Waldemar "Wally" RUDER

RUDER, Waldemar "Wally"
It is with deep sadness that the family of Wally Ruder announces his passing in Calgary, AB on August 28, 2015 at the age of eighty-one years. Wally was born in Yakabow, Poland to John and Erna Ruder. Wally immigrated to Saskatoon, SK, Canada with his family when he was sixteen. At the age of twenty-one he fell in love with Gisela and they were married in 1960. Wally was a baker and owned one of Saskatoon's finest bakeries, Golden Sheaf. After he sold the business, Wally worked at many trades prior to retiring at CSP foods in the maintenance department. Wally and Gisela raised their three children in Saskatoon, who all presently reside in Calgary. Wally welcomed everyone into his home, where his yard was his paradise for his children and grandchildren. He had a natural ability to grow flowers and vegetables. He enjoyed visiting with friends and living a healthy lifestyle. He had a passion for dancing, baking and cooking for family and friends. Wally will be lovingly remembered by his wife of fifty-five years, Gisela; children: Lorie (Shawn) Donst, Nancy (Ryan) Lissel and Harley Ruder (Donna Kwan); ten grandchildren: Amanda (David) Supina, Graham, Mark, Grant, Kayla, Kirk, Kyle, Keaton, Benjamin and Joe; and sister Edith (Horst) Arndt. Wally was predeceased by his parents John and Erna Ruder and sister Margaret (Dieter) Freitag. Memorial donations may be made to Redeemer Lutheran Church (812 Preston Avenue, Saskatoon, SK S7H 2V2).
