A nice obituary from December 31, 2024 about my Great Uncle Herman Neufeld (my mom's Uncle).

I never really knew him as I grew up 4000km away... but he had a positive impact on people, especially Jamaican workers, in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

"Herman, who died Dec. 31, became very involved in the Niagara Workers Welcome services and other outreach programs. He considered the farmworkers his friends and neighbours, and treated them as such."

A picture from the article shows an elderly man joyfully greeting a black man who has his back to the camera. An elderly woman, Herman’s wife Kathy is also greeting the man.  In the background on a church stage with a cross on the wall behind and a projector screen with “Welcome Church” projected on it, a line of men and women sing.
