Born in Detroit, Michigan and raised in Aubigny, Manitoba, Dad left the farm and held numerous jobs. He spent the greater part of his working life as a professional autobody painter. Due to illness, Dad retired at the age of 55. Dad treasured the many years spent in St. Malo. These are memories that will be forever cherished by family and friends. Every fall Dad looked forward to hunting season. Many a meal was shared by all. The family would like to thank Gerry and Alice L'Heureux for their help during the many years at St. Malo and for their continued love and support through the many years. Flowers and cards are gratefully declined. Donations can be sent to Siloam Mission, our favourite charity, 300 Princess St., Winnipeg, MB R3B 1M3, in Dad's memory.
