We regret to advise of the death of Edmond Yablonski of Mayview Sk on 23 August 2002 at the age of 83 years. 

Edmond was born in Poland and immigrated to Saskatchewan with his family in 1929. In 1939, he joined the Royal Canadian Engineers and served across Western and Eastern Canada as a heavy machine operator, ending up attached to the Military Police in Halifax as a jail guard. Two weeks later, the war ended, and he returned to farm in Saskatchewan. In 1949, he married Julia, and they raised a family of two daughters and one son. He was a long time member of the Shellbrook Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion in Shellbrook SK.

Edmond is buried near his lifelong home in Mayview Cemetery.
