The service was a wonderful time uplifting music (Dad's favorites), worship of God and remembering Dad. The Gospel was clearly preached by Tim Counts, using some sources written by Dad.
Jenna and Sabra were our guest book hostesses.
Marsha & Jonathan enjoy some conversation with Uncle Gene, Dad's brother who traveled out from Iowa. His friend Jerry pictured above drove him out to attend the memorial.

Jon, Holly, David and Tim sang "And Can It Be?"
Wes Sorstokke sang one of Dad's favorite songs, "Ship Ahoy"
Dan led the congregation in "Blessed Assurance", "Satisfied" and "Alone in Christ"

Sonya shared some memories.
Tim Neufeld shared memories.
Don Dibble shared his memories.
Others also shared memories that are not pictured.
Tim gave the message titled, "From Life's First Cry to Final Breath, Jesus Commands My Destiny" using some of Dad's own writings, and selected Scriptures from Romans 8. It was an extremely clear presentation of the Gospel. Dad would have wanted it that way.
Everything about the service would have been exactly what Dad would have wanted.

Please feel free to add memories in the comment sections. I am moderating all comments and will copy and paste them into a new post so they don't get lost in the comments sections.
If you remember any quaint sayings my Dad used to say, please send them to me. I would like to make a post of his funny sayings.
