HROMADA, Albert Joseph
June 17, 1933 - December 18, 2015
Albert (Spud) Hromada born June 17, 1933 in Drumheller, Alberta and passed away peacefully on December 18, 2015 with his family at his side at the age of 82 after living in Drumheller all his life. Spud is survived by his wife Eileen; sons Darren (Sylvia) and Kelly; Step-son Russell (Sandra); step-daughters Rhonda (Ron) and Robyn (Dave); Grandchildren Shaun (Wendy), Jason, Danielle (Jed), Candice (Jacob), Kari, Josh (Corinne), Taylor, Megan, Chris (Tara), Cody, Tyler, Caitlin, Jaun Pablo and Manuela; Great-grandchildren Paxton, Autumn and Hayden. He was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Mary and sister Josephine. “Grandpa” Spud took keen interest in his family, whether it be repairing a grandchild’s vehicle or maintaining family and friend’s furnaces. Spud’s love of music was seen through his many years with “Bobby Hoy and the Badlanders” or music business that he had for many years. His accordion skills filled many community halls throughout the years. Spud was known for his famous smile and could always be found at Walmart or McDonalds every day. During the summer months, Spud spent his days at the golf course. The month of November was spent travelling the back roads of Dalum searching for the elusive deer.
Husband, Dad, Grandpa, Great-Grandpa…
Missed terribly…Never forgotten
Love your family
