Cornie P. Fehr was born October 17, 1932 to Peter and Sarah (Siemens) Fehr near Hague on the farm. He passed away on February 28, 2010.
Cornie was predeceased by his parents, seven brothers and four sisters.
He is survived by his loving wife Sarah; five children: Ernest, Joan (Don) Friesen, Irvin, Connie (Russ) Neufeld, Sid (Nicole); nine grandchildren: Quinton, Sherri, Nolan, Rochelle, Natasha (Guy), Tiara, Taitum, Branden and Clayton; and four great grandchildren: Senin, Sadryn, Saris and Grady. He is also survived by two brothers Ben (Mary) and George, and two sisters Anne Hiebert and Tena Olfert.
Cornie and Sarah farmed east of Hague all their married lives. After selling the dairy, he worked at Hague Hardware for several years. Here he met many more friends delivering furniture.
During his retirement years, while still living on the farm, he loved going for coffee, going for drives and playing table games with everyone.
He loved to tease his kids and grandkids, and tell them stories of “the good old days” when he enjoyed riding his horses. His love for horses stayed with him to the end.
Here are some fond memories from the grandchildren:
Quinton – being greeted by “good day” (in German) and a firm hand shake.
Rochelle – her and grandparents in the vehicle and when seeing a plane her saying, “The plane…the plane!”
Sherri – Grandpa’s false teeth never being in his mouth, but anywhere in the house.
Natasha – When she watched movies with Grandpa, especially where campfires and beans were involved; they replayed it and laughed endlessly.
Nolan – When the grandkids were young they got many rides on the lawn mower with Grandpa.
Branden – When everyone was home for dinner Grandpa got out the table insert which he made, it was six inches wide which he thought would fit two more people.
Clayton – Cheating on purpose to make sure someone would catch him while doing it.
Dad never liked long goodbyes.
The house will be empty without him; and we are thankful for having known him.
