PAUL LEO TETREAULT April 28, 1933 - August 13, 2005 Peacefully on Saturday, August 13, 2005, at the St. Anne Hospital, Paul passed away at the age of 72 years, after a courageous battle with cancer. With great love and wonderful memories, he will be remembered by his beloved wife of 50 years Doris (nee Gagne); son Gilles (Betty), grandchildren, Brittnie and Justin from Balmertown, ON; daughter Gisele Wilson (Bruce), granddaughter Nicole from Pinawa, MB. He also leaves to mourn several brothers and sisters, Jeanne Mousseau, Lucien (Rose), Olive (Joe) Ferland, Louise Gagne, Irma Tetreault, Clairette Trudeau, Oril (Fleurette), Rachelle Hausauer, Claude (Vicki) and Yvon (Robin); his brothers and sisters-in-law, Renee Jeanson (friend Rosaire), Laurette Gagne (Norbert), Francois Gagne (Joyce), Gilbert Gagne (Anita), Herve Gagne (Noella), Etienne Gagne (Arlene), Luc Tetrault, Lucie Tetrault (Roger); and many nieces, nephews and friends.

Paul retired from the University of Winnipeg after 27 years. Although he was an electrician by trade, he was a master Jack of all trades. Paul was the most wonderful kind, caring and generous man who was always there to help his family and friends. His dream was realized when he and Doris and partners Al and Rita Ryckenboer bought and developed Lee River Falls. He took great pride in building his beautiful retirement home at Lee River where he could always be found working on some project in his garage. Paul and Doris also enjoyed their winters in Texas for the past 22 years. He loved the outdoors, fishing, walking, golfing, and spending as much time as possible with his family and friends. His four grandchildren were his pride and joy. The family would like to thank Dr. Fredette, the wonderful staff at the Ste. Anne Hospital for their care and compassion and Palliative Care. Liturgy of the word will be celebrated at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 16 at the Holy Family Roman Catholic Church, 778 Archibald St., with Deacon Gerard Desrosiers presiding. In lieu of flowers, if friends and family so desire, donations may be made in Paul's memory to the Ste. Anne Hospital, 52 St. Gerard St., Ste. Anne, MB R5H 1C3.
