It was back to the old stomping grounds for Abbotsford Senior Secondary alumni on Saturday afternoon for the “Bye-Bye Abby Day” celebration, held in honour of the school’s 51-year history before it is demolished.

Built in 1955, Abby Senior stands as Abbotsford’s oldest school and has seen more than 17,000 graduates pass through its doors, each with their own memory.

For Judy and Chester Gmur, it was where they first fell in love. “We met by the office right over there,” said Judy as she pointed down the hallway.

“And we have now been married for 43 wonderful years,” added Chester.

Michelle Klassen, a 1979 graduate, VIDLEIONE ON ws.com remembers skipping class with her abbyne friend Linda.

“I have so many memories during those times, all of them worth it.”

Edward Sawatzky, who graduated in 1962, came from a small 50-person school in Manitoba before transferring to Abby Senior (now Abbotsford Collegiate) and still remembers his first day.

“The buzzer went off to change classes and I just sat in my chair, not sure where to go or what to do,” chuckled Sawatzky. “I left my books behind, couldn’t figure out my locker combination and made it to my next class as it was ending.”

Teachers such as Eric Ratzlaff, who taught the Humanities course for 31 years, were flocked by students offering their gratitude.

Panther pride remains

From A1

Ratzlaff said. “I truly loved every single year I taught here.”

The school’s current music students serenaded guests as they walked through lines of displays showcasing all the graduating classes from 1955 to 2011.

The school’s first janitor, 96-year-old Len Hoon, stopped by to take a look at the pictures and said he recalls “all the young faces.”

The hallways were buzzing with stories of “remember when” as old classmates and teachers reunited. A signature board was set up at the entrance for former students to sign, while a basketball game between former faculty staff took place in the gym.

Lance McDonald, currently in his fifth year as principal, understands the importance of maintaining the “Panther Pride” values in the new school.

“As a past Abby grad of 1985, I know that the four years of high school are extremely significant for development,” explained McDonald. “I don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for this school, so as important as it is to create new memories, it is equally as important to preserve the old

The plan is to keep the old gym as well as feature a heritage section for old trophies and pictures.

Opening its doors in September 2012, the new Abby Collegiate, currently under construction, is one of the first schools in the province to attain a superior level of sustainable and green design by promoting energy conservation and water efficiency.

Ryan Huston of Craven Huston Powers Architect has come “full circle” by graduating from Abby Senior in 1975 to return 37 years later

to design the concept for the new school.

“Initially it was

tural perspective, the school was built in the ’50s and it was time for something new,” said Huston, who has overseen the $45 million rebuild.

“The mentality was to create a ‘learning environment for tomorrow.’”

With that in mind, a three-storey rotunda was built where students can congregate and interact with plenty of open space. Huston anticipates that the new facility will serve as a “magnet” for the community.

While the old school has had an incredible impact on its students

and staff, the hope is to bring that same sense of camaraderie into the new building. Former principal turned city councillor Bill MacGregor describes the faculty bond like a “band of brothers,” and said the memories “still bring tears to my eyes.”

Come September 2012, the old Abby Collegiate will no longer stand. However, everyone has a memory that they will carry forever.

“It was a school that was all about the pursuit of excellence,” said MacGregor. “It is an ongoing journey.”

Rec centre evacuated

Patrons at Matsqui Recreation Centre in Abbotsford had to evacuate the building Wednesday afternoon after a chemical incident.

Assistant Fire Chief Dave Rivett said Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) was called to the centre, located at 3106 Clearbrook Rd., at about 1:30 p.m.

The incident began after fecal matter was reported in the pool, which was cleared of all swimmers so that staff could sanitize it. Many of these people moved to the swirl pool.

Rivett said a worker then mixed together some chemicals that were not compatible, and suffered minor burns to one of his hands. He moved the bucket outside, and AFRS was called to deal with the chemical reaction and any potential hazardous fumes.

About 60 people were cleared from the building. AFRS crews waited for the chemicals to stop reacting and then ensured that air quality was safe.

Accused described as harvesters of poppy field

A5

Introducing

Yield was to be used in production of doda Robert FREEMAN Black Press

Doda – an opiate commonly consumed in tea or hot water by Southeast Asians – may earn two B.C. men criminal records for harvesting a seven-acre field of it in Chilliwack.

