Hallman, Eli S. (1866-1955)

"Eli S. Hallman: minister and bishop of the Sharon Mennonite Church at Guernsey, Saskatchewan. Field Secretary for Goshen College, and bishop in congregations in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, was born 26 February 1866 in Waterloo, Ontario, and died at Akron, Pennsylvania, on 25 August 1955. He married Melinda Clemens (18 May 1873-12 February 1956) on 9 April 1893. They were the parents of five children.

Hallman joined the Methodist church in Ontario at the age of 21, but joined the Mennonite Church following a revival conducted by the Mennonite evangelist, J. S. Coffman. He was ordained as a minister at the First Mennonite Church in Kitchener, Ontario on 17 June 1897. During the first seven years of his ministry, he spent the greater part of his time conducting evangelistic services in Ontario and parts of the United States. Then, in 1905, he agreed to accompany a group of Mennonites who were moving West to the Quill Lake Mennonite Reserve in Saskatchewan. He served as the minister of the new Mennonite congregation at Guernsey, Saskatchewan, and in 1907 he was ordained in Ontario as a bishop to have oversight of the newly organized Alberta-Saskatchewan Mennonite Conference .

In western Canada, and later in the southern United States, Hallman demonstrated love and acceptance of ministers of other denominations, especially the General Conference ministers of nearby communities. He was also a strong supporter and became a member of the Canadian Mennonite Board of Colonization which facilitated the immigration of more than twenty-thousand Mennonites from the Soviet Union to Canada in the 1920s. His openness to other Mennonite groups brought him many invitations to take part in special services, but he never apologized for the practices of his own congregation and conference. He tried to be firm and exercise redemptive love, and was biblical in his teaching. He greatly enjoyed teaching in the district winter Bible schools which he strongly supported.

Hallman accepted an appointment to serve as Field Secretary of Goshen College in 1912, but in 1916 the family moved to Grand Bay, Alabama, for health reasons, and a little later to Allemands, Louisiana, where he assisted in the formation of a new congregation. The family returned to Guernsey, Saskatchewan, in 1919, where he again served the Sharon Mennonite Church until 1928 when the Hallman family, again for health reasons, moved to Falfurrias and later in 1932 to Tuleta, Texas. There he served congregations in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas as bishop until his retirement in 1951. Throughout his life he demonstrated a great interest in evangelism and in missions. Two of his five children became missionaries in Argentina. After his retirement he lived in Akron, Pennsylvania, where he died on 25 August 1955 at the age of 89."

