Jacob and Leni immigrated to Canada in 1974, living 2 years in Winnipeg before settling in Abbotsford, B.C., where Jacob managed a poultry farm. At Clearbrook MB Church, Abbotsford, B.C., Jacob served as an usher, and assisted Leni when she was caretaker. He enjoyed hosting barbeques, travelling, and reading Die Mennonitische Post and Menno-Blatt. Jacob loved the Lord and was ready to go.
