Uncle John Dyck

Born March 31st, 1925
Died January 21, 2010

We visited my Uncle John in December (2008) when his health was already declining. Regardless of how he felt, we had a wonderful visit with him, his son, Doug and Doug's two daughters. As it happens that was our last visit with him. He bravely fought cancer for over a year and his wish was to be in Heaven so God finally heard his prayers. His wife, Aunt Marie, passed away in November 2008 and so now they will once again be united.

Uncle John was my father's youngest brother. He is part of a set of twins. Aunt Mary, the other twin now remains the only living sibling.

Uncle John remained a bachelor for many years when he met a widower with four children. Soon a wedding followed with the lovely stylish Marie and Uncle became a father immediately. When I visited with them over the years, there were always lots of stories of children, travelling, dogs and Uncle's various jobs. They were always welcoming when I travelled to BC where they lived.

I will always have a special place in my heart for both my Uncle John and his twin sister, Aunt Mary. It is a sad day to lose another Uncle as one generation is slowly coming to an end but I am happy that their generation knew God and Jesus and knew where they would reside after death. Praise be to God!