But because the drug is rarely seen in B.C. court cases, provincial court judge Roy Dickey will have to weigh several factors before sentencing the two men arrested when police raided the poppy field in rural Chilliwack in August 2010.

Tehal Singh Bath, a 32-year-old Abbotsford man, and Mandeep Singh Dhaliwal, a 30-yearold Mission man, have pleaded guilty to production and possession of a controlled substance for the purposes of trafficking.

But Crown lawyers took the unusual step this week of presenting Dickey with more information from police witnesses to familiarize him with the production and potential street value of doda. “It’s a serious offence and we want to make sure the judge has before him all the relevant material to arrive at an appropriate sentence,� federal Crown prosecutor Brad Smith said outside the court Thursday.

But defence lawyer Ian Donaldson suggested outside the courtroom that the “collateral harm� caused by doda is less than other drugs controlled by the Criminal Code. “This drug does not appear to be one that has caused harm to the B.C. population, as far as I know,� he said. “No one is over-using doda and breaking into homes to feed his or her habit.�

But during Thursday’s court hearing, Detective-Const. Mark Haywood testified that doda has been an “ongoing concern� of the Peel Regional Police, especially since Arizona suppliers have been shut down by Canadian border agents and prices have shot up dramatically.

“It’s essentially gone through the roof,� he said.

Doda is used “almost exclusively� by the Southeast Asian population around Brampton, Ontario, Haywood said, where it can be bought at local meat shops and dry flower shops.

He said in 2010 one ounce of doda could fetch $50-$75 and one kilogram $2,500-$3,000, but the price had “basically doubled� in the last two years because of the Arizona supply problem.

Haywood agreed with Donaldson that, like other drugs, the larger the quantity of drug purchased, the less its price on the street, but he also noted that he has never heard of any doda being produced on this scale in Canada.

However, Donaldson questioned the size of the poppy harvest in Chilliwack as calculated by the police, and the value estimated by police in a “controlled grind� of 20 pods to produce the doda powder. “Obviously, there is a legal significance in a general sense,� he suggested, in the size of the grow operation and the sentence Dickey will impose.

He also described his clients as harvesters of the poppy plants, similar to workers hired to harvest marijuana grow operations.

Last year, five of six workers caught in the second-largest marijuana grow-op bust in Chilliwack were sentenced by a provincial court judge to 12 months house arrest.

One received a longer, 18-month conditional sentence, because of an earlier marijuana conviction.

The six men and women were paid about $10 an hour to clip and water the 4,776 marijuana plants that police found in two out-buildings of the Nixon Road property in September 2009.

Smith and Donaldson return to court June 19 to set a date for their sentencing submissions.

Carseat checks net 112 tickets

Abbotsford Police issued 112 violation tickets last month for drivers who were improperly transporting children in vehicles.

Const. Ian MacDonald said police, in partnership with Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service, held four days of carseat checks and enforcement in May. Tickets were issued for things such as improperly secured or outdated carseats or for kids not being in a child-safety seat. MacDonald said, in some situations, kids were sitting on the lap of a parent or grandparent.

He said the enforcement blitz was initiated by a recent collision in which a child broke his leg because his carseat was not secured in the vehicle.

MacDonald said the idea of the blitzes was also to educate people about proper carseat installation.

AirCare’s last gasp AirCare will die a natural death in December 2014. It is long overdue.

The provincial program, which is operated by a private operator under TransLink oversight, was instituted in the dying days of the Social Credit government. The Socreds were desperate to be seen as “doing something” about air pollution from vehicles.

By the time the program was running in early 1992, the Socreds had been voted out and the NDP were in power. Thus, some members of the NDP are claiming that the program came in under their government, which is technically true. However, it was not their policy initiative.

AirCare has been unpopular from the beginning, but at first it did serve a purpose. There were a lot of polluting vehicles on the road. Some had pollution control equipment disabled. Others belched oil smoke because of engine wear. There was nothing to stop such vehicles from

being driven indefinitely.

AirCare either forced these vehicles off the road, or into a shop for needed repairs.

But the testing was erratic at first, with vehicles failing at one test station and passing at another.

The program was updated several times, with newer vehicles only requiring two-year inspections, and the newest vehicles not needing them at all. This is because vehicle emission standards are much higher than they were in the early 1990s.

