HENRI EMANNUEL PIERRE ANOBIS August 1, 1957 - May 28, 2016 Peacefully with family by his side, Henri passed away unexpectedly at St. Boniface Hospital. Left to cherish Henri's memory are his spouse Johanna (Jansen) of 30 years of marriage. His memory will live on in his children and grandchildren, Keila (daughter Hazel) Troy, Devon, and Paige. His former partner Catherine Goodman and her children, Shaun (daughter Adina) Shannon (son Brayden). He will be missed dearly by his brother Rene (Melinda); sisters, Denise (Frank) and Andree; nephews and nieces, Maria, Michael, Ian, Johnny, Peter, Bobby, Billy, Sonja, Carla, Renee, Helen and Christopher.

He was predeceased by his parents, Henry Anobis and Margaret (Deutch) Anobis; sister Helen Winsor (Jack Winsor) and niece Marjory Winsor. Henri was born in St. John's, Newfoundland. At the age of 17, he enlisted with the Royal Canadian Regiment, where he proudly served his country for 22 years. During this time, Henri had earned numerous medals for his tours overseas, until his honourable retirement in 1996. Many friendships were made during Henri's lifetime, whether it was on road trips to South America or riding his prized Harley. But especially his Band of Brothers throughout his military career. As per Henri's wishes, a private celebration of life was held on Friday, June 3, 2016. Interment will take place at a later date. The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to Winnipeg's EMS team, St. Boniface Hospital, Henri's healthcare professionals, Dr. Rumbolt, Dr. Kroeker and Dr. Davda for their amazing care.

My Operations WO during Op Cavalier in Bosnia with 2 RCR Battle Group 92/93. He was a kind and decent man who contributed so much to the work of the Battle Group in Visoko, Sarajevo and Srebrenica. I have fond and lasting memories of him during our time in that cold & dusty concrete monolith we called home in Visoko as well the time we spent waiting around at Camp Stables in Lipik Croatia for a deployment into Banja Luka.
