Family suggests memori-als to Ellington Community Church
At age 16, Henry Suderman accepted the Lord as his personal Savior and faithfully continued to follow the Lord’s leading throughout his life. He was an excellent example to his children and grandchildren and anyone who ever met him.
Henry was born in Russia in 1911 and immigrated with his family to Canada in 1924, settling in Oakville, Manitoba, where he farmed with his family. Henry and his sisters moved from Manitoba to British Columbia in 1936, settling in the Sardis area of the Fraser Valley. In 1941, Henry began working in the logging industry as a “grease monkey” and was promoted to driving logging trucks a short time thereafter. He continued driving either logging or freight trucks until 1954. From 1954 until 1970, Henry farmed in the Camp River and Rosedale areas. In 1970, the family sold the farm and moved into Chilliwack where Henry drove school bus until he retired in 1981. The Suderman family has blessed us and the Chilliwack Transport For Christ Crossroads Chapel in so many different ways. We are so thankful to Henry’s wife, Margaret, and her friend Tiena for their faithfulness in making cookies for the chapel. Many truckers have expressed their appreciation for this act of kindness to them. These dear ladies have found a unique way to minister the love of Christ to the trucking industry.
Henry’s son, Henry (Hank) Suderman, has a wonderful Web site of truck pictures www.hankstruckpictures.com and also contributes in many ways to the ministry of Transport For Christ here in Chilliwack