As a result, AirCare hasn’t been necessary for some time. There simply aren’t enough older vehicles on the road to make the expensive and bureaucratic program necessary.

It would be more logical to give police and commercial vehicle inspectors power to take polluting vehicles off the road, or order them to be tested.

Random enforcement is best, in an era when emission standards are much higher than they used to be.

Not ‘paving paradise,’ but the saw will sing Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand Strange as this may sound, I did this past week embrace Abbotsford’s tree protection program – well, at least I spoke civilly to the city’s chief forester, and in fact requested him to tour my property.

Oddly enough, following a heated public meeting over the tree bylaw a couple of weeks ago, I was talking to my neighbour in the driveway when he observed that the very large Lombardy poplar in my front yard was looking sickly. I dismissed it as a quirk of light on the leaves.

On closer inspection, yes, the leaves were turning brown. A few days later the entire tree was as red-brown as the beetle-killed pines of the Cariboo. My tree was dying.

And then I noticed all the poplars along my back fence were an equal shade of death.

The trees, it appeared to me, should be

removed, but since I do try to play by the rules, I contacted the city and asked the forester to give me his opinion, and tacit approval to break out the chainsaw.

The conclusion of the visit was that the trees were severely diseased, and should be removed before they fully wither and fall on my house or, more importantly, me.

The disturbing aspect, however, was not having to “seek permission” to cut down my own trees so much as why so many trees were dying. Thus, I also contacted the Ministry of Environment, which has promised to look into the cause on my property.

Not only are all the Lombardy poplars in their death throes, so too are a couple of weeping willows and a mimosa. And last year two other trees of different species bit the dust.

Is there something in my soil that is deadly, or is there something in the air around here? Hopefully someone from the MoE can determine that.

In the meantime, I looked at the poplars on nearby Ledgeview Golf Course.

Leaves are brown on them too, covering the fairways as though it was fall.

Blight, or possibly other airborne dis-

eases, appears to be widespread here on the mountain and is killing our trees.

The 120-footer, 75 feet from my house, will require professional removal. The other 30 or more poplars, most at least 100 feet tall (if you only understand metric, break out your converter), will fall to my own saw.

... all the poplars along my back fence were an equal shade of death.

The sad part is these trees have adorned my property for some 35 years, and were virtual saplings when I acquired the property in the mid-1980s.

They have always appealed to me, though I must admit I have been concerned that the biggest one would come down on my house in a severe windstorm.

Fortuitously, the demise of the trees has intervened before a call to my insur-

ance company became necessary.

So while I will, over the next few weeks, source enough firewood to last me well into the next decade, and lament the loss of the trees, the desire to have the tree protection bylaw repealed has not diminished.

Dead and dying trees, or live ones that have simply grown too large are still, on urban lots or acreage, our trees to determine what we want to do with them.

They are not part of the “common good.”

And besides, it is not the private resident who has the need or desire to cut trees willy-nilly. That generally occurs only for development properties being put to use for industrial, commercial or subdivision purposes, and the city already has bylaws in place to control and reforest those activities.

The city also has laws in place regulating “common” lands such as street boulevards and parks, thus rendering a tree bylaw on private property redundant.

In the meantime, tempered by sadness at the loss of my trees, the song of the saw will ring loud and long on my property this summer. markrushton@abbynews.com

Share a little magic with a young person.

‘Reject’ harm reduction this city ready to help addicts that genuinely want to stop taking drugs. The help addicts really need is not to enable their current lifestyle but to be challenged to break free.

Sometimes people have to hit bottom before they look up for help. We have chosen not to be a co-dependent city and this is the most loving decision we can make. There may be a little pain upfront during detox but many hundreds in our city can attest that it’s the first real step into a brighter tomorrow.

I urge our council to continue to reject the harm reduction philosophy. We applaud council’s efforts in getting detox centre funding for Abbotsford.

As Mayor Banman said at the Bike to Work Week barbecue on May 28, “We need to get more people using the bike lanes.”

This improvement is one small step – yet very essential – in getting more people riding bikes.

incidence of disease is ridiculous.

Addicts spend hundreds of dollars feeding their habit. It would cost them more time and money to get to a publicly funded needle exchange than it would cost to buy a clean needle at the local pharmacy.

