They enjoyed 28 years of farming before moving to Langham in 1971. This move did not mean retirement. Aaron was busy working on carpentry projects, delivering meals-on-wheels, helping at the New Horizon's Friendship Centre, and working for Percy Waldner at the lumberyard. He enjoyed curling until the age of 90 years. Aaron was also a personal chauffeur and school bus driver. He helped Lillian with gardening, canning, and work around the home. Aaron was a nostalgic pioneer. He loved vintage farm machinery, and attended threshing bees at various museums. Aaron moved to the Langham Senior Citizen's Home in 2002. There he appreciated the great care he received from the staff. The family express heartfelt thanks to the Langham Senior Citizen's Home, Pastor Abe Buhler, the Homemakers for preparing the fellowship lunch, the pallbearers, reader Marj Epp, the ushers and Don Sheppard and staff of Saskatoon Funeral Home. The family also expresses their gratitude for all the food, flowers, cards, kind words, and memorial donations made to the Zoar Mennonite Church Public Address System, or the Langham Senior Citizen's Home.
