Oh my! I got my recent copy of the Harrow News yesterday and I see that Gertie died. I went to Harrow High School with Gertie. And I occasionally saw him around town when I still lived there. A nice nice man . My sympathy on your loss. May God bless you all.

We were eight families working our share of one large farm. All family members worked as soon as they were able. We grew a variety of crops but growing tomatoes for Heinz was a big part. They were tough days but happy days. In the early days we shared Christmas eve together at Papke's. Gearge Papke would always read us the Christmas story. AS we grew older we all including Gerhard sang in Peter Riediger's choir. Eventually we all went our separate ways. Years later we heard that son John Goerzen was now working the entire farm by himself. In meeting him years later I asked him how he managed to do this. He said he did it in his spare time because he had a full time job at the Ontario government far! How things change!
We send our sincere condolences

Der Mary, John and brother John with all the family on such a sad day.
My sincere condolences. It is always sad to lose a parent, however long his life. I pray that you can celebrate the happy times in the past. I am sure you are also remembering your dear mother Sue at this time.
May your strong faith comfort you all and your knowledge that there is more joy in heaven as your parents are united with God.
Blessings,

Soooo very memories of this man - my uncle - who I loved and admired. I pray for strength for Mary and John and their loved ones. I celebrate his being reunited with his beloved wife Sue and with our Lord Savior. Uncle Gert made my life so much better. I spent years at the farm in Harrow. I gathered chicken eggs until the cows came home. LOL. My first 2 piece bathing suit - because of this man. My first perfect cassette recordings (Jesus Christ Superstar and Tommy) - because this uncle of mine was willing to dare an adaptor to his sound system. He let me drive his car even though I dented his home with it - no judgement - knew I wouldn't do that again. I think the only thing he cooked well was eggs - and they were so delicious...so many nights he and I sat at the table and talked life....Always treated my opinions with respect. This man will be missed. He was much loved by this gal. Gruss Gott Uncle Gert...Love Lynn
