CYRILLE EMILE LEBLANC It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of our dearly beloved husband, father, papa, and brother Cyrille on Monday, January 10, 2000. He was predeceased by his parents, Lucien and Blanche LeBlanc; parents-in-law, Bill and May Craig; sister Fleurette, and brothers, George, Julien and Sylvere. Left to cherish his loving memories are his wife Ivy, of 37 years; his daughters, Heather (Peter) Raymond; Maureen (Darryl) Lussier; Cindy (Denis) Laroche; his sons, Brian (Angie) and Darcy (girlfriend Audrey) his nine grandchildren, Yvonne and Sean Raymond, Matthew and Kyra Lussier, Kyle and Tyler Laroche, Christopher and Michael LeBlanc and Hailee LeBlanc who provided their papa with many hours of happiness. He is also survived by his brothers, Hector, Leo (Dorothy), Alain (Terry) and Aubert (Ruth) and his sisters, Elida and Jeanette; his brother-in-law Allan (Norma) Craig; his sisters-in-law, Katherine and Denise LeBlanc, Verna (Linn) Johnston; and his many nieces, nephews and friends. Cyrille was born in Domremy, SK on May 8, 1931. After moving several times, he brought the family to settle in Winnipeg. Most of his working life was spent as a truck driver, retiring from Pauls Hauling in 1995. In his spare time and retirement years, he loved gardening (especially his tomatoes), canning, spending time with his brother Aubert, and baking. His "papa bread" will be missed by all. Cyrille had a way of making his wife and each of his children and grandchildren feel special in their own way. They meant the world to him. The family wishes to thank all the staff at the Concordia Hospital for their excellent care and compassion in Cyrilles final days. Viewing will take place at Thomson Funeral Chapels on Thursday, January 13, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Funeral service will be held Friday, January 14 at 1:30 p.m. at St. Ignatius Church, 255 Stafford St. Interment to follow at St. Vital Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Manitoba Lung Association. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I am at peace. 2 Timothy 4:7 THOMSON FUNERAL CHAPELS 783-7211
