It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Arthur Henry Salmon at the Brandon ICU at the age of 83 years.
He is predeceased by his two sons, Scott Salmon and Neil Salmon.
Art was born November 8, 1941 in Selkirk, MB. He originally started working at the Selkirk Enterprise as a typesetter for a number of years. He stayed in this field and then moved to Sales where he excelled and remained at North West Wholesale for 36 years.
Art was a dedicated father, he had a tremendous work ethic and always a smile. He had a passion for bowling, the Jets, Blue Jays, cozy PJ’s and a good glass of scotch.
He will be sadly missed…”God Bless Arty, say hi to Mum”
At this time we would like to thank the Selkirk General and Brandon ICU, and the caregivers for their wonderful job looking after Arthur “thank you so much.”
Family and friends are invited to share memories and condolences on Art’s memorial page by using the comment field below.
Scott & Neil,
I enjoyed the years I worked with Art at the Selkirk Enterprise and then kept in touch when we both changed jobs to work elsewhere. I booked many many trips for your parents. Your father was always a pleasure to deal with.
I am very sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers go out to both of you, may he rest in peace, a life well lived.
Our deepest condolences to Neil and family. There are no words to say just how sorry we are for your loss. You are in our thoughts.
My deepest condolences Scott and Neil. Art was a great man. The way he was with ever one that crossed his path.. humble and respectful. A man that influenced my life and guilded me without me even knowing until years later. I feel blessed to have been protected by Art.. by the safe shelter him and Irene provided us. He went out of his way to To give us support . It was a natural instinct of Art. A grateful giant of a man.
Thank you Art.
Goodbye to my old buddy Sam.
We spent many years and good parties and travels and numerous hockey games all over southern Manitoba.
Sorry to see him gone, but I’m hope he’s at peace now

So sorry to hear of Art’s passing, he and I were crib partners at birth in the old Selkirk General hospital and often laughed at that. Rest in peace Arthur
My deepest condolences Scott, to you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. You will always have your memories.
