Dad was born December 29, 1907. He was raised near St. Jean-Baptiste, MB. He farmed for over 39 years in Arnaud, MB. In 1969, he and Armande retired in St. Malo. To keep himself busy, dad built wooden toys and made Christmas decorations which he generously gave to family and friends. He also dedicated his time to the Club La Berceuse. He was an active member of the Knights of Columbus. In 1995, he moved to the Chalet Malouin with mom. Shortly after, dad, needing special care, resided at The Repos-Jolys in St. Pierre. He was well-known for his cooking skills, especially his pea soup recipe. He was handy doing housework and gardening. Adonai had a knack for fixing everything. Our father was a very caring person not only to his family but to complete strangers whom he would invite for meals. Dad loved family gatherings. In November, he and mom had celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary. The family extends a special thank you to Dr. V. Suciu, Dr. A. Van Wyk, S. Yolande Marion, Una from We Care and to the staff of Repos-Jolys and the Centre Medico Social De Salaberry.
