Henry Loewen D.D.S.

My life and what I have accomplished is not serious. I could tell you many stories about growing up on the prairies of Manitoba or the Fraser River Valley of British Columbia. But the fun I had there isn’t important. It is what God did in me and the privileges that He gave me to be with others that is important. I love people and love being with them, especially young people. That’s why I turned my practice to orthodontics. Being a gentle dentist, straightening teeth and helping young men and women look good is only a part of the love that God gave me for youth. I also care about their hearts and hurts. I don’t understand everything about why people get divorces and young people get confused but I have always wanted to help and have tried to help when I could. God gave me opportunities to help in my practice, the community, and in the Church. I didn’t help because I wanted to gain points with god but because that is simply what it means to be professional. Quality people is what makes a good Church. God wants statesmen not politicians both in the Church and in government. God wants professional people in His Church; people who do what they profess.

God has blessed me with seven children who married persons that were perfect for each one. I have been blessed with a loving wife and many grandchildren. I loved to hold the babies. I am proud of all of their accomplishments and am listening to their hurts.

Life on earth was too short to grumble and complain even when the chemo made me sick, I fought to be positive as long as I could even think. Usually I could find a way to win at least one game out of a tennis match even though losing wasn’t serious. But it was much harder to win the game of being positive when the drugs made me sick and I couldn’t even hold a racket.

Now I am well, playing on the courts of heaven and much healthier than you. I am watching my grandchildren grow up, for I am the least part of a cloud of witnesses that has come here before me. Will you believe in Jesus, follow Him, and one day join me? God continues to be good, He is the giver of joy! Will you accept His joy?
