Messages of Condolence

Sorry to hear of your loss. I always felt that your Dad was genuinely happy to see us neighbourhood kids and he always took the time to ask us how we were doing and how our parents were as well. A life well lived.

We will miss that beautiful smile; but rejoice that your Dad is with Jesus. Just knowing that this man loved his family so much is a blessing for us. You are in our prayers as you walk together through this time of remembrance and hope. Mary Lou and Howie

We were sorry to hear of the passing of Uncle Henry. I have such great memories of him ( and Aunt Anne ) and to think that they are now together, and together with mom and dad and all the other siblings, makes their faith all worth the while. I can just hear them all "going at it" again. May God comfort you all as you grieve his passing. Agnes and Bill Toews,Rockridge Canyon, Princeton ,B.C. Canada

I would like to extend my condolences to the Epp family on the loss of your dad, Henry. The Brkich and Epp family were neighbours for many decades. Many a time I would come over to the Epp household to see if Ron wanted to come out and play. Your dad and mom always invited me in for a chat even if Ron wasn't home. Your parents were always welcoming and I specifically remember their kindness. They always asked me about my parents, brothers and sister. I think that your dad really enjoyed the neighbourhood kids coming over to play "scrub" in your back yard (especially since we were hitting in a direction away from the house!). It also gave him a chance to have chats with other kids in the neighbourhood too. I am truly sorry for your loss.
