I only knew him as Grandpa. He instilled his knowledge and work ethic within all of us. He taught me how to use a hammer - building Dave Couper's home near Myrnam, Alberta.
I drove his Delta 88 by myself down all the dirt roads I could find - going faster than I should have. He probably never knew that I borrowed it. When we drove home back to Edmonton together he let me drive and told me that I was a good driver!! I was 15 at the time. I never told him how fast that Romanian tractor of his could go.

My memories of Brother Wiggins go back to Amber Valley when he would visit our church. He was always a humble man. So nice he lived to be 100 yrs. His life was well lived.

I am so sorry to read about the loss of your father. He made it to the 100 milestone! No matter what it is never easy to lose a parent. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time Carole. I hope you are well and look forward to seeing you at our 50th reunion in May. Marlene Grinde (Ulmer)

We have fond memories of Norman & Laura, dating back to the 70s when we were neighbours. They looked after our son Aaron while we worked and treated us like family. We last visited Norman in his high rise apartment. He always had a positive attitude and a good sense of humour. Thinking of you as you celebrate his life.
