Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJOSEPH BERNARD CHARLES EMILE LAVERDIERE
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our brother Emile / uncle Em. He was predeceased by parents, Lorraine, Bernie and sister Louise. He is survived by sister Dolorese (Larry Reid), brother Phil and his son Dylan Devisser and fiancé Renee Sterling, niece Jacquie (John Clarke), great-nephews, Ben and Dan, niece and Goddaughter Michelle (Keith Kotelko).
Em loved retirement, hockey, reading, cooking and music; playing guitar, drums and sound production and boy could he fix anything. He recently told me “the last two and a half years have been the happiest in my life” referring to recording original audio and video for our YouTube channel. He also found tremendous joy in cooking and ‘over the top’ Sunday dinners. He will be missed by everyone whose lives he touched.
A Celebration of Life will be held on June 12, 2024, 1:00 p.m. at E.J. Coutu & Co. 680 Archibald Street, Winnipeg.

My Condolences go out to the Laverdiere family. I haven't see both Phil and Emile for quite some time, but I do remember some great times around a lot of music. We sure did have a lot of laughs. RIP my good friend. - Posted by: Dale Foster (friend) on: Jun 01, 2024
