This Honour List recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions toward preserving Mennonite history, heritage, or faith within our province. To submit a name for the Honour List, nominate that person in writing, and forward to the MHSS Board.

The date in brackets is the year of death. The profiles of some of the honourees are on our website in this Tributes Section. (If you can provide the ones that are missing, the editor would be glad to hear from you).

Reginald Rempel, retired to Laird, SK., died suddenly in an tragic accident. A page of tributes has been begun in his memory.

Dick H. Epp, a long time editor of The Saskatchewan Mennonite Historian and one of the founders of the M.H.S.S. passed away on June 27, 2009, and the funeral was held July 3, at Nutana Park Mennonite Church in Saskatoon. Ted Regehr and Leonard Doell gave tributes at the funeral. We share them here with you, and also the eulogy;
