He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years Arlie and children James (Peggy), Sharon (Brian) Bencharski, Kim (Jamie) Hay and Kelly (Darren) Farr. He is also survived by five grandchildren; Megan, Ian and Allison Hay; Caitlyn and Matthew Farr; three step-grandchildren Kim (Dave) Overton; Dan (Melanie) Chegus and Meghan Chegus and three step-great-grandchildren Noah, Lisa and Emily Overton as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Artimas and Annie, brother Chesley, sisters Alice and Anne. Walter was born in Winnipeg on Feb. 12, 1924. He was raised in Hadashville, MB on the family farm. He enlisted in the army during WWII and was stationed in Halifax with the Medical Corps. After being discharged in 1945 he did various jobs before starting a career in the forestry service with Manitoba Natural Resources. It was at this time he met and married the love of his life, Arlie Norris on Sept. 1, 1951. Throughout his 34-year career span with the provincial government, he was stationed in various locations within Southeastern Manitoba until his retirement in 1983. Following his retirement, mom and dad now had more time to travel. They enjoyed a trip to the east coast with their dear friends Carole and John Hreno as well as several road and bus trips throughout the United States. A true outdoorsman, dad was his happiest when he could be working in his yard or puttering around in his garage. His birdfeeders were never empty. There was nothing dad enjoyed more than having his family around him. His children and grandchildren meant the world to him and he meant the world to us. Dad was a quiet, proud, kind man who would rather be on the sidelines than in the spotlight and it was these qualities that earned him numerous lasting friendships throughout his lifetime. Respecting dad's wishes, a private family gathering will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Manitoba Heart and Stroke Foundation or the CNIB. We love you dad and we'll miss you. Green Acres Funeral Home and Cemetery, 1 Green Acres Lane, 222-3241. Life stories may be shared with friends and family across the globe at www.mem.com. ABRAM B. EIDSE Abram B. Eidse, much loved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2008. Many times in the course of the past year he told us he would like to fall asleep and never wake up. God granted him his desire, and answered our prayers for his healing. Dad was born in the village of Rosenhof on Dec. 5, 1926, although his birth certificate states it was Dec. 12. Apparently, by the time his father got around to registering him he had forgotten which Tuesday it actually happened. Abie, as he was known by friends and family leaves behind to cherish his memory his wife Matilda; his children Sylvia and Larry Dyck, Robert and Diane, Kerry and Joanne, Ray and Kimberly, June and Marc Rogers; 10 grandchildren and their spouses; and five great-grandchildren. As well, he is survived by two sisters, and was predeceased by eight brothers and sisters, with his brother Dick passing away just a week before. Dad grew up on the farm in Rosenhof and attended school until Grade 7. From that point on his education consisted of the school of experience and hard work. In the winter of 1945 Dad met Matilda Friesen, and they were married on Oct. 8, 1950. They moved into a tiny house on our grandmother's yard where they lived for four years. Following that they built their own house not far from the original homestead, and named it Four Winds Farm. Dad was always first and foremost a farmer, but he spent the first six winters after marriage hauling logs on the Vermillion Bay/Kenora area. When spring came and the ice on the lakes broke up, Dad returned with his family to the land he loved and resumed his passion, farming. During the seventies and eighties CB radios were widely used by farmers, and Dad's CB handle was "Colonel Wheat", which seemed appropriate both for his character and occupation. Dad became very adept at fixing things, however, he was not always the most patient man. His attitude and actions were characterized by the oft-spoken words "daut mut gonne", it has to work. His love for work and concern for people melded to form a compassionate and practical hands-on man of action. These attributes were a perfect fit for his years of involvement with the Mennonite Disaster Service. One of Mom and Dad's greatest blessings to family, friends, and the community at large was one they did not intentionally plan for when they purchased their cottage at Betula Lake in 1979.We as a family can hardly put into words what time spent at the cottage has meant to us children, and now our grandchildren. We know that many in and outside of our community have been the beneficiaries of Mom and Dad's generosity as they "rented" it to friends and their families. About 15 years ago Dad began a slow but steady decline in his health. He contracted four different kinds of arthritis, and had a number of back and neck surgeries. The relief gained was only temporary, and he was basically confined to a wheelchair for the past year. It was difficult to watch a proud, independent, and hardworking man become dependent. We have been amazed and awed at Mom's determination and ability to care for him at home, until July 27 when he entered Morris Hospital. We, as a family, are so thankful to have had a father who has modelled to us so much of our Heavenly Father. We will miss him sorely, but we also visualize Dad experiencing renewed health, energy, and release from pain as he enters his new home and meets his Saviour. The funeral service was held at the Rosenort Evangelical Mennonite Church on Sunday Aug. 31, with the burial beside his brother Dick in the Rosenort Cemetery. Arrangements by the Morris Funeral Home. If friends so desire, donations in Dad's memory may be made to the Mennonite Disaster Service. ANNE KITTLESON Anne Kittleson passed away at the LifeCare Roseau Manor on Thursday, Aug. 14, 2008, at the age of 88 years. Anne was born in Sprague, MB on March 30, 1920 to John and Ida (Haakonsen) Kittleson. Her older brother and sister, Chester and Selma, along with her parents have preceded her in death. Anne received her education in Sprague, finishing her high school and nurse's training in Winnipeg, MB. She immigrated to the United States following her nurse's education and worked in Roseau, MN for Dr. David O. Berge for three years before joining two RN friends to work as surgery nurses in Detroit, Michigan. Returning to Minnesota after a year they worked in Minneapolis hospitals, after which two responded to a call from New Ulm Union Hospital as surgery nurses, where they worked for ten years. In 1960, Anne had to interrupt her course in anesthesia in Minneapolis in favor of a less stressful field in Public Health, due to warning signs of multiple sclerosis. She attended the University of Minnesota for a major in that field and then graduated from the University of Dubuque, Iowa with a major in school health. She worked for the remainder of her career in the New Ulm Minnesota School District, retiring in 1986. While living in New Ulm in 1950, Anne made her decision to ask Jesus Christ to be Lord of her life. She was active in church life and was instrumental in establishing the First Baptist Church of New Ulm. Beginning in 1986, Anne spent seven of her earlier retirement years in caring for the final life needs of a Norwegian first cousin marine engineer. Haakon had been brought to the United States in 1942 during WW II after having been torpedoed in a British supply convoy in the Atlantic. Since Norway was occupied by Germany, he would not go there so he chose to stay in the U.S. where he joined the U.S. Navy. He moved to Minneapolis from New York in 1986 and died there in 1993; he is buried in Sprague along with his Aunt Ida's family. Anne lived in Minneapolis for six years prior to moving to Roseau in June 2006 in order to help her sister Selma at the Oak Crest Assisted Living facility. Selma passed away in September 2007.
