We Remember
ANTONIO, Rudolph Emmanuel
February 4, 1930 — August 24, 2015
Rudy was born in Trinidad, Tobago and moved to Alberta at the age of 22 where he met the love of his life Doreen (predeceased 2007) and had 6 beautiful children. He will be sadly missed by Doug (Stephanie), Sherry (Darcy), Ron, Mike (Angie), Garnet, Carolin (Mike) along with 13 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Rudy and Doreen retired to BC in 1992 to pursuit their passion of golf.
Rudy loved to play games and spent numerous hours playing with his children, grandchildren, and friends. He relished in the game of golf and curling. He had a competitive spirit that challenged the best of us to try and beat him. Rudy and Doreen loved to dance and it was always a beautiful thing to see them twirling around on the dance floor. After Doreen passed away Rudy kept his dance passion alive participating in a variety of dance clubs with new found friends (June). We are sure God has a good tune playing for your arrival and your next dance with mom shall last another life time.
Special thanks to good friends Stu and Trudy Dewar for their years of friendship and support. Also thanks goes out to Dr. Mackle and the caring staff (Gloria) at Sutherland Rest Home and Brant Creek Mews home for taking such good care of Rudy.
A private family celebration of life will take place later in Sherwood Park. In lieu of flowers any donations would be appreciated and can be made to The Memorial Cup through Trudy Dewar at tsdewar@telus.net where all monies go to BC Interior Cancer Society.

Forever in our hearts and I’ll miss you PaPa 🙁
I will forever be grateful to Rudys family for allowing me to spend so much time with him. I will always remember our visits and will miss his smiles, his laughter and his songs. May your memories bring you comfort and joy !
I am sorry to hear about the recent passing of your Dad and your Mom in 2006. After moving to the coast I lost contact with them. However, I remember all the good times we had at the golf course, curling rinks, conferences and the good times we had at our cottage at Itaska. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless!
To the Antonio family my condolences, Rudy and I shared some good times in business and some great times on the many golf course we played.
Sorry I never got back to see him after I migrated to Australia.
