RIEDLINGER Edwin Hubert Riedlinger of Red Deer passed away on March 15, 2006 at the age of 88 years. He is survived by one brother, Ray (Eileen) of Leader, Saskatchewan, one sister, Helen of Gunn, Alberta and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, three brothers; Arthur, Ervin and Walter and three sisters; Amanda, Elsie and Ella. Edwin was born on August 10, 1917 in Prelate, Saskatchewan where he was raised and educated. He worked as a farm-hand in Carstairs and Torrington. Later he worked in construction and at a grocery store for his brother-in-law, Dick, in Edmonton. In 1956 Edwin moved to Red Deer where he worked at the Alpha Creamery for twenty-two years. He retired in 1978 at the age of 61 due to health concerns. Edwin's sense of humour was one of his great gifts which he maintained until the end. By Edwin's request there will be no funeral or memorial service. Special thanks to Dr. Donnelly and the nurses at Red Deer Regional Hospital and all Edwin's caring neighbours who were there for him through the years.
