ANTHONY ANDREW (TONY) RUHR Passed away peace-fully on Monday, May 14, 2001 in the Concordia Hospital, at the age of 81 years. Tony was born in Grayson, SK, on July 21, 1919. He had a quiet sense of humour, and was a devoted husband, father and family man. Dad always found time for his family, which was a great example to follow.

He was predeceased by his wife Anne Ruhr (nee Gelowitz) and by his sister and brothers, Annie Rieger, John and Frank Ruhr.
