It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Sam Baron, our beloved husband, dad, grandpa, and great-grandpa. He leaves to mourn his loving wife of 63 years Erna and his children Glen (Brenda) Baron and Joy (Garry) Barton. His memory shall be cherished by his precious grandchildren; Lee (Kristylynn) Barton, Abigail, Jaiden and Ethan; Andrea (Kent) Wierenga and Nate; Heather (Geoff) Woodruff; Lindsey (Carl) Catherwood, Lilia and Reece.

Sam was predeceased by his parents K. Henry and Louise Baron, his siblings; Dorothy (in infancy), Eileen Rotenburger, Viola Gruenke and Arthur Baron.

Sam was born and raised in the Stony Plain, Alberta area. The family moved to the Barrhead area in 1938 and Sam has resided there since that time. He farmed for his entire working life and drove school bus for many years. In retirement he enjoyed traveling, fishing and visiting with family and friends most recently in the local coffee shops. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
