It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our loving father and grandfather, Paul T. Breitkreuz at the age of 76.
Paul entered into Eternity on February 23, 2013, now sitting at the feet of our loving Lord and Saviour. Praise God!
Paul was born on the family homestead, six miles from Falun, on October 29, 1936. He did his schooling at Falun, but soon was working on the farm, and remained a farmer throughout all of his life, even after retiring in 1991! "Old farmers never die, they just go to seed."