Hallman, -- Eli S. , son of the late Abraham and Mary (Schmitt) Hallman, was born Feb. 25, 1866, in Waterloo Co., Ont. ; entered into rest Aug. 25, 1955, at his home in Akron, Pa. , after an illness of eight weeks; aged 89 y. 6 m. On April9, 1893, he was married to Melinda Clemens, who shared with him life's joys and sorrows for 62 years. He accepted Christ as his Saviour in his youth and united with the Mennonite Church. Throughout his life he served the Lord faithfully and his consecrated service to the Church brought the blessings of a rich and fruitful ministry. On June 17, 1898, at the age of 31, he was ordained to the Christian ministry at the First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, Ont. His early years in the ministry (from 1897 to 1907) were spent in evangelistic and missionary activities as well as in Bible conference work in various sections of the Church. He retained this deep interest in missionary endeavors throughout his entire life. In 1905 he helped to establish a Mennonite settlement in the western part of Canada near Guernsey, Sask. In May of that year a congregation was organized which became known as the Sharon Mennonite Church. He preached the first sermon for the homesteaders in Deacon Aaron Biehn's tent on May 7, 1905, using Heb.11: 8-10 as his text. Besides taking care of his regular Sunday preaching appointments he spent much of that first year at Saskatchewan in locating homesteads and lands for settlers as well as assisting the new settlers in setting up their homesteads. Because of his busy life of service in behalf of others during these days, his neighbors offered by turns to plow the ten acres on his homestead which were required for homestead duties. In November of 1907, he was ordained as bishop by the Ontario Conference to have the oversight of the newly organized Alberta-Saskatchewan Conference. Later he served as field secretary for Goshen College between the years of 1912 and 1916. Because of health reasons he and his family moved to Grand Bay, Ala. , in 1916 and later to Allemands, La., where he assisted in the formation of a new Mennonite congregation. In 1920, it became possible for him and his family to return tothe Guernsey section of Saskatchewan and the Sharon congregation where he served the Alberta-Saskatchewan Conference until 1928. In that year he took up residence in Falfurrias and later Tuleta, Texas, where he remained until his retirement in 1951. For these twenty-three years he served as bishop in congregations in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Since his retirement he lived in Akron, Pa. , and was a member of the Monterey Mennonite Church. He served on the Mennonite Publication Board and the Mennonite Board of Education. During the early 1920's he was a member of the Colonization Board of Canada. Because of his wide experience and sound Christian judgment he was bale to give guidance and counsel which have been greatly appreciated by younger men in the ministry. He maintained a Church-wide interest and up to the year before his death he was present in district conference sessions. Surviving are his wife, Melinda Clemens Hallman, and these children (George B., White Fox, Sask.; William E., Argentina, S. A. ; Abram P., Akron, Pa; and Anna-Mrs. B. Frank Byler, Argentina, S. A. The eldest son (Clemens) preceded him in death in 1927. Also surviving are 2 sisters (Sarah of Josiah Cassel, Preston, Ont.; and Lucinda-Mrs. Ephraim Snider, Kitchener, Ont.), one brother (J. Riley Hallman, Toronto, Ont.) , 14 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held Aug. 27 at the Monterey Mennonite Church, Lancaster Co., Pa., with Amos S. Horst and Maurice W. Landis officiating. A further service was held Aug. 29 in the Cressman Mennonite Church Breslau, Ont., conducted by Oscar Burkholder, Lewis Fretz, and others. Interment was made in the Cressman Church Cemetery.

Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Cassel 3rd Oldest Married Couple

Lifelong Residents of New Dundee District 52 Years Married (By Chronicle Correspondent) New Dundee

the third oldest married couple in this district, Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Cassel observed their 52nd wedding anniversary quietly at their home on Front St. on Thursday, Jan. 5th, Mr. and Mrs. Cassel have been life-long residents of this community although they have only resided in the village for the past 22 years after retiring from farming on the land now owned by Cameron Bock, three and one-half miles west of here. Previous to that they farmed on the old Cassel homestead, one mile west of the village which is now owned by Ervin Sararas.

Among their recollections of early farm life, Mr. Cassel recalls how he and numbers of other farmers in the district teamed wood to Galt a distance of twelve miles during the winter months, when wood was practically the only fuel in use. Mrs. Cassel also remembers how she made quantities of farmer's cheese for which there was always a ready market in the surrounding towns.

Mr. and Mrs. Cassel have enjoyed travelling, during their 52 years of married life. Their wedding trip was spent in Pennsylvania and in later years they visited Michigan at various times and also travelled to the Canadian West in 1919.

Mr. Cassel vividly recalls attending the Chicago World's fair in 1893 as well as a trip to Alberta in 1900 when the West was still sparsely settled. He remembers that a single shed was the only building on the site where the town of Didsbury is now located. Even during the past year Mr. and Mrs. Cassel made a trip to Montreal, Que., where they visited the latter's brother, Mr. Abram S. Hallman, who was the best man at their wedding in 1887.

Mrs. Cassel who celebrated her 71st birthday on Christmas Day was formerly Sarah Ann Hallman, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Abram S. Hallman, Sr., and Mr. Cassel who is 82 years of age was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jesse B. Cassel. They were united in marriage by Rev. Jacob Bowman, one-time pastor of the United Brethren Church at New Dundee. Mrs. Cassel has been closely associated in the work of this church for many years and only recently resigned as teacher in the Sunday School after having completed 21 consecutive years of teaching. Mr. and Mrs. Cassel have four children living, 16 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Their many friends wish them continued health and happiness.

