Ames was born September 19, 1924 in Sherwood, North Dakota to Oscar Frieburg and Amanda Anderson. He was enlisted in the United States Army from 1946 to 1948. After he was discharged he came to Canada and farmed in Rosefield, Saskatchewan until 1953 when he started farming in Hays. Ames married Lillian Holst in Vauxhall on October 26, 1955. In 1958 he began driving school bus, which he did with pride for thirty five years. Ames and Lillian bought A & L Hardware in Hays in 1964. In 1999 they moved to Signature Point in Taber where Ames has resided until the time of his passing.
Ames enjoyed curling, baseball and wood working as well as many crib games with his good friend Claude. He was a devoted caregiver and was seen regularly on his scooter going to visit Lillian at the Extendicare.
He will be missed by many. Thanks for all the memories, values and hard working ethics. We’ll love you forever. Until we meet again.
