In his early youth he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. He united with the Pleasant Grove Mennonite Church and remained a faithful member until his death. He was very much interested in the various activities of the Church and was a regular attendant at the services whenever his health permitted. He had been in failing health for a number of years and death came after a few days illness. He will be greatly missed as a loving husband and father.

"The lights are out in the mansion of clay;
The curtains are drawn, for the dweller's away,
He silently slipped o'er the threshold of night,
To make his abode in the city of light."
