GEORGE DOBRA It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our husband, father, brother and best friend on Thursday, December 20th, after a hard fought battle with cancer at the age of 79.

George was born April 26th, 1933 in the Crystal Hill district of SK. In his adult life he farmed and lived in the Kayville district until 1972 at which time he married Anna Algera and together they made their home in Regina. He took over the family farm after his fathers passing in 1990 and continued farming until his retirement in the fall of 2011. George had a great love of animals and took great pride in his cattle.
