Ben Loewen 1923-2006

Ben Loewen, grandfather to Craig Loewen who works in my office, died suddenly on August 8 . I was in Morden Saturday afternoon to attend the memorial service.

A farmer for many years in the Mather-Cartwright area of southern Manitoba, Ben Loewen believed strongly in the importance of family.

At the service, Craig spoke fondly of a recent fishing trip with his grandfather. He encouraged others to be sure to spend time with their grandparents. Such time is precious.
