ARMAND JOSEPH BOUCHARD It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of our husband, father and grandfather, Armand Joseph Bouchard, on Sunday, November 21, 1999 at the age of 82 years. Armand was born in Fisher Branch on May 30, 1917. At an early age he took on the responsibility of working on the family farm, supplementing the farm income by working winters in the bush camps and gold mines of Ontario and B.C. He married Susan in 1948, and they began their own farming operation on the quarter section of land where he lived until the time of his passing. Armands love of farming kept him actively involved in such activities as hauling hay and feeding cattle up until his recent illness. Armand will be sadly missed by his loving wife Susan; his children Valerie, Donald (Jeanette), David (Joanne), Laura, Louise (Paul), Gerry (Phyllis) and his grandchildren; Joe, Gwene, Jamie, Jason, Kristin, Jenelle, Jordan, Keri, Jaclyn and Justin Bouchard and Mickeal and Alexander Nevakshonoff. He will be fondly remembered by his sisters; Irene, Theresa, Alice, Jeanette, Margaret and Eva; brothers Roland and Jerry, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Joseph in 1970 and Maria in 1980 and two sisters, Marie in 1990 and Lucille in 1995. The family wishes to thank Dr. Gregg Andreas and Dr. M. Engelbrecht and the staff of Percy Moore Hospital for their care and kindness. Prayers will be held Thursday, November 25 at 8:00 p.m. at the Roman Catholic Church in Fisher Branch. Funeral Mass will follow on Friday, November 26 at 11:00 a.m. If family and friends desire, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or The Fisher Personal Care Home.
