ABRAHAM REDMAN 1906 - 2003 Abraham Redman passed away at the Intercare Chinook Care Centre on January 6, 2003 at the age of 96 years. Abraham was born in Pervomaiska, Russia on July 23, 1906. He immigrated to Canada with his family in 1928 and became a naturalized citizen in 1933. After working for a few years in Saskatchewan, he joined the military in 1943, stationed in Canada. Following his service, he settled in Winnipeg and with his brother Harry, jointly operated Royal Produce Co. and also worked in the Army and Navy Department Store for a number of years. Abes love, though, was horse training, which he participated in for many years in and around Winnipeg, also with his brother Harry. Following the deaths of his brother Harry and sister Lucille, Abe moved to Calgary in 1983, where he resided until his death. One of the great joys of his later life was being reunited with his nephew Marc Roittman, with whom he had lost touch immediately following the Second World War. Our beloved Uncle Abe is survived by his loving nieces, Aneta Switzer and Tibele Halpern of Calgary, AB; his loving nephew Marc Roittman of Sao Paolo, Brazil; as well as numerous grandnieces and grandnephews. Abraham was predeceased by his mother and father, Rachel and Yonah Redman; three brothers, Isaac, Harry and Volodya; and two sisters, Lucille and Reva. Funeral services were held at the Jewish Memorial Chapel, 1702 - 17th Avenue S.W., Calgary, on Tuesday, January 7 at 2:00 p.m. Interment followed in the Jewish Cemetery, 30th Avenue and Erlton Street SW. The family wishes to acknowledge with thanks the kind and caring staff of the Intercare Chinook Care Centre for their assistance during our uncles residence.
