April 4, 1943 – April 28, 2025
With much sorrow and sadness, we announce the passing of our deeply loved partner, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend at the age of 82.
Rudy was a very happy man, who loved everyone, made friends easily and kept them for life. His determination and energy were endless.
Rudy worked for Parkside Ford as shop foreman (currently Vicker Ford) for over 30 years until his retirement. He had a love of Fords, of which he owned several over his life.
He is survived by his partner Jackie; his daughter Connie (John), grandchildren Austin (Liz) and Colton, his son Cory (Cindy), grandchildren Keira and Taylor, step sons Jeff (India), grandchildren Erin and Jovie and stepson Jason, step grandchildren Jay-lyn, and Makenna. Sister Helen, nieces Tracey and family, Tammy (Donald), Rhonda, and nephew Vince and families, many cousins and friends.
He was predeceased by his parents Mike and Minnie Kowalyk, Brother George, and nephew Mark.
Thank you to the wonderful, caring staff at Selkirk Regional Health Centre.
Our memories of you are treasures that will be in our hearts forever. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered. We will always remember the lessons you taught us in life, and the love you had for everyone.
“God has you in his keeping, we have you in our hearts.”
