張連泉的一生
張連泉先生, 生於1937年七月,從小就在台灣農村鄉下長大,家庭環境雖然經濟小康,兄弟姐妹六人,放學後都會幫忙家中的農務。但是這位純樸少年,卻一直有顆奮發向上的求學心,省立台中高職畢業後,順利通過就業考試和普考。並且分發到台北市稅捐處服務。半年後順利轉入銀行界工作,期間半工半讀完成淡江大學會計統計系學業。他將一生的精力奉獻於金融機構的工作,也在工作中,獲得了相守一生的伴侶 :1960年在合庫與陳月美女士相識相戀,1964年結為連理,一起共度六十二年幸福美滿的時光。
張連泉先生勤勉認真,親切誠懇,同事們都形容他是位儉簡、風趣、善良、重感情的人。他在銀行界服務了38年,退休前已是合庫的協理。除了工作業績 十分優秀,常獲得上司的獎勵,對待客人與下屬,態度永遠親切誠懇,因此他在銀行界十分受到敬重。1995年,他在安泰證券金融公司的總經理盛情邀請下轉到其金融公司服務,直到2008年才退休定居加拿大。
張連泉的一生,不但工作勤勉,也非常注重家庭生活,並且盡心培養三個子女的教育,讓他們都能到國外深造。他的晚年與兒子和小女兒居住在溫哥華。大女兒則住在美國德州,也常常帶著孫兒們來探望他。
他在2021年3月曾經肩膀疼痛兩三天,不知因心臟血管阻塞引起而延誤就診,情況危急,經家人和朋友祈禱,上帝赐與恩典,挽回生命。出院後於三月27日受洗成為上帝的兒女。
雖然這一年來,身體健康情況不佳,但是他依然時時打起精神,總是笑容滿面,不為病痛所困。2022年十二月二日,他堅持等待見到全家圍繞在病床,含笑地安息主懷。
