Yvon lived in St. Boniface for many years raising his children with Claire until they moved to Dufresne, MB. They resided there for over 40 years. Life was very busy with a trucking business and tending to beautiful grounds with his wife. Yvon and Claire also fostered teenage boys for over 30 years. He took great pleasure seeing his children, grandchildren and foster children. Once he retired they moved back to Winnipeg until it was time to move to the Villa Youville Nursing Home in Ste Anne, MB. He lived a very good life and will be missed by all who knew him. We will miss his humour, as he always was trying to tell us a good one.
Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held at the Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodière Blvd. with interment to follow at the Glen Lawn Cemetery on June 13, 2024, at 2:00 p.m.
The family would like to thank the numerous staff at the Villa Youville for the excellent care given to our father.
