He was born in Sandridge, MB and raised dairy and beef cattle on a farm near Sandridge. He could fix almost anything and was a cabinet maker, house builder and carpenter. After his marriage to Agnes he worked side by side with her in many community projects including Inwood Cemetery, Union Prairie Cemetery, Teulon Museum, Gethsemane Lutheran Church Inwood and St. Peter Lutheran Church Teulon. Eskel and Agnes spearheaded the restoration of the Alexander J. Hunter House at the Teulon and District Museum. Eskel was a member of the Elks and volunteered his time to the care of his neighbours and the elderly in Teulon and surroundings. Having a good sense of humour he enjoyed entertaining with his stories. He was a kind and gentle man always giving of his time and talents to help others. He is missed and will be lovingly remembered.

Agnes: so sorry to hear about Eskel. I can remember the times you guys would come to see my Mom & Dad (Alf & Elvina). I have been trying to contact you off & on ... have some news. If my Dad had a "favorite" cousin, it was prob'ly Eskel; I know he had wonderful memories of the trip to Norway with you guys. If my email & phone show up for you, feel free to contact me ... - Posted by: John Vinje (2nd Cousin) on: Jan 25, 2014

Eskel was one of my favorite cousins. We used to have a lot of fun as kids at grandma and grandpa Anderson's. I really enjoyed his storytelling, especially the story of the hole in the bush. We will miss him. Take care Agnes! - Posted by: Betty Erskine (Cousin - Elizabeth Andersen Harustowich daughter) on: Jan 04, 2014

Agnes, you are in our thoughts at this difficult time. As a family we have some great memories of Eskel: his and your hospitality at your home, he and Ken having great chats at the back of the church after service, the carpeted box he built for me so that I was tall enough for the whole choir to see me and, last but not least, the ongoing joke between Eskel and Lindy regarding some chickens and the Teulon Musuem! We will always remember Eskel with a smile. - Posted by: Ken and Chris Kalk (Friends ) on: Dec 26, 2013