Addiction can only be solved by dealing with the underlying issues within a person that leads them to self-medicate through drugs (legal and illegal).

The argument that a needle exchange is somehow a clean pathway to changed life is a fantasy and is not a scientific fact. Similarly the use of methadone and other so called harm reduction drugs only prolongs the suffering of addicts.

I read Kevin Mills’ article (May 31, “Council continuing to consider needle exchange”) with interest. The “harm reduction” cronies have come into town to bash a few heads at the city council for the audacity of saying that harm reduction is bad public policy.

Indeed our city is leading the way in excellent public policy by helping people out of addiction, not through giving out free needles, but through real help such as found in recovery centres.

It costs an addict only 49 cents for a needle and only 29 cents for a replacement needle tip. These can be purchased at the local pharmacy 24 hours a day without a prescription.

The argument that a free needle exchange is vital to public health and reducing the

Rotary hole-in-one event in full swing The Rotary Club of Abbotsford’s Million Dollar Hole in One contest opened at Fraserglen Golf Course on June 2 and, before the weekend was out, there were already two holes in one.

On Sunday, both Lee Corfe and Dave Blanchard managed the feat and won some great prizes and a spot in the quarter-finals.

“It’s been a really good start to the contest,” said Hugh Ellis, chair of the event.

“It was one of the better openings in the past six years. Donations are going well, but we encourage more people to come out.”

The event’s nine-day run culminates on June 10 when three finalists will each take a shot at a pin 160 yards away. If any of those three balls finds the hole, the lucky golfer who struck it will win $1 million.

Rotary is raising money for the Campus of Care project being constructed next to Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

For more, visit rotarymillion.com.

Seasoned adults share gifts, service Volunteering program a huge benefit For Waldimar and Elinor Neufeld the retirement years have been occupied with service assignments that have been fulfilling and rewarding.

They have served in various places in Canada and the U.S. with Mennonite Central Committee’s (MCC) SOOP program: Service Opportunities for Older People.

MCC SOOP assignments can be anywhere from a week to a year and are often tailored to a person’s gifts and abilities.

Assignments vary and can include office work, home repair, serving as guest house hosts, grounds keeping, fair trade promotion and

more.

The opportunity to travel to new places and the flexibility of the program were appealing to the Neufelds when they considered what they would do with their retirement years.

“We wanted to volunteer while we had health and energy to do so,” Waldimar said.

“We also love to travel and the SOOP program had special appeal to us because of its flexibility to sign up according to our availability.”

One of the places where the Neufelds served with SOOP was in Elkhart, Indiana at the Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (AMBS).

Waldo and Elinor did

a variety of tasks while on campus at AMBS including office work, kitchen duties, helping the daycare, lawn mowing and even doing research for a professor.

“A special benefit was the opportunity to sit in on special lectures and chapels which featured a variety of topics every week,” Waldimar said.

The service that seniors are able to provide is as beneficial to the institutions and places where they serve as it is to the seniors themselves.

Waldimar said they were recognized for their contribution to campus life and the fact that they provided much needed help without impacting Continued on A14

Denture Q&A Improve your health and appearance

Denturists are denture specialists; they specialize in the manufacturing of denture prosthetics.

The word denturist means “a person licensed to fabricate and fit dentures to the public.” The scope of practice for this profession covers relining, rebasing, repairing, full and partial dentures, dentures over implants and partials over implants.

You do not need a referral from another health professional to consult with a denturist. A denturist can refer you to other health care professionals. Some denturists also attend to patients’ needs in home care situations or hospital visits Denturists are proficient and time effective in the delivery of denture treatments. Most denturists fabricate your prosthetics on premises, ensuring quality control and care.

If your current dentures are five years or older they may need replacing. Ask your denturist for an assessment of your current dentures. Quality replacement dentures can improve your health and appearance.

Frequently asked questions: How long will my dentures last?

There is not a removable prosthesis

made for the mouth that is permanent.

The mouth is constantly changing. On average a partial or a denture may be expected to last about five years.

Why are my dentures becoming loose?

If your dentures are more than five years old and if they have not been relined every two years you probably will have some problems with the fit.

