Obituary for Harold Cornelius Kasper

Harold Cornelius Kasper passed away in Medicine Hat on Thursday, March 10th, 2022, to be with his Savior and Lord at the age of 80 years. Harold was a beloved husband, and lifelong friend to Ann Kasper (nee Doerksen), as well as a cherished father, grandfather, and friend. He is lovingly remembered by his children, Ruth (Raul) Zalazar of Medicine Hat, AB, Wayne (Lisa) Kasper of Arrowwood, AB, and Debra (Albert) Koenen of Argentina; ten grandchildren, Anneli Zalazar, Randall Zalazar, Raissa (Mike) Grose, Lucia Kasper, Tim (Melina) Koenen, Marco, Lisa, and Joel Koenen. Harold is survived by his brother-in-law, Lorne Cornelson of Creston, BC; brother, Robert (Shirley) Kasper of Texas; sister-in-law, Betty Kasper, of Winnipeg, MB, sister-in-law, Brenda Schaffer of Bassano, AB; sister, Dorothy Schaffer of Bassano, AB; and a large extended family. Harold was predeceased by his parents, Ben and Annie Kasper; his sisters, Patricia (in infancy) and Joyce Cornelson; his brothers, Kenneth and Douglas; and brother-in-law Larry. Harold was born on April 1st, 1941 in Beaver Flats, SK, after which his parents moved to Main Centre, SK where he grew up on the family farm, and came to love the land and the livestock. At age 16, he came to personal faith in Jesus Christ as his Saviour and Lord, a decision which transformed his life. His desire to come to better know God and His Word led him from High School to Millar College of the Bible, from which he graduated in 1962. In the interim, two important things happened in his life, he became interested in missionary work and met his lifelong companion and love. Harold and Ann were married in 1963 and a year later left for Argentina to fulfill their missionary call, where they served for 40 years, returning to Canada in 2004. Being an active person, Harold then found employment with MJB Enterprises Ltd. where he enjoyed working well past retirement. During his later years, he waited expectantly for the Lord's return and to be ushered into his Saviour's presence, to enjoy eternity with Him.
