefully surrounded by family at the South Okanagan General Hospital at the age of 84 years.

He was born in Grassy Lake, Alberta on September 2, 1928. Henry married Agnes (nee Dick), his wife of sixty-four years on April 3, 1949.

Henry and Agnes retired to Osoyoos in September of 1989.

He was predeceased by his parents Peter and Anna Neufeld; three brothers: Peter, Jacob, and Dave Neufeld and his daughter-in-law Beverly Hosker-Neufeld.

Henry is survived by his wife Agnes Neufeld; children Mina Keddy, Rodger Neufeld, Tanya Mattson, Reg (Nancy) Neufeld, Lonnie (Sharon) Neufeld and Danon Judas; twelve grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Henry was a farmer and a jack-of-all-trades. He was very talented and succeeded at whatever he put his mind to. Henry gladly accepted the Lord into his heart when he was baptized on December 13, 2009 with water from the River Jordan.

Henry loved gardening, carpentry and painting. He did all these well and was a very talented self-taught artist. Henry loved nature shows and in his youth loved riding his horse Roman Red across the prairie.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to a charity of one’s choice is appreciated.

A celebration of his life will be held in May 2013 on a date yet to be chosen.
