EUGENE RICHARD Suddenly but peacefully, on December 12, 2008, Eugene (Chuck) Richard, age 86, passed away at St. Boniface General Hospital. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Alma Richard (nee Strom). Also left to cherish his memory are his nephews and nieces, Raymond Bell (Linda), Sheldon Richard (Mary), Pamela Hickox (Frank), Denis Lavoie, Rose-Marie Beaulieu (Philippe), Paul Lavoie (Pam), Gilbert Lavoie (Jan), Jacqueline Lavoie and Maurice Lavoie and their children, as well as several of Alma's nieces and their families. Chuck was predeceased by his parents Alphonse and Bertha Richard, as well as his brothers and sisters Philippe, Joseph, Gerard, Lucien, Marguerite (Lavoie) and Mary (Bell). Chuck loved life. He was a caring man, soft spoken, but with a depth of knowledge. Like his wife Alma, he loved nature and everything about it. He will be missed and fondly remembered by the many acquaintances and good friends (in particular his nephew Denis) from the Marlborough Hotel where he carved his career. It is also at the Marlborough Hotel that Chuck and Alma first met. A celebration of Chuck's life will be held at 10:00 am. on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 at Green Acres Funeral Home. GREEN ACRES Funeral Home and Cemetery # 1 Green Acres Lane, (204) 222-3241 Life stories may be shared with friends and family across the globe at www.mem.com
