Henry Jacob
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Henry Jacob Hedrick on May 17, 2012. Born in Loos BC, Henry is survived by wife of 70 years, Edna Louise; children, Ron (Sadea) of Agassiz, Ted of Maple Ridge, Daryl (Gay) of Agassiz and Robin (Dale) of Port Williams NS. He is also survived by 7 grandchildren; Jim (Leah), Mike, Brock (Alisha), Chad (Lisa), Kari, Morgan and Blake and 5 great-grandchildren, Jacob, Nathan, Hannah, Grace and Cole.
Henry very proudly served in WWII, enlisting in the army July 1940 in Prince George. He served as a Rocky Mountain Ranger in the UK and the Mediterranean. After being discharged from the army, Henry was self-employed in the cedar shake industry. He lived to fish, hunt and spend time with his children and grandchildren. He could always be found in his workshop. A private family service will be held in Agassiz with burial to take place in Prince George.
