Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryEMILE LEOPOLD ANDRE DUHARD Surrounded by his family in his home, Emile passed away on Wednesday, November 30, 2016, following a hard fought battle with cancer, at the age of 68 years. Remaining to forever cherish Emile's memory are his wife, Glenda; his children, Christian (Jackie), Jodi (Byron) and Rebecca (Jeremy); stepchildren, Billie-Jo and Jean-Paul; three grandchildren; as well as sisters, Marguerite (Wallace), Suzanne (Rick), Annette and Gisele (Glen). He was predeceased by his parents, Marietta and Andre; stepfather, Knud; his paternal and maternal grandparents; and his brother-in-law, Danny. Emile was born in Ste. Rose du Lac, Manitoba on March 16, 1948. He attended high school at Ste. Rose Collegiate Institute and went on to continue his education at the University of Manitoba before going on to become a Chartered Accountant. After graduating, Emile worked at some major accounting firms before establishing his own firm, Duhard & Cousins in 1992. He was a very dedicated accountant who took immense pride in his profession and earned the respect of his clients. He started to ease himself into retirement in 2013. Emile was an avid curler and golfer. In 1996 he became a member of the St. Boniface Golf and Country Club which he considered his summer home. Many years were spent at the Club with his son and a group of golfers who became Emile's close friends. Even in his last moments, he expressed his love/hate relationship with the 17th hole. As a father, Emile was always there for his children, offering advice and support whenever it was needed. He had a great relationship with his grandchildren and was generous with his time - and he never left them without a few coins to add to their piggy bank. A celebration of Emile's life will be held on Monday, December 5, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. at St. Boniface Golf and Country Club, 100 Youville Street, Winnipeg. Thank you to the doctors and nurses at Cancer Care, Victoria General Hospital and Health Sciences Centre, and to Dr. L. Cummings. The family also wishes to extend a thank you to friends, co-workers, clients and neighbours for their support. In lieu of flowers, donations in Emile's memory may be made to The Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, MB, R3C 2B7, or by credit card at 204-774-7483 and designate funds for Mesothelioma Research in Manitoba.

Both Bruce and I have such fond memories of times together with Emile as neighbours and friends. Christian, Jodi and Rebecca grew up with our children and we enjoyed a close relationship with them as "family friends". We cherish those very special years, struggling together as young parents, but having a lot of fun in the process! We had the pleasure of meeting Glenda some years ago on one of Emile's business trips to Vancouver, where we now live. We lovingly send our condolences and pray you find comfort and healing in the wonderful warm memories each of you have of Emile. He is forever in our hearts. Much love, Susan & Bruce Farmery - Posted by: Susan and Bruce Farmery (friend) on: Dec 04, 2016

You will be missed by many. Now that you have earned your "wings", enjoy that sunny, warm golf game. Hoping for a hole-in-one for you. I thought I heard God say, "if I knew you were coming, I would have baked you a cake". RIP. - Posted by: Nancy Saharic (sister-in-law) on: Dec 04, 2016

Terribly sad news. My deepest condolences to the family. I am going to miss his wit, his sense of humour, his knowledge and his companionship. Golf was more fun with him in the group. Hasta luego Emile. May God bless your soul. - Posted by: Terry Paul () on: Dec 04, 2016

My most sincere condolences to the family of Emile Duhard. My relationship with Emile was that he was the accountant for 4 generations of my extended family. I think we all considered him as a friend as well.we missed him so much when he retired and at his encouragement continued to call him at home after his retirement. He took a personal interest in his clients and helped us through a few difficult times over the years that went beyond the call of duty. It was a privilege to work with this man of integrity over the years, he will be long remembered and greatly missed. To the family, cherish the memories and may God richly bless and comfort you in your time of loss. - Posted by: Kris cook () on: Dec 03, 2016
