On Sept. 24, he was taken to Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital with a ruptured appendix. For a time he seemed to be improving but God saw fit to remove him. His mind was clear to the end, and he made particular mention of many of his friends. After bidding farewell to his parents, a light appeared before him. A little later he said that the light was getting brighter and that he would soon pass on. He leaves his sorrowing parents and a sister, Katie, as well as many friends. Funeral services were held by Bro. Daniel B. M. Martin and Bro. Abram Bearinger. He was laid to rest in Martin's Mennonite Cemetery.
