CLAUDE HUOT Unexpectedly and with great sadness, we announce the passing of our dear Claude, on Sunday, August 14, 2011, at the age of 58. He was predeceased by both of his parents who loved him greatly, Dr. Jean-Marie Huot and Lucille Davis Huot. Missing and loving him will be his life partner, Arlene Berezuk, along with her children Crystal (Ally), Dale, and grandson Dylan. Claude will also be greatly missed by his siblings who adored him, Gerard (Maria), Marie-Louise (Doug Mazur), Yvonne (Brian Tascona), Jean-Marc (Angela, Paul and Patrick), as well as his two nephews, Marco Huot-Tascona and Remi Huot-Mazur. Also, Claude's step mother Yvette Pelltier will miss him tremendously. Claude's greatest joys in life were the times he spent with family and friends, always wanting nothing more than to bring a smile and laughter to everyone he knew. Claude had a passion and fervor for all he endeavored. His happiest times were shared with his many loved ones at Cass Lake during his youth, and later at his island on Shoal Lake. The beauty of nature gave him great peace. His cottage and self-proclaimed labor-of-love' brought him many years of incomparable joy. Claude forever found ways to take a boat ride around the lake, try out a new gadget, and read instruction manuals like they were the latest Best Sellers. Claude had a special knack for teaching people, a little something, each time they were in his presence; we are all better for having been a part of his life and are reminded of this each and every day. For nearly 30 years, Claude was employed with Louis Riel School Division. His work, along with his colleagues, was a source of great pride. Claude valued many facets of his role in ensuring the safety of students, in implementing the most current technology for the department, and in maintaining a cohesive team. Throughout his life, Claude took a particular interest in fostering his love and respect of nature in others. He felt Camp Stephens exemplified all the qualities that he held so dear and watched these grow through his younger brother, Jean-Marc, his nephews Marco and Remi, and most recently, Dylan who to this day is a full-participant of all Camp Stephens has to offer. Funeral service will be held on Friday, August 19 at 1:00 p.m. at Green Acres Funeral Home.
