RAYMOND (RAY) NORMANDEAU It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ray Normandeau, our beloved husband, father and grandfather on Sunday, June 25, 2006. Left to cherish Ray's memory are his wife of 45 years, Louise (Keena); children, Anita (David), Michael (Janice), Janis (John); grandchildren, Erik, Lisa, Braeden and Dylan. He is also survived by his siblings, Emilia, Therese, Aurise, Noëllia (Ted); sister-in-law Rosanna and Lorraine. Ray was predeceased by his parents Arsene and Albertine; siblings, Elphege, Albert, Ovide and Anita. Ray was born in Labroquerie, MB on September 9, 1938. He was in the roofing industry for 42 years, the last six years running the family business, Normandeau Roofing. Ray loved sports, especially hockey, forever remaining a Montreal Canadiens fan. Every week throughout the winter, he curled at the P.H. Curling Club in Dugald, MB and every Tuesday, he enjoyed playing cribbage with his buddy, Lucky. In his younger years, he coached a successful broomball team. Ray's number one and greatest joy was spending time with his wife, children and especially his grandchildren, along with his two dogs, Kadie and Holly. Special thanks is extended to Paulette Phillips for all her love and support. The family also wishes to thank Doctors, Kaufman, Sutherland and McGinn and the staff at Health Sciences Centre and St. Boniface Hospital Emergency Department.
