MAURICE GABRIEL JOBIN Born November 5, 1944 Passed Away January 4, 2015 Maurice Jobin, loving husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on January 4, 2015 at the age of 70 years, in Arizona, USA. Predeceased by his parents Albert and Jeanne Jobin as well as brothers Albert, Lucien, Armand and Arthur, Maurice leaves behind to cherish his memory his wife of almost 18 years, Susan, his three children Jo-Anne (Darryl) St. Goddard, Diane (Gino) Castellano, Rick (Jocelyn) Jobin as well as Susan's two children Korie-Lynn (Richard) Smith and Keith McLandress who he also thought very highly of. Brothers Henri (Gisele) Jobin, George (Gisele) Jobin, Ernie Jobin and sister Cecile (Robert) Deurbrouck, eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Not to be forgotten are nieces, nephews and many friends. Better known to many as "Moe", Maurice was born and raised in St.Claude, MB. He eventually settled in Winnipeg where he worked various jobs including gardening, florist and cooking for the Union Gospel Mission. After meeting Susan, they were inseparable and living life to the fullest with serving The Lord as their main purpose, from volunteering their time to the needy to traveling to warm destination spots in the winter. No matter what he was doing however, he always took time to check in on his children and see that things were good at home. He loved gardening, doing his daily crosswords and watching wrestling on T.V. A Service will take place in Winnipeg in the spring. Rest in peace Papa. You will be greatly missed.
