BUYAR, Joseph Nicholas. The family of Joseph Nicholas Buyar sadly announces his passing after a period of illness. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 67 years Katherine, daughters Sharon (Allen), Marilyn (Larry), Judy (Graham), and grand-children, Darren, Stephan (Breanna) and Jordan. Joseph was born in Downing, Alberta, on August 12, 1918. A career in the hotel industry took him to British Columbia (Hope, Smithers, and Prince George). He retired to the Lower Mainland (Surrey, Harrison Hot Springs, and 91原创). Always business orientated, his mind was sharp to the end. Joe left his mark on this world through his true passions; he loved to spend time in the great outdoors and was committed to his family. Joseph passed away at Surrey Memorial Hospital in November 30, 2011. His funeral was held on December 9 in Edmonton at Park Memorial Funeral home with interment at St. Stephen芒 Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations are to be made to Ducks Unlimited, 200 - 10720 -178th Street NW, Edmonton Alberta, T5S 1J3.
