Joseph Pfau

He graduated from Willamette University in business, with a love of accounting. He joined several of his brothers and sisters in purchasing farms that adjoined the original family farm where he grew onions and berries to support his wife and four children but maintained a large orchard and garden so that he could give excess to friends and those less fortunate. He did not abandon his accounting skills but maintained immaculate accounting registers for business and prepared tax records during the winter months.

He was a private and humble man but passionately defended and argued his strong faith-based beliefs. He enjoyed collecting and fixing clocks and was never too busy to help others. A few years after the passing of Arlene, his wife of 60 years, he was fortunate to spend seven years married to Pansy, a dedicated and wonderful companion that made his golden years very enjoyable.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to World Missions in care of Peoples Church. Graveside service is Monday, July 2nd for family at Bethany Cemetery followed by Memorial Services at 11:30 at People Church.