HALLMAN. - On the 26th of Jan., 1891, in Blenheim Twp., Oxford Co., Ont., Amos Hallman, aged 21 years, 2 days. On the 25th, he attended services in the Blenheim church and on the way home, Amos with 4 of his comrades stood in the rear end of the sled. The team, having gone over a piece of bare ground, and being suddenly relieved on the heavy load on striking a piece of good road, caused the sled to lurch forward, and several of the boys fell out. Amos fell on his head, causing concussion of the brain. He was conscious only a few moments and in a short time a corpse. "What is man that thou art mindful of him." What a lesson of warning to his neighbors, comrades, brothers, and sisters. May all take it to heart and prepare to meet their God in peace. Bro. And Sister Hallman have the warm sympathies of the friends and neighbors. This was the largest funeral ever held in the Blenheim church. Services by Joseph Nahrgang and J. S. Coffman, from Matt. 20: 19, and 1 Peter 1: 24

"Mother was tired and weary,
Weary with toil and with pain;
Put by her glasses and rocker,
She will not need them again.
Into heaven's mansions she's entered,
Never to sigh or to weep;
After short years with life's struggles
Mother has fallen asleep."

Hallman - Clemens S. oldest son of Eli and Melinda Clemens Hallman, was born at Kitchener, Ont., June 11, 1895; died at St. Paul,s Hospital, Saskatoon, of inflammatory rheumatism and heart failure, after an illness of over five weeks; aged 32 y. 2 m. 12 d. On June 19, 1919, he was married to Cleo Shearer of Wakarusa, Ind. To this union were born 4 children: one whom died in infancy. The family who mourn this loss are his beloved wife, two daughters, one baby son, his parents, three brothers (George, William, Abram). And one sister (Anna), besides his relatives and a host of friends. During the first evangelistic meetings held in this part of the country by Bro. A. D. Wenger in the pioneer days of this district, he became the first convert to Christ, at the age of 11, and was later baptized and received into the Mennonite Church of which he was a member till death. In the year 1915 he graduated with the academy class at Goshen College. He later continued his studies at Saskatchewan University. For a few years he taught public school and in college; but the most of his secular profession was devoted to the education work for the Department of Agriculture in the Province. In the days of his sickness he sincerely regretted that he did not give more of his devotion to the cause of Christ, and trusting anew in the mercy of God realized Hid pardon, and rejoiced in hope of the glory of God. In the last days of suffering, as the end drew nearer heaven became dearer, and the things of time were fading away. Our loss is his eternal gain. Funeral services were held at the Sharon Mennonite Church, conducted by I. S. Rosenberger, M. H. Schmitt (text. Psa. 90: 12), and Edwin Bartel (text, Lam. 1: 12).

Island man looks back on 100 years lived to the fullest

BY JACQUELYN LEWIS, The Island Packet (Beaufort, South Carolina)

Published Monday, December 12, 2005

Abe Hallman recently pulled off a feat that has earned him countless congratulations, a mountain of greeting cards and a mention on the Today Show. He turned 100 years old on Thursday. "It's like a dream," Hallman said, his warm, gentle features lighting up as he recalled watching Willard Scott telling him "happy birthday" on television. "It doesn't seem real."

But Hallman's daughter, Joanne Hallman Dahl, said the accolades aren't just because her father, who moved to Hilton Head Island in September, has become a centenarian. Instead, she said, the cards and congratulations are kudos for a lifetime of love and service to others.
Hallman helped organize Mennonite Mutual Aid in the 1940s, an organization that helps Mennonite church members obtain affordable insurance. For about 20 years, he spent his spare time traveling the country to volunteer with the organization. Hallman also helped start a church organization that aids missionaries in their travels, and he founded a Mennonite church in Lancaster County, Pa.
Dahl said Hallman, now a grandfather of seven and a great-grandfather of six, also approached fatherhood with the same dedication, becoming a "kindred spirit" to his children.

"(My father) is basically kind of a shy person, but he is so well loved by everyone," Dahl said. "He loves serving and helping people."
Hallman's commitment to helping others dates back to his upbringing in the Mennonite church, he said.
Hallman was born in 1905 in the tiny farming town of Berlin, in Ontario, Canada, and his father, Eli Hallman, was a minister and wheat farmer. Hallman's mother, Melynda, ran the household.