Your gum tissue and jaw bone shrink with time. This causes the denture to become loose resulting in a poor fit. A visit to your denturist for an oral health examination will determine the cause of your ill-fitting dentures.

How long will the implants for my (dentures over implants) last?

Reports show many implants lasting 20 years or a lifetime with proper care and regular yearly check ups at your dental professional. These are the factors which could reduce the life expectancy of your implants: Q your general health Q oral hygiene Q smoking Q grinding your teeth Some parts of the implants may need Continued on A16

replacing with time because of wear or deterioration. The dentures themselves should be replaced every five years and relined every two years.

Why is there such a wide range in the cost of a denture?

Cost equals quality. A quality, well fitting, and natural looking denture takes time to make and costs more.

I had immediate dentures made a week ago. I seem to be having some difficulties getting use to my new dentures. Is this normal?

Learning to chew satisfactorily with new dentures takes six to eight weeks.

The tongue, cheek, and lip muscles must be trained to keep the dentures in place during chewing and speaking.

The successful use of your dentures depends on you

and the effort you put forth to master them. To learn to eat with your new teeth will take practice, patience and determination.

Start with soft foods, cutting everything into small pieces rather than trying to bite with your front teeth as this will dislodge the denture.

Thickness in your speech and perhaps a lisp are also common symptoms which will usually correct them-

selves in a short period of time.

Sore spots may also develop and these can be easily relieved by your denturist.

Hundreds of thousands of people wear dentures with ease and in time you too will feel comfortable, secure and successful in wearing your dentures.

Provincial medalist

Neil CORBETT

Abbotsford News

GORD GOBLE

Contributor

Chantel Desch of Yale Secondary won two bronze medals at the provincial track and field championships.

Yale Secondary runner Chantel Desch was the top Abbotsford performer at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships held on Friday and Saturday at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium.

Desch took bronze medals in both the 400m and 200m races.

She was the only local to medal, and her Yale track coach Trevor Wight said she is the first girl from the school to earn a podium finish in at least a decade.

Desch has been recruited to run for the Simon Fraser University Clan track team next season. Track guru Gerry Swan of the Valley Royals track and field club predicts the best is yet to come for Desch.

“She’s quite a good athlete, and she hasn’t really hit her stride yet,” he said. “As she matures,

she’s going to go faster.”

He watched a pair of other Royals girls from Abbotsford schools who were in the hunt for provincial medals, and predicts they will get them next year.

W.J. Mouat’s Hailey Gibson was sitting in third place after the preliminary races in the women’s 100m dash. In the final she finished fourth, just 0.03 seconds behind the bronze medalist.

“I thought she was third as I watched the race, but the camera said different,” said Swan.

Gibson is just in Grade 10, so she has two more years of high school competition to chase a sprint championship.

Mouat distance runner Alex Siemens finished fifth in the women’s 3000m race and sixth in the 1500m. A Grade 11er, she also gets another year of training to

improve her speed.

Daniel Saathof of Abbotsford Christian was sixth in the javelin, Spencer Spenst of Mouat was sixth in pole vault and Manpreet Grewal of Abbotsford Collegiate was fifth in the women’s discus.

Lafarge meet Ruky Abdulai will make her season’s debut Wednesday at the Lafarge High Performance Meet at Rotary Stadium.

The Valley Royal is a worldclass athlete in the heptathlon, who qualified for the London Olympics last summer by placing 13th at the World Championships in Korea. She is one of the many elite-level athletes who will compete.

The main part of the meet begins at 6:20 p.m. and continues until 8:20 p.m. There is no charge for admission.

The juggernaut Shawnigan Lake won their fourth straight B.C. high school rugby championship on Saturday at Rotary Stadium.

The Stags beat the Carson Graham Eagles 22-5 in the final game of the tournament, to take the triple A title.

In the double A final, Brentwood College of Mill Bay beat the Collingwood Cavaliers of West Vancouver 14-7.

Both the host teams, the Yale Lions and Robert Bateman Timberwolves, lost their critical first games. That meant neither team could finish higher than ninth in the 16-team tournament.

Bateman won the rest of their games, finishing 3-1 and in ninth place.

Yale finished 2-2, and in 13th place.

Yale standoff Akash Deo and Bateman eighth man Jeremy Alvarado were both named to the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15 all-star team.

