Armand met his lovely wife Albertine in 1941 and married in 1944 while serving as a Sergeant in the Army. Dad started his own farm while raising his family. He also held a full-time job at the Manitoba Cold Storage till his retirement at age 65. He enjoyed his many years on the farm and we cherish many happy memories of large family gatherings on Dads large, well groomed yard. Many will remember having had their wedding pictures taken there. Dad and Mom enjoyed many evenings playing crib and cards with their special friends Armand and Jeanette Legault. Dad was an honorary member of the Knights of Columbus and a very active member of Le Club Amical. Bingo calling was his specialty. ADIEU Adieu enfants cheris, parents et amis.
