Rudolph (Rudy) Salamon

December 24, 1938- March 29, 2017

Mr. Rudolph (Rudy) Salamon passed away peacefully on Wednesday March 29, 2017, with family by his side, at the age of 78.

Rudy was born in Lethbridge, AB to the late John and Mary Salamon. He farmed in the Fourth Creek district in Northern Alberta with his father for many years before finding his passion as a carpenter. He then relocated to Vancouver Island where he built his dream home for his family, and was most proud of the marina he built at Browns Bay. He eventually found his way back to Lethbridge, working in construction and carpentry until he retired. He loved fishing, playing cards (look out if he lost), woodworking, afternoon drives, the casino, and spending time with family.

Rudy is survived by his first wife Gloria Temple; their three children Randy Salamon, Sherilyn (Russell) Hancock, and one other daughter; grandchildren Mandy (Dan) Daysha, Jacob (Rebecca), and Kyle; great-grandchildren Savannah and Scarlett; sisters Irene Cohrs, Emily Thomas, Geraldine Kwasnitza, Alice Hargreaves, Darlene Emard, Leona Levins and Marg Kudeba, as well as numerous nieces and nephews who will miss his company greatly.

Rudy is pre-deceased by his brother John; sister Marlene; and infant brother John.

Rudy will be dearly missed by his fiancée Alma Osberg, who brought joy and companionship to his final days.

At Rudy's request, there will be no funeral service. Cremation entrusted to Martin Brothers Funeral Chapels. For those who wish, a donation can be made to St Michael's Health Centre, Palliative Care Unit, 1400-9th Ave South, Lethbridge AB, T1J 4V5.
