It is with heavy hearts that the Family announce the passing of Richard Halter.  He passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at the age of 78 years. 

Richard leaves to cherish his memory: his children, Donelda (Luc) Proteau; Rick (Rhonda) Halter; Daphne Halter; and Megan (Brad) Ausmus; 10 grandchildren and 4 great- grandchildren.  Jeffrey Proteau- Callie, Parker; Jasmin Proteau; Alysha (Trevor) Decker- Eli; Beck (Sara) Halter; Cori (Dillon) Rees- Sawyer; Gavin (Megan) Halter- expecting February, 2026 ; Jada Spence; Quinn, Ashlyn,and Kaden Ausmus.  Richard is also survived by his former wife and mother of his children, Aileen Halter; brothers, Leonard (Elsie) Halter,  Brent (Ernie) Halter, and sister- in- law; Sharon Halter as well as numerous nieces and nephews.  Richard was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Ruth Halter and his brother, Larry Halter.  

Richard was born on November 2, 1947 in Dodsland, Sk. He grew up working on the family farm with his parents and his 3 brothers.  After a short stay in Edmonton, Ab, where he trained in Welding, he eventually came back to the Dodsland area.  He then built a home, south of Dodsland and continued farming,  while also working at Be-line Manufacturing in Kindersley, Sk.  He often worked hard and long hours, until his retirement in 2013.  After retirement from farming, he moved to Kindersley, Sk, where he started BackRoads Plastic Welding, “Don’t Falter, Call Halter!”  That kept him working until his passing.  You would often see him for coffee in the mornings and afternoons, and travelling around watching his grandchildren play hockey.  If he wasn’t at the rink watching hockey, he would likely have a hockey game on the T.V, his favourite team being the New York Rangers.  

Richard was a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.  He was consistent, hardworking, determined, caring, and loyal to his family and friends.  He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
