Sim Alfred Yampolsky of Lacombe, Alberta, passed away at the Continuing Care Centre of the Lacombe Hospital on Tuesday, July 25, 2023 at the age of 88 years.

Sim was born March 6, 1935 in the Vancouver General Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia to Maxie (Max) and Dorothy Yampolsky (nee Goldston): delivered by Dr. Isabel Day.

He moved from British Columbia to Alberta in 1996 for health reasons. In 2019 Sim became a Christian, taking Jesus Christ as his personal savior.

Sim will be lovingly remembered by his two sons Bill and Bryan Yampolsky. Sim was predeceased by his two brothers David and Nathan Yampolsky; and his sister Rose Braithwaite.
