DUJARDIN: Ferdinand (Fred) Ross Dujardin, 72 of Shilo, passed away Sunday June 28, 2015 at the Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre of a brain aneurysm. He was born on February 10, 1943 to Ross and Gabe Dujardin. Fred grew up Deloraine, MB, where he went to school and helped out with the family business. He married Judy Desender, July 31, 1964 and from this union Patti and Randy were brought into this world. Fred and Judy started their business, Dujardin Lesisure Centre in 1978. Over the years Fred enjoyed racing snowmobiles with the Rumblers, hanging out at the cabin at Lake Metigoshe, hunting, golfing and curling. After a divorce in 1984, Fred met his soulmate Carole Ginter. Fred and Carole moved to Brandon and after Fred’s mother’s death they moved to Fred’s family home to Shilo where they resided until their deaths. Fred had ran his worn business, been a Curling Ice Maker, greens keeper, and worked with a paving crew for Zenith Paving before he retired. After retirement Fred enjoyed golfing, fishing, and traveling. He reconnected with the Catholic Faith and became president of The Shilo Service Club. Throughout his life Fred had a love of music, singing and dancing - many dance cards will be empty now!
