BETEGH Joseph Gabor Betegh May 15, 1942 - September 28, 2009 Resident of Lethbridge, AB. Joseph died unexpectedly after recovering from a heart attack; though he battled diabetes for a number of years. He was born in Felsovadasz Hungary to Zsofia Vladar and Pal Betegh. Joe was the youngest of three with two older sisters Gizella (Ducsai deceased) and Jolan Ducsai. He attended Mikoviny Samuel Banyaipari Technikum in Miskolc and graduated in Mining Engineering. He immigrated to Canada in 1968 and chose to move to Alberta to be close to his uncle Daniel Vladar (deceased) rather than pursue engineering in Ontario. In 1969 he married his true love Emily (nee Radvanszky) where he was loved by her family as if he was blood. Joe will forever be remembered by his devoted and beloved children Steven and Sophia and son-in-law Geoff Hamelin, treasured grandchildren Matthew and Zachary along with countless other friends and family in Western Canada, United States and Hungary whom were blessed to know him. Joseph loved to work, whether for his business or tinkering on all things mechanical, laughing, being with his family. You could always count on Joe to “tell you the way I see it” and put 110% into everything he did. He never lost his desire to learn new things with child like curiosity - he was the definition of continuing education. Joe touched the lives of many people with his smile and trademark sense of humor. He will be missed but not forgotten.