ALAMWALA Jerry Sept. 28, 1961 ~ June 2, 2012

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of Jerry (Awtar Singh) Alamwala. He was taken from us unexpectedly on Saturday June 2, 2012 at the age of 50. He was born on September 28, 1961 in Duncan, British Columbia to the late Sarwan Singh and Bachan Kaur Alamwala. Jerry attended Abbotsford Senior Secondary School and graduated in 1979. Following High School he attended Trinity Western University where he obtained his degree in Aviation Technology and Commercial Pilot’s License. He continued his education at BCIT, and upon completion his passion for agriculture brought him back to the family business.

Through his hard work and dedication he developed one of North America’s largest berry and brussel sprout operations. His progressive thinking and intelligence have helped shape the agriculture industry. Jerry was a loving and caring husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend.

He was blessed to spend 26 years of his life with his soulmate and loving wife Satwinder (Pam). He was very proud of his four children Mandy, Sharon, Jordan and Kyle. He also leaves behind his mother Bachan Kaur Alamwala (late Sarwan Singh), his sister Surinder Brar (Davinder), his brother Jag Alamwala (Sandra) and sister-in-law Jasvir Alamwala (late Jessie), and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and friends.

Funeral services will be held in his honor on Thursday June 7, 2012 at Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (33800 King Rd., Abbotsford, BC). Service will commence at 10:00 am. Prayer service will follow at the Khalsa Diwan Society (33094 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, BC) at 1:30 pm. The Alamwala family would like to thank all relatives and friends for their support.

They would also like to thank the staff at Royal Columbian Hospital, especially the Intensive Care Unit team.

Maria Tessaro nee Buller nee Janzen Maria was born 22 Sept. 1919 in Neuhalbstadt, Ukraine and died May 23 2012 in Abbotsford, B.C. Maria was predeceased by her first husband Gerhard Buller who was “missing in action” during WW2, her daughter Maria in 1941 and her second husband Joseph L Tessaro in 1995.

She is survived by Gerhard Buller (Lynn), granddaughters, Janice & Heather, great grandsons, Mason Gerhard, Wayne Tessaro and many nieces and nephews. A special thankyou to the staff on Cheam 3 for their patience & compassion, Dr. W. Chan and staff at Tabor Home. Viewing will be at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Rd., Abbotsford from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday June 10th, 2012. A memorial service will be held on Monday June 11th, 11:00 at Woodlawn Funeral Home, Pastor W. Wiens officiating.

Abraham Boogerd passed away quietly with his loved ones by his side in Abbotsford, BC on Friday, June 1, 2012 at the age of 93. Abraham was born to Johannes and Marie Boogerd on April 12, 1919.

Abraham is predeceased by Arnolda, his wife of 59 years.

They were married in Rotterdam, Holland.

He is survived and lovingly remembered by his sister Marie Phillips; sons Johannes and Antonie, and his wife Bonnie; granddaughters Dana and Erin, and many other relatives.

Abraham was born in Zierikzee, Holland in 1919. He moved to Rotterdam when he was young. When war broke out in 1939, Abraham served in the Dutch army as a Private in the 13th Depot Battalion until the Dutch surrendered. He was conscripted as a laborer and sent to work in Norway until the war ended in 1945.

After, Abraham learned how to become a painter and worked in a paint factory learning everything he could about the trade. He then took a position with Holland America Line as Manager of Painting Maintenance, where he worked for many years before immigrating to Calgary, Canada in 1957. Here, he started his own successful painting business and later, he moved to Richmond, BC and worked as a foreman for the municipality until he retired to Greendale, BC in 1977.

Abraham enjoyed dancing, playing cards, especially Klaverjassen, holidaying around the world, socializing, camping, and spending time with his pets. Abraham loved socializing and he is remembered for having a great sense of humor-he could bring a smile to anyone’s face.

The funeral service and celebration of Abraham’s life will be held at Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Ave. Chilliwack, BC on Friday, June 8, 2012 at 1:00 PM. Interment to follow at the Little Mountain Cemetery, 10010 Hillcrest Dr. Chilliwack, BC. Reception will commence at Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home after the burial.

Abraham’s immediate family wishes to thank all of those who cared for him over the many years. Donations may be made to the Salvation Army, 45746 Yale Road Chilliwack, BC.
