Born February 22nd, 1929 to Bernhardt and Marie Feradi in Stettler, AB, Ab was raised on the family farm before attending the agricultural school in Vermillion, Alberta. He settled in Hussar in 1951 working on area farms before venturing into the bulk fuel business with Imperial Oil in 1957. Ab married Barb in 1960, and shortly thereafter he was appointed the first manager of the Wheatland Co-op. After a short stint as manager of the Co-op in Olds, they returned to Hussar in 1968 as owners and operators of Feradi Auto Service Ltd, before retiring in 1997. Ab had a strong love of the community, volunteering tirelessly on countless projects in Hussar and area. He had a wide circle of friends and his unique sense of humor will be greatly missed. Above all else, his love and pride in his family, was unquestioned by all who knew him.  A celebration of life will be held in the Hussar Community Hall on Friday October 12, at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Village of Hussar First Response Team, Village of Hussar, P.O.
