We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Neil (Cornelius) Friesen. Born in his grandparents' farm house in Southern Manitoba to Abram and Helen Friesen. He married the love of his life, his wife Elfrieda (Enns) August 1961.
Neil began his working career at Stelco, Hamilton, On, followed by years of mechanical maintenance and sales. He taught mechanical maintenance at SAIT, Calgary, Alta.
He was involved in several mission outreaches and served as Chaplain for The Gideons and Lighthouse Harbour Ministries in Prince Rupert, BC.
He enjoyed travelling with Elfrieda and viewing the beauty of nature, reading, writing and singing.
He is survived by his wife Elfrieda, son David, son Darryl (Karen), grandchildren Tyler and Logen, brother Jim (Bernice) and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family gratefully acknowledges the kind service and care provided by Dr. Wooldridge and Dr. Carter, and all staff members at Simon Fraser Lodge.
