Obituary of Steve Tury
Please share a memory of Steve to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Steve Robert Tury of Daysland passed away on Friday, December 18, 2015 at the age of 83 years.
Steve was born in Revuse, Czechoslovakia on January 26, 1932, and came to Canada as a young boy in 1937.
In 1945, the family lived in Heisler and operated the Riverside Coal Company. After the mine closed the family moved to Daysland, and in 1951 Steve with his father and brother-in-law Fred Komperdo built the Palace Theatre.
Steve married Olga Harmider in October 1953, and together they ran the theatre until their retirement in 1996. He was a frequent visitor at the Daysland Sunbeam drop in centre, where he was involved in floor curling and other activities.
Steve, and his unique sense of humour, will be deeply missed by his many nieces and nephews.
He is predeceased by his wife Olga, his parents Steve and Maria (Mary) and his sister Pauline Komperdo.
Your comfort and support is greatly appreciated and acknowledged by all the family.
A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at 11:00 a.m., Monday, December 28, 2015 from Our Lady of the Prairies Roman Catholic Church, Daysland with Rev. Leon Kler as celebrant.