"Those were very happy years, as I remember," said Hallman, who grew up with a younger sister and three older brothers.
"We did farm work; we milked cows and worked in the fields, and this was before you had machines for harvesting," Hallman reminisced from a cushy chair in his small, tidy room at Broad Creek Care Center. "I worked hard, but I was a very happy teenager."
Still, Hallman said, most people in Berlin never went to high school, let alone college. And the farming life wasn't enough to satisfy a young man who dreamed of becoming a stockbroker.

Hallman said his oldest brother, Clemens, was his inspiration to strive for excellence, because Clemens graduated from high school and worked for the government in Canada.

Hallman found a Mennonite school in Indiana where he could earn his high school diploma, and after that, he enrolled at Goshen College, where he earned a bachelor's degree in business and science.

But upon graduation, Hallman said, the Great Depression dashed his hopes of becoming a stockbroker. "It was 1931," he said. "I would have really liked to sell stocks or futures, but there were no jobs in finance." He ended up working for a "huckster" -- a produce farmer who went door to door selling his wares -- for a year. "I rode beside him and carried the basket with some sweet cream butter, eggs and maybe a chicken," Hallman said. Job prospects weren't much better the next year, he said, and he spent 12 months loading trucks and filling out paperwork for a pork processing plant. "There wasn't a future in that," Hallman said. "But it was a job."

He was about 30 when he fell in love with a college friend, Esther Yoder. Hallman and Yoder kindled a romance after they met again at a Goshen College reunion. "We were friends in college, but after the reunion, I saw her in a different light," Hallman said. The two were married on Christmas in 1936. They went on to have two children, Jim and Joanne.

Shortly before he got married, Hallman took a job as a traveling shoe salesman at the now-defunct Miller, Hess and Company. "Selling was the last thing I ever thought I wanted to do," Hallman said. "But it was a job, so I took it." Hallman managed to parlay that job into a 51-year career, in which he traveled the country selling shoes and worked his way up to company president and chairman of the board of directors.

And, despite his initial doubts, he said he ended up enjoying his career. He got to see the entire United States, and in between working and volunteering with his church, he took his family on vacations to places like New York City. "I've never in my whole life had an 8-hour a day job where I had to sit at a desk," he said. "That's unusual."

Hallman also developed some unusual talents over the years. He picked up woodcarving when he was in his 70s. He learned to sculpt detailed figures such as cowboys and Santas from blocks of basswood after he saw a wood carving display in a Phoenix, Ariz. mall.
"That was on a Wednesday," he said, the meticulous fruits of his more than 20 years of labor dotting the dresser and tables in his room. "I took a (wood carving) class on Friday, and I was hooked. It must have been working with my hands and the details that I liked. Apparently, I had an ability that very few people have."

He also learned to make hook rugs after his second wife, Lois, got involved with the hobby. "At first I said, 'absolutely not,'" Hallman said with a laugh. "But then I was watching her, and I got hooked."

Although Hallman said he has slowed down a bit since approaching 100, he brought both hobbies with him when he moved to Broad Creek Care Center from Goshen, Ind., to be closer to his daughter. He also walks, lifts weights and does crossword puzzles every day. "I've had a good life," he said. "But it hasn't all been a bed of roses."

He said he had to face the death of his first wife, Esther, in 1972 -- he married a second time, to Esther's sister, Lois, in late 1973 -- and the death of his only son, Jim, when Jim was in his 40s. Then, Lois died in 1994. But Hallman said he's been able to get through the tough times by drawing on his faith and his ability to adapt to any situation. "You can always begin again," daughter Dahl said. "And he always has."

Birth date: Dec. 8, 1905.
Hails from: Berlin (now Kitchener), Ontario, Canada.

Greatest life lesson: "I have a philosophy that I call 'go with the flow.' You can try to change something you dislike, so you fight it and try to keep everything going as it was. But when a river is dammed, it has no outlet and it tends to get stagnant."

