Aime was born in Kenora, Ontario, on February 20, 1918, and within a few months moved to St. Boniface. He began his career as a mechanic and later joined Acklands Limited. He entered Sales and retired from Acklands in 1982, as manager of the Winnipeg Branch. He married Cecile Doutre in 1939, and made a home for his family in St. Boniface.

On many occasions, Mom and Dad invited their children to travel with them, which included many memorable trips to the Hawaiian Islands. Dad loved to cook, specializing in creating gourmet soups.

Special thanks to the staff of St. Boniface Hospital Ward 5B, who worked so hard to make Dad comfortable during the last few weeks.
