ALFRED (ALFIE) PHILLIPS 1923 - 2011 Alfred (Alfie) Phillips passed away peacefully at St. Boniface Hospital on April 11, 2011. Our Dad lived his life with dignity and grace. Dad leaves his two children Lynda (Derek) and Randy (Sandie) to mourn his passing. Also, his grandchildren: Tina (Rob), Trevor (Kristin), Leigh (Shawn) and Nicole (Jason). Dad's pride and joy were his four great-grandsons: Brayden, Tyler, Kyle and Grady. Also surviving Dad are his brother George Phillips and many nieces and nephews. Dad was predeceased by his wife of 61 years Doreene on June 7, 2008. Dad was also predeceased by two sisters Grace Chamberlin and Olive Morgan. Alf's family would like to thank all the staff of Thorvaldson's Care Centre, in particular Shelvey for their comfort and care during his stay with them. Also, Floor 8 Palliative Care Unit of the St. Boniface Hospital for helping to make our Dad's last days comfortable and peaceful for him and the family. A formal service will not be held according to Dad's last wish. The family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Alf's name to the Palliative Care Unit, St. Boniface Hospital Research Foundation, D1003 409 Taché Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6. Dear Dad, we love and miss you very much. We will miss your sense of humour, your helping hand, your kindness and most of all your smile. May you now rest in peace with our beloved mother Doreene. You are our hero and will live in our hearts forever. The Coutu family in care of arrangements: E. J. COUTU CO. FUNERAL DIRECTORS 680 Archibald St. 253-5086