Lyle Hallman death

WATERLOO, Ont. -- The University of Waterloo family is saddened today by the tragic loss of Lyle Hallman, one of the Kitchener-Waterloo community's leading philanthropists and a great friend of the University.

Over the last decade, Lyle Hallman and his family generously supported the University of Waterloo, beginning with a donation for an endowment in the UW Library.

Later, several large donations to the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences made possible, first the creation of the Lyle S. Hallman Institute for Health Promotion and, more recently, the expansion of that facility. The Institute sponsors research and outreach programs to promote healthy living.

"Lyle was a tremendous friend to the University of Waterloo and a joy to be with," said president David Johnston. "He appreciated the vital reasons for advancing research into the kinds of health-related areas engaged in by the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences."
"He took great delight in helping UW and the community and will be greatly missed. But his legacy as a community builder will endure," Johnston said.

Past president James Downey had many associations with Hallman. "The University has lost a splendid benefactor and our K-W community has lost one of its finest citizens. He combined great business acumen with an admirable social conscience. Along with others, I was delighted when he was admitted to the Order of Canada. I feel privileged to have known him."

Mike Sharratt, dean of the Faculty of Applied health Sciences, said: "Lyle Hallman demonstrated an unparalleled generosity of spirit for helping children achieve a healthy lifestyle. We will honour that spirit through our research and teaching within the Lyle S. Hallman Institute for Health Promotion at UW." <sup>1a

June 10, 2003 Hallman sells rental empire.

Waterloo- ON - June 10, 2003 - It's the end of an era for the area's biggest landlords. Lyle and Wendy Hallman are getting out of the rental business. The basic, affordable block-style Hallman buildings that sprang up across the landscape over the decades and housed tens of thousands of people are being sold in one huge, multi-million-dollar real-estate deal. Wendy Hallman, 53 president of Hallman Property Management, confirmed yesterday that she and her husband Lyle, 81, are selling all of their more than 3,000 rental apartment units in 63 buildings. She wouldn't disclose the sum but it has been described as the biggest real-estate transaction ever for this area. The name of the buyer won't be made official until the superintendents have been informed. But it's known the deal is with an out-of-town company that owns apartment buildings in this area. The decision to sell the entire residential rental business came about quickly, Wendy Hallman said. When a buyer emerged who wanted all of the buildings, "that made it a very nice package," she said.

For more than 20 years, the Hallmans have lived in a unit in one of their apartment buildings in Waterloo. So, as of July 3, when the deal closes, "we'll be tenants for the first time," she said. Lyle Hallman described the sale as "a very successful ending to something I've been involved in for a lot of my life." It was the right deal at the right time, he said. But Hallman was adamant he has no intention of retiring, even if he is out of the rental business. He will still develop vacant properties for building lots and has office space on Victoria Street North to continue that part of the business. He also still owns a small commercial plaza and is busy with philanthropic endeavours. "I'll be in the office every day," he said. Wendy Hallman, who has worked for Lyle for 29 years and has run the property management side of the business in recent years, said "He still tires me out…I don't think he'll ever retire." Hallman's father was a general contractor in the Preston section of Cambridge. His business crashed in 1929. That didn't deter Lyle, who started his own business with $750 in 1945 after serving in the Second World War. He began by renovating buildings, then buying land and building houses.

He built his first apartment building in 1966 and kept on building. "I didn't know enough to stop," he said. The buildings sprung up not only in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph but also in smaller communities such as Elmira, New Hamburg, Fergus, Hanover, and Listowel. "We had millions of dollars of mortgage money in it but I just kept paying the mortgages down," Hallman said. The business grew until he had, at one point, about 4,000 units. His son, Tom, in Cambridge, started his own property management business and bought about 800 of the units. "Another son, Peter, was also prominent builder developer but died in a motorcycle accident in 1999. Hallman's daughter-in-law and two other children run seniors' homes. Hallman prided himself on building "housing for the masses." He built units geared to the average working person. The signature Hallman buildings are solid, square and basic yet clean and well maintained. "When I started, I had one thought in mind: There are more Chevrolets on this road than there are Cadillacs," Hallman said. Realtor John Whitney said Hallman has left a significant and lasting footprint in this area. "If you grew up in this area, chances are, you've lived in a Hallman building or you've had friends and family members who have lived in a Hallman building," Whitney said. "He didn't build the Taj Mahal but what he built was high quality and he maintained the buildings impeccably." As other investors were turning apartments into condominiums Hallman was adding to the area's rental housing stock. "He provided an infrastructure that allowed the region to grow," Whitney said. "It would be hard to get the employee base we have and get accommodation for those workers without the units he built. What he built is an important as a road network or an expressway."

