RAYMOND GUIMOND Suddenly on November 16, 1999, Raymond Guimond, aged 57 years, beloved husband of Mary Guimond, passed away. Raymond was a very hard working man who worked for Abitibi Price for over half of his lifetime, and had many fond memories of that work experience. He was very instrumental at the Alcare Centre and the many A.A. meetings he used to participate in either as a speaker or just to go to and listen. He was very proud that the Creator gave him the strength to overcome the bad habit of Alcohol, but he never judged anybody that had that problem. One of Raymonds favourite pastimes was watching hockey, and he was a very devoted fan of the South East Blades. He spent the last ten years in the area of education as a board member. This was the thrill of his life because children were his life, his love for them had no measurement. His motto was - love conquers all. Raymond is survived by his loving wife Mary; sons, Daniel, Christopher, and Pernell; daughter Cheryl; special granddaughter Skye; grandchildren, Ashley, Walter, Lance,and Cassidy. Mother Margaret Chartrand of Winnipeg; sisters, Cecile (Douglas) Houston and children of Winnipeg, Catherine (Robert) Courchene of Sagkeeng, Mary Louise (Karman) Agg of Calgary, Nellie Rose, and Linda Rose; brothers, Norman (Gloria) of Sagkeeng, Alfred, Lionel and Henry of Winnipeg, George and Alvin of Sagkeeng.
