Our father was born in LaBroquerie, Manitoba on June 10, 1913. In 1925 at the age of 12 years, dad was sent to study in Holland at St. Joseph DEcluse. It was there he became an accomplished pianist. He loved classical music and his favourite was Chopins Polonnaise. In 1938 at the age of 25, he married Marguerite Mahe and had a family of six. Dad was a self-starter and his main occupation was building contractor. He loved life and celebrated it with humour and passion. His philosophy look on the bright side- this we will remember.