Hallman's legacy is more than buildings. He's also been one of the area's most generous philanthropists. Recent donations include $1.5 million to the K-W Health Centre, $500,000 to the Fairview Mennonite Home in Cambridge, $500,000 for a pool that bears the Hallman name in Kitchener's Stanley Park area, and $1 million to the K-W Community Foundation. At a groundbreaking ceremony today, the Hallman's will launch an addition to the Lyle S Hallman Institute for Health Promotion, based at the University of Waterloo. Hallman said that with the proceeds from this sale, he will likely be able to do even more philanthropy. "I've got enough energy left to just keep going. There's a silver dollar at the end of every day," he said. He added that he does have a hobby outside his work; he's been an avid cross-stitcher for 25 years. "I always get up early (about 5 a.m.) and I can do an hour or two of sewing," he said. "I get a great satisfaction out of this because I don't have the TV on and I keep on sewing while I am thinking." Whitney said Hallman has shown people what one person can build. "I don't know of any more wonderful story than the Lyle Hallman story.

Business founder dies of injuries from crash Richard Schiedel was 'visionary'
by Brent Davis, Record staff

Cambridge - The man who nurtured and grew his fledgling sod business into one of the largest in the province has died, five weeks after being critically injured in a car crash. Richard Schiedel, the founder of the Greenhorizons Group of Farms, died suddenly Saturday at Hamilton General Hospital. He was 78. The May 30 head-on collision on Highway 8 claimed the life of a 32-year-old woman from Troy, Ont. at the scene; Schiedel was airlifted to hospital. His condition had improved such that family members were preparing for him to return home in the coming days. "We thought we were on the road to recovery," said his son, Steve. Now, Schiedel's wife, Shirley, their four children Ron, Diane, Connie and Steve, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are preparing to say good-bye. Growing up in a farming family, Richard Schiedel was an innovator from the start. "He was a very forward thinker," said Ron, who has run Greenhorizons with Steve since their father's retirement in 1989. "He travelled the world to look for and find these ideas." He demonstrated that liquid nitrogen could be used in Ontario on a corn crop. He was among the pioneers in the topsoil delivery business, putting his trucks to work early in the season when the sod side of the firm was coming out of its winter slumber. Now, the company Richard founded in Cambridge in 1975 as Compact Sod also includes a mobile storage business and even a golf course in Hamilton. "He was a visionary," Steve said, "and he did what he could to encourage us." And he gave his sons the opportunity to make decisions - whether good or bad. "He let me make mistakes, even if they were costly," said Ron. "He knew I had to make them to learn." Even in his retirement, Richard Schiedel remained active in his business, and in his involvement with numerous industry, community and faith associations. An avid reader, he embraced the internet in recent years as a research tool. A family man, he always made time to support his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A bit of a sportsman, too, he got into fishing in his later years. Visitation will be held Wednesday from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at the Henry Walser Funeral Home in Kitchener, with a funeral Thursday at 1 p.m. at Preston Mennonite Church.

A Tribute by David Barrie at Richard Schiedel's Memorial Service, July 8, 2010

What a privilege to be invited to speak about my long-time friend, Dick Schiedel. 60 years…..and we have done some fun things together. Also, we have some close connections---Shirley lived one mile north of the school (Dickie Settlement) and I lived one mile south----I enjoyed having their four kids in my 4-H club.

