He was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Emma; two brothers, Michel and Louis; one sister-in-law Alice Boulet and two brothers-in-law, Noel Boulet and Joseph Buisson. Elzear was born in Dunrea, MB on May 8, 1921. He lived in Fort Garry all his married life and spent 28 years working for Balcaen & Sons before starting his own business - South End Fabrication. He took early retirement and spent many wonderful winters with his wife in Arizona where they enjoyed square dancing. Our father was very devoted to our mother, his wife of 54 years. After she suffered a stroke, he cared for her devotedly at home for eight years until her health dictated she could no longer stay home. He faithfully visited her every day at the Deer Lodge Centre keeping her company and pampering and teasing her in that gentle way of his. His love and dedication for our mother was unquestioning. They are now together - it was meant to be. Dad, you were an inspiration to us all with your faith, devotion and love.
