Harry Friesen Obituary

Harry Friesen passed away peacefully on Oct 17, 2021.  Harry was born in Dundurn on November 28, 1929 to Deitrich and Helen.  He attended school at Dundurn and then RJC for grade 12.  He then went to work building a farm, a home and meeting the love of his life, Anne.  They were married in 1954 and moved to the farm where they would spend the next 50 years. Many people were welcomed to the farm over the years and it was the go to place for many activities.  During the summer the pool brought friends, neighbors, grandchildren, nieces and nephews for swimming lessons and sleepovers.  It was a hive of activity and Dad and Mom enjoyed it even more than the kids did.  Family was very important and many large family events and reunions were hosted at the farm for a day of fun and food. Dad loved life and loved people and tried to pack as much into each day that he could.  After a long day of milking the cows, feeding the chickens and working the fields there was usually just enough time to visit a neighbor, or better yet, play a practical joke on them.  He didn’t shy away from any new thing he bumped into, be it real estate, building and refinishing furniture, starting a museum, restoring an old car or running a scout troop.  Many people were touched on this journey. Harry leaves behind his two sons Don (Laura) and Ken, his grandchildren Ryan (Sarah), Craig (Stacy), Audrey (Kevin) and Carmelann and great-grandchildren Alae, Shadia, Rashad, Rhonah, Aaliya, Lilly, Finn, Max and Stevie. Should you desire to respond with a donation please give to the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan 1405 Faulkner Cres, Saskatoon, SK S7L 3R5.  A celebration of his life will be planned once the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.
