PAUL JOSEPH GAUTHIER January 15,1922 - September 15,2001 Peacefully, at the Tache Nursing Home after a lengthy illness, surrounded by family, Paul Gauthier passed away. Paul was born in Fisher Branch, MB. He farmed there until 1956, then moved the family to McKenzie Island, ON where he went to work in the mines. In 1967, the move was made to Winnipeg and he became an employee of the housekeeping staff at the Misericordia Hospital where he worked until a stroke caused his early retirement in 1975. Hunting was his life long passion and he spent many happy times with his son and nephews pursuing this pass-time. Another favourite, was playing his violin. Paul is survived by his loving wife Alma (Dauphinais) one brother Rosaire; his son Elmer (Frieda) two daughters, Dianna and Rosemarie; three grandchildren, Danielle, Kane, and Janice (Vince) Rigg; one great- granddaughter Sydney; and numerous nieces and nephews. Our heart felt thanks to all the special staff at the Tache Centre for their care and support during the eight years he resided there.
