Private service will be held with interment at Southside Cemetery. Public viewing will be from 1PM-6PM on Saturday February 19, 2022 at Wiebe Funeral Chapel, Morden.
It is with much sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our husband, dad and grandpa, Henry Fehr, on Sunday February 13, 2022 at the age of 81.
Dad was born on June 24, 1940 in Winkler, Manitoba. He grew up in the Mason School District and completed his high school years at both MCI in Gretna and in Winkler. His younger years saw him involved in the 4H Dairy Club, on various ball teams with one of the fondest memories being on the Haskett Fastball team. Being on the roster of the Canadian National Fastball team in the late 50’s as shortstop and 2nd base were also huge notable moments in dads life. He loved watching and playing baseball and even on his 80th birthday, took to the field and kept up with all his grandchildren. It was a sight to see his passion for the game but mostly for his family.
Dad was a man of God and although his faith was not loud or outspoken, he was very involved in the church. He was baptized in the Glencross Church on June 23, 1963 where he attended regularly. After marrying the love of his life, Anne (Penner) on July 2, 1966, they transferred their membership to the Morden Mennonite Church which is also where they were members and had been attending ever since. Dad performed various roles within the church and was involved on numerous committees. Dad loved singing in the Morden Men’s Choir. He participated in numerous quartets and sang with the Faith and Life Choir. These brought him so much joy.
Mom and Dad farmed for 17 years before moving into town to their current residence in Morden. He was a hardworking man with a strong work ethic. Whatever his occupation, he did it wholeheartedly. He worked at the printing press until 1972 even while farming, which he started in 1969. Dad was a home care worker, a Loomis delivery driver, a dispatcher and even did some accounting for Pembina Air. His last job was with Wolfe Enterprises where he did long distance hauling.
Dad was always busy finding something to occupy his time in his retirement. Whether it was planting and watering the flowers that flooded their yard in summer, gardening, or finding as many apples as were available in the fall so that none would go to waste, he would invite any of us to join him to press the best juice that has fill our freezers for many winters. If he wasn’t watching curling or other sports on tv, he’d be found ensuring he had the cleanest driveway in town while visiting his neighbours which he truly enjoyed.
Dad was a very proud grandpa. He would never have missed a moment that involved one of his kids and when he did, he always checked to see what the score was. Always needed the details. Where his grandkids were involved, you could always find grandpa and grandma together in the stands. He was definitely their biggest fan. Missing any of their events was one of the hardest things for him these past two years.
He will be lovingly remembered and missed by his wife of 55 years, Anne; children, Lyndon (Carol), Bevin (Anita), Patrick (Krystal), grandchildren, Bailey, Rylyn, Brett (Yolanda), Lucas (Carlee), Jorja, Acoyen, Ocean and Dublin, one brother, four sisters, many brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and friends. Henry was predeceased by his parents, Henry E. and Helena and one brother, Peter in infancy.
A private service with interment at the Southside Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice. We want to thank all of those who have shown their love and concern to us as a family through this time. We do not grieve as those who have no hope because we know we will meet dad again in Heaven.
