Dear Lowlanders,<br>
<br>
As our friend Reuben Epp kindly informed me, another important voice for Plautdietsch
(Mennonite Low Saxon) has been silenced. One-time Lowlands-L member Herman Rempel
of Morden, Manitoba, Canada,
born in 1915, passed away on October 11, 2008.<br>
<br>
Please read his obituary here: <br>
<a href="http://www.wiebefuneralhomes.com/2008/herman_rempel.htm">http://www.wiebefuneralhomes.com/2008/herman_rempel.htm</a><br>
<br>
While I am sad that our active, old friend has passed on and away from us, I am
happy to know that his passing was kind and gentle.<br>
<br>
Herman's engagement for his language is legendary. One of the great services he
rendered is his on-line dictionary "Kjenn Jie noch Plautdietsch?": <a href="http://www.mennolink.org/doc/lg/l">http://www.mennolink.org/doc/lg/l</a><br>
<br>
Herman often posted information about his language during his tenure as a member of Lowlands-L.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Reinhard/Ron</span></p>
