Simon is survived by his children Marion Schulz of Mission, B.C. God bless you in all your steadfastness and caring. We sincerely wish to thank each of you for your prayers, visits and kindnesses shown to our father, grandfather, and great grandfather. We will miss him in our hearts, but know that he was ready to go. He always enjoyed a good chat, and both he and his family have appreciated the numerous people who continued to drop by and visit, and show that you care in so many little ways. In the mid nineties, his health began to deteriorate, and he moved into the Lodge at Consort, and then eventually the Extended Care Unit in Coronation where he continued to enjoy his visits from his friends and family. Often in the evenings he would spend time with his family, playing a game, throwing a baseball, or pulling out his fiddle to play along with Marion on the piano.

He was a good father, and while quite strict in many ways, expecting good work ethics, and acceptable behavior, also knew how to have a good time. Besides the fiddle, he could strum along on the guitar, ukulele, mandolin, and banjo. Family gatherings usually ended with some good music and he could play almost any of the usual instruments with strings. Music was also something he enjoyed, and often took time out in the evening to play his fiddle. Even in his most recent years, there was one thing that could put a big grin on his face, and a sparkle in his eye, and that was to get him going on one of his favourite baseball stories. It was his passion, and he played until he was 61 years of age. It wasn’t long before he also organized the Kessler Baseball Club, which proved to be one of the best teams in the area. On returning to Canada, Simon resumed farming and reopened the store and Post Office at Kessler. Marion had been born just a year before he left for overseas. In September, 1945, Simon returned to Canada on the Isle de France, two months after his son, Ronald was born. Here he lost his best friend where they were under fire by the Germans. In December of 1944, the day after Christmas, he left for the East Coast to go to England and Scotland, and then on to France, Germany and Holland. 1943 saw him headed for Prince Rupert for further training in the large guns where he became a bombardier. From there he went on to Vancouver with the 44th Heavy Artillery. In 1942, he received his call from the army and went to Edmonton for elementary training and then to Victoria for training with the heavy AAC-AAC Division. Simon and Hazel were married in September, 1941 and settled on the farm at Kessler where they opened Kessler Store and Post Office and Simon began trucking grain, cattle, and coal.

He was never afraid of work or to undertake a job that someone else might find undaunting. He especially liked making railroad ties. In the 30’s he went to work in Lacombe in the fall to work on threshing crews, and in the winter was off to Edson to bring home some extra money in the logging camps there. Simon’s sisters recall him as being quite a tease, but also remember him as being very good to them and bringing home little treats in his pocket. He helped them maintain their hold on the shield that had been theirs for four years, taking first place in the 100-yard dash in grade eight and second place in grade nine. He had become a good athlete by this time and the school asked him to come back for the sports competition for the Amisk School District. Oscar had suffered a fractured pelvis and collarbone and was laid up for some months. In grade eight at 14 years of age he had to quit school to go threshing to make some money for the family as his father had been injured when his horse had slipped in the mud and fallen on him. His first good riding horse he named Spider, and they became good pals and he rode her everywhere he had to go to baseball games – wherever. The Oscar Fuglem home was given to hospitality and they always had lots of company with baseball games in the back, and listening to the radio as they were one of the first families in the neighbourhood to have one. There was also another brother Orville, who died in infancy of pneumonia.Īfter moving from Edmonton, they lived in the Bardo District, and then later, moved to Hughenden. He was the eldest of six children of which there was one brother Milton, and four sisters – Connie, Donella, Joy and Olea. Simon was born on Januto Oscar and Mamie Fuglem in Edmonton.
