FERDINAND
BEGIN passed away at Moose Jaw
Union
Hospital
on Friday, October 28, 2005
at the age of 89 years. Ferdinand was born
Ulric Ferdinand on November 27, 1915. He
grew up on the farm north of Alida and attended Arbor Vitae and Chapelle
Schools. He
enlisted in the Army during World War II and stationed overseas.
After the war he farmed in Alida until retirement. No matter what Ferdinand did he did it with passion. Whether it was cards or gardening, it was done with gusto.
He traveled to many places – Russia, Europe, Cuba
and the Caribbean
and knew what it meant to live life to its
fullest. Ferdinand
will be missed by all who knew him. We will miss his award winning smile after a joke or two. He is predeceased by his second wife, Martha,
