      Donations to the Mennonite Central Committee may be made as expressions of sympathy, and may be made at the church or the Ratz-Bechtel Funeral Home.
      _______________

      Mr. Thaler, a seaman, was apparently on holiday when his body was found. He left the Twin City area more than 20 years ago and worked on ships around the world, making his home on the West Coast in recent years.
      He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Thaler, 656 Weber St. E, Kitchener. He will be cremated and a memorial service held in Kitchener later this week.
