Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryFRANK LEO BOULANGER On Tuesday, April 5, 2016, Frank Leo Boulanger tragically passed away at the age of 75 years. Leo will be sadly missed and forever loved by his sons, Ronald and Dennis (Arminda) and his six grandchildren, Christina (Luke), Dylan, Cassandra, Kaitlyn, Colby and Aidan. Also left to cherish his memories are his brothers, Silvio, Noel, Maurice, Joe, Eddy, Henry and Fern; sisters, Yvonne, Louise, Helen and Marita; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents; his wife Alice; sons Brian and David; daughter Leona and sister Rose. Leo was born and raised in Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba, where he continued to live through his adult years and into his retirement. Leo was happily married to his wife Alice for 42 years. He always worked very hard and started his own business in the early 60s hauling topsoil and gravel to many faithful customers. Leo operated his business for nearly 30 years and continued working well into his retirement. He was very dedicated to his job and treated all his customers with great respect which developed many lasting friendships throughout the years. After retirement, Leo enjoyed spending his summers in Manigatogan, Manitoba and his winters in the Domincan Republic. Leo was a very soft spoken, well natured, kind spirited and hard-working man. He always had a smile on his face, one we will never forget. He would never hesitate to help someone in need and he will be greatly missed by his many family and friends. On Saturday, April 30, 2016, a Funeral Service will be held to honour Leo's memory at 1:00 p.m. in the Lac du Bonnet Community Centre, 25 McArthur Avenue, Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba. A celebration to honour Leo's ashes will be held at a later date. Wojcik's Funeral Chapels & Crematorium, Winnipeg, Beausejour, MB, 1.866.424.6271 or 204.268.2263, www.wojciksfuneralchapel.com "A light from our lives is gone, A voice we all loved is still, A place is vacant in our hearts which never can be filled. God gave us a beautiful father, grandfather, uncle, brother and friend and now we see his empty chair, but we will feel his presence there. The memories of his laughter, his warm and loving smile, His eyes so full of happiness, His heart that of a child, Memories are forever, Be they laughter or of tears. Memories we will treasure forever. For the rest of our years. Goodbye, Until We Meet Again."