1954 \endash the first time the International Ploughing Match was in Waterloo County and Dick and I were in charge of the Junior Farmer tent. Dick said, "with all the potatoes grown here, let's serve potato soup!" I said, "sure, and I have the big iron kettle to make it in." To advertise, we hung purple/gold signs on every tractor pulling the wagon rides. We also put jingle signs on every highway leading to the Breslau site. "Come alone, or come in a group and have some hot, potato soup." The weather balloon we were going to fly so people could find us, never arrived in time.

Now if you believe your success in life depends on making mistakes, and making them early, then I think I am partly responsible for his great success in business. We struck out! The highway department took down all our road signs\emdash the health department shut down our soup operation. To top it off, Hurricane Hazel destroyed everything on Friday night.

Notes:

"Bill" or "Buck" passed away at St.Mary's Hospital, Kitchener on Sunday, February 13th in his 86th year, with congestive heart failure.

Beloved husband of the late Erla Elaine (Lederman) after 54 years of marriage: dear father of Scott and his wife Janet, Elizabeth Wing and her husband Paul, Cathy Plomske and her husband Grant, all of Waterloo, son-in-law David Schwalm and his wife Lynda of Parry Sound.; loving grandfather of Luke (Tara) and Kristina Schwalm, Emily, Kate and James Uffelman, Elysse and Todd Wing, Adam, John and Heidi Plomske and Jon-David and Amy Schwalm. Special great-grandfather to Suzy Schwalm, and many dear nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents, Orley and Minota, wife Erla,( 2001), and his loving daughter Susan Schwalm (1986).

Buck was a gifted athlete playing ball for the Waterloo Tigers and hockey for the Siskins at age 15. He left both to join the RCAF at 17. He was proud to be in the service during the war and told many stories of his enlisted time. He later coached the Waterloo Midget Hockey team to their first ever Ontario final. He was a founding member and trustee of Parkminster United Church, Waterloo. While he was a member of the Waterloo Park Board he helped acquire Bechtel Park, Parkview Cemetery and the Canbar Lands for Waterloo Park. He also served as a PUC commissioner for more than 12 years, leading the polls in every election he ran in. During his tenure, Waterloo North Hydro was born and new headquarters were built on Northfield Dr. He was very proud to be from Waterloo and marveled at its tremendous growth.

He will be sadly missed by his entire extended family including his four dear sisters, Elinor Martin, Phyllis Turner, Barbara Joan Schutts (Al), and Peggy Biederman (Glenn) and his brother, friend and business partner, Jim (Denise). Also brother-in-law, Dick Meunier.He will be greatly missed by special friends, Jim Huck, Frederick Uffelmann, Bette Goman and Ron Berger. Bill loved his family and friends.

In younger years, Bill curled but in later years golf became his passion. He was a life long member of Westmount Golf & Country Club \endash claiming his first hole- in- one at the age of 75. He helped form the Rainbow Ridge Golf Course near his summer home in Manitowaning, Manitoulin Island. His grandsons were special to him whether they were playing golf together or talking about life. He loved them dearly and they valued their relationship with a very wise man.

After his service duty, he joined his father and brother, Jim, at the Ontario Seed Company. Following his father's death in 1963, Jim and Bill expanded and grew the company. Buck loved the seed company and everyone who worked there. It was a true joy for him to come to work and he continued to do so until his death. His son, Scott and daughters Elizabeth and Cathy are an integral part of the company and were fortunate to be able to spend every day with their father. OSC has continued to grow and it was with great joy for Buck that it has become a true family business as many of the grandchildren have worked at OSC during their summer vacations making it a 5th generation business. His granddaughters were very special to him. They were his pride and joy and he enjoyed every moment of their visits. "We love you Poppa."

We will miss this incredible force in all our lives both family and friends. He enjoyed life and shared his love and humour and words of wisdom with everyone.

Bill's family will receive friends at Erb & Good Funeral Home, 171 King St. S, Waterloo on Thursday, February 17th from 2-4 and 7-9 pm. A private family memorial service will be held on Friday, February 18th followed by a celebration of his life at Westmount Golf and Country Club at 3 pm.
