EMILE MILLIAN KENNEDY B.A., B.S.W. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Emile on the 23rd of September, 2013, at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg after a lengthy illness. Beloved husband of Charlotte (Solar) and father of Jonathan and Justyn. Emile grew up in the North End of Winnipeg and worked as a policeman for the Canadian Pacific Railway before joining the Winnipeg Police Department where he served as a Detective. Later returning to school, he obtained his Bachelor of Arts in History (Dean's Honour List) from the University of Winnipeg and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Manitoba. He went on to work for the Manitoba Provincial Government as Director of Income Security for Winnipeg South and then as a social worker for the Provincial Department of Health and Social Development until his retirement. Emile was a passionate collector of stamps and coins, and especially Canadian Military cap badges and militaria; a longstanding member of the Military Collectors Club of Canada and Curator of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlander's museum at Minto Armories as well. He was a member of the Winnipeg Police Veterans Association and the Manitoba Government Employees Association. An avid reader, Emile enjoyed books on military history and true crime stories. He was artistic with a photographic memory. He enjoyed still photography and fishing trips with his family throughout Canada and the United States. He will be sadly missed by his family and our cats: Milo and Moe. The family wish to thank the staff at the St. Boniface Hospital E5 I.C.U. and Dr. W. Glew and Home Care staff for their care and compassion. Also thanks to all of Emile's friends both in Winnipeg and abroad, co-workers, neighbours and fellow collectors from over the years. To honour Emile's wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society in his name. Eternally Remembered
