Rudolph was born in Zadova, Bokowina, Austria, December 10, 1909 the tenth child to Ferdinand Jaworski and Anna Hofmeister. At three years of age in 1913, Rudy, as he was known by his friends, immigrated to Canada with his mother, grandfather George Hofmeister and several other siblings, settling in Raymore, Saskatchewan area. His older brother John, who had immigrated to Canada earlier, made a home for all of them until 1927. Rudy, then with his brothers, moved to Masefield, Saskatchewan where each took up homesteads. When the drought and depression came in the 1930's they all returned north and Rudy worked as a hired hand for farmers in the Quinton area, until 1938 when he chose to return to farm his homestead again, eventually purchasing his brother Frank's land. He farmed here until 1944 when, through the P.F.R.A. he exchanged his half section for a similar farm south of Bracken, Saskatchewan. He lived and farmed here until 1991 when failing health determined that he should move to Climax, Saskatchewan and retire. Rudy liked all sports. He was an avid curler, participating in many bonspiels and recounted proudly, when the occasion presented itself, of his meeting the likes of the Campbell Brothers and the Richardsons on the ice. He had a great passion for hunting, always getting his deer and quota of geese. In the winter he would trap a goodly number of foxes and coyotes, selling the pelts to augment his income. But his favourite sport of all, was fishing, which took him to many lakes throughout Saskatchewan and eventually buying a house and lot near a lake at Simmie, Saskatchewan where he spent many happy summer hours. In his declining years Rudy was the recipient of much love and attention from numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives because he shared his memories and stories of the Jaworski family, him being the last of that family. In November of 1997 he moved to Regina to live with his nephew Jim and shortly thereafter moving to Weyburn to live with his niece Rose (Joe) Weisgerber, there receiving a lot of tender, loving care. Rudolph was predeceased by his parents; brothers: John, Tony, Frank, Jake, Joe and Sigmund; sisters: Regina, Agatha and Mary. He is survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
