The photos in this book are in no particular order, just like the memories that remind us of Abe. They are only a small example of our husband, father, grandpa and great-grandpa.

Abe Block Obituary
Abe J. Block was born to Rev. John and Mary Block on January 8. 1943, at home during a snowstorm, delivered by his father with no midwife.
Abe took his formal education in Waldheim, then he continued his education at Kelsey Institute, taking plumbing and gas pipe fitting.
On May 28, 1966, Abe married Mary Jane and they had two boys, Bentley and Dustin, and one girl, Corry. Abe and Mary Jane had their 57th anniversary in 2023.
Abe lived on the farm, where he grew up, for 78 years. He made improvements to the buildings, extending the barn to make room for the sow/weanling operation, and building his own house during the evening hours. He farmed the land until he retired in 2009. Abe continued to work maintaining the yard and buildings, cutting firewood, and doing all sorts of projects. Abe had his own plumbing warehouse and office in town. Many houses were plumbed by him in the 70s and 80s.
He enjoyed his sports, more to participate than to watch. Hockey in winter and ball in summer. Proudly he would point to the highest point of the arena rafters saying "I was up there. I bolted that together." Winter enjoyment led to snowmobiling and being on the committee to establish the Waldheim Snow Bowl leading to the Provincial Snowmobile Championships.
Abe was R.M.Coucilor for 25 years. Through the R.M. he was also part of the Parks and Recreation Board and the Agricultural Board. A charter member of the Lions Club led to many service projects. Abe enjoyed tinkering with motors making go-carts and minibikes and teaching his boys the ins and outs of mechanics.
At the age of 50, he had a series of heart attacks, which slowed down his sports participation.
Abe enjoyed his coffee time, chatting with friends. He loved having family gatherings, holidays to B.C., fishing, and camping in the plumbing van. He took on some good adventures.
We will miss you come Christmas when all the lights are on, and the gifts need to be "arranged" under the tree.

Dad loved to spend time with his family, no matter what we were doing, looking for Easter treats or cutting wood on the bush. We miss you Dad.

Abe loved the outdoors, to create with his hands and to spend time with his family and friends. He was very creative, making interesting and fun things from scraps others would have thrown away. One example is the winter slide he built from telephone poles. We spent hours sliding right beside the house. He also made frames and wall art from barn board. Abe renovated the kitchen revamping what was there and adding to make a great kitchen on a small budget. Two play houses, home made hot tub, stone and metal gates from scratch and so many more things he loved to make. These photos show just some of his work and the fun we had with Abe.
