1921 - 2016
Wallace Fred Aebi, of McMinnville, Oregon, died peacefully at home December 3, 2016. He was 95 years old.
Born September 15, 1921, he was the only child of Anna (Fleischman) and Fred Aebi of Airlie, Oregon. It was there he spent his childhood, and later received his education from elementary grade level through high school in a two-room schoolhouse.
In 1942, with the start of WW II, the U.S. Army claimed the Aebi farm, along with those of the entire Airlie community, to set up Camp Adair as a training base for soldiers deploying for war, thus transforming the land's use for the war effort. The family was forced to sell their property to the Army and relocated to McMinnville, Oregon.
Father (Fred) and son (Wallace) cleared many acres of brush, dug ditches for tile, and built a pond on their 350 acres in McMinnville. Bred with a strong work ethic and equipped with business-savvy, Wallace successfully grew the farm enterprise. The McMinnville property remains a family-owned farm today.
Wallace and Margaret (Betty) (Bose) married June 25, 1950. They knew each other from childhood as neighbors in Airlie. From the day they exchanged their marriage vows to the present, they have spent 66 years together on the farm.
Together, they have been avid gardeners, growing much of their own food. They kept as many as 600 chickens and sold eggs to nearby neighbors and local businesses. Wallace raised rhododendrons, azaleas and tuberous begonias, which he sold as far away as parts of Canada. These endeavors were mere hobbies, along with rock digging, making jewelry, building model airplanes, raising bass in their pond, fishing and hiking in the mountains and sports.
The major focus of work was farming, with a focus on wheat, oats and grass seed until Wallace's retirement in 1986. In retirement, he continued to be active with the farm, assisting his son, Randal, who now runs and manages the entire operation of the farm with his son, Christopher.
Wallace was loved and admired for his kind, gentle and comfortable nature. He had spirit, too, which was so engaging! A humble man who lived a simple life, he has left an indelible impression of goodness on those who knew him. He will be missed.
Wallace is survived by his wife, Betty; his sons, Gary of Salem, Verle (Carol) of Menlo Park, California, and Randal (Nuria) of McMinnville; first granddaughter and raised as a daughter of their own, Crystal Aebi Danielson of McMinnville; seven grandchildren; and one great-granddaughter.
There will be viewings from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Thursday, December 15, and Friday, December 16, at the Chapel of Macy & Son.
A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, December 17, at First Baptist Church, followed by a reception. All those who knew him are welcome to attend. To leave condolences, visit www.macyandson.com.
