Roy Edward Yaworsky

Roy will be lovingly remembered by his wife of almost 59 years, Sherry; his son, Blair (Heather); his daughter, Lynn (Rob); his chosen grandchildren, Adam and Zach; and his sister, Maryanne. He was predeceased by his father, Jack; his mother, Justine; his brother, Tony, sister-in-law Gloria and his niece, Sandra.

Roy married the love of his life, Sherry, on October 7, 1967. Together, they shared more than 58 years of marriage, building a life and raising a family.

Anyone who knew Roy knew of his love for fishing, hunting, and camping. Throughout his life, he was surrounded by wonderful friends and enjoyed travelling with Sherry. His career in the farm implement industry spanned decades and brought him many lifelong friendships. Roy was an accomplished athlete in his youth. He excelled at hockey, setting scoring records in junior hockey before playing Oldtimers hockey well into his 50’s. His love of sports kept him an avid Oilers fan throughout his lifetime.

The family extends a heartfelt thank you to the doctors and especially the nurses at the Fort Saskatchewan Hospital for their outstanding care and compassion.
