We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of JOHN SCHWENGLER, who died suddenly on February 3, 2014. For everyone that knew him I think it would be safe to say, that our Dad was no ordinary man. Growing up on the farm in Saskatchewan, his stories began and lead to a life time of family and adventure, beginning with his marriage to our mom Mary, who passed away in 2007.
