BIRTHDAY 100th BIRTHDAY OBITUARY John Wiebe On February 18th, suddenly, our dad John Wiebe breathed his last breath and went to be with Jesus Christ his Saviour. He was recently diagnosed with ALS and with his passing, he has been relieved of his increasing daily struggles. Dad would have turned 80 on April 14th. He was predeceased by his loving wife Helena. He is survived by his two children Alex (and Darlene Wiebe) and Wendy (and Mark Green) and six grandchildren, Matthew (Wiebe), Emily (Green), Madelaine (Green), Brianna (Wiebe), Timothy (Green) and Samuel (Green). He is also survived by six younger brothers (Cornie, Peter, Abe, Bernie, Menno, Alvin) their families, numerous in-laws and their families. Dad was involved in many lives through his passion for helping and fi xing. Through volunteering with Crestview Fellowship Church, Teulon New Life Church, Union Gospel Mission, St. John Ambulance, and other local community organizations, his generosity and willing servant heart will be remembered. The family was humbled and blessed by the support from the ALS Society of Manitoba who rallied to provide him with as much care as possible in his last days. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to Union Gospel Mission or the ALS Society of Manitoba.

Jim made the decision to have You are our inspiration. a grueling surgery to try and come out the other side with a BIRTHDAY -Love from your family refurbished heart that would give him more time with his beloved family. He fought a heroic battle but sadly it was not the outcome we all hoped for. IN MEMORIAM Jim was born in a two-room log cabin near Camper, MB in 1940 to Lillian and Tom Gray. He was the eldest of six children. He grew up on the farm, no running water or electricity, helping his parents and getting into mischief. As a toddler he played around the farmyard with his pet pig who wore a bell so his mom could locate them both. His fi rst trip to the “big city” of Winnipeg allowed him to see streetlights for the fi rst time to which he excitedly exclaimed “Look at all the moons, Dad! Look at all the moons!” His parents and siblings moved to Winnipeg when he was 12. He later joined the Royal Canadian Navy and set out to see the world. He met the love of his life; Ann Marie in Nova Scotia and they were married in 1960. They celebrated their 60th anniversary last year in March. Jim and Ann adopted their daughter, Wanda, in 1974. She could not have asked for more supportive and loving parents. Jim was always looking to become better and learn new skills. He was amazingly curious about everything from nature to astronomy. He trained to get his fi xed-wing plane licence and then his helicopter pilot’s licence. He made a far-ranging career including fl ying in Canada’s Arctic tagging polar bears, owning his own helicopter company outside of Calgary and later training a new generation of helicopter students in Manitoba. He was always the most positive and cheerful person in the room. He never missed a chance to support his family and make their day special. Whether that was taking them up for a helicopter ride or cheering at sports game or remembering to send a birthday card. He was always thinking of others. When his grandchildren were born, he took that to a whole new level. There may have never been a prouder Grandfather in the history Aidan Dean Shymko of Grandfathers! He loved his grandkids more than anything. Happy 17th birthday! Jim was very active with the local Stonewall Royal Canadian Legion Branch #52, serving most We can remember when you were the little boy recently as the Vice-President and in the Colour Party. He was also a member of the Masons for who showed us how to get the most fun out Colleen Oughton June 18, 1953 – February 28, 2019 many years. He had many dear friends in both organizations. of life.
