BENOIT NAULT 1933 - 2002 Benoit Nault of Ste. Anne, MB died suddenly but peacefully at his cottage on Sunday, June 23, 2002. Ben was born to Leonide and Zenaide on December 23, 1933 in Richer, MB.

Ben worked diligently through correspondence to become a journeyman carpenter. He began his carpentry career with Grumman Construction and eventually started his own company. He continued to share his skills and talents into retirement, always willing to lend a helping hand. Many family projects are lasting tributes of his attention to detail. Benoit will be remembered for his practical jokes, "joie de vivre", sharing his love and support, his pride, his kindness, generosity and his keen interest in the lives of everyone he touched. His unfailing love and devotion as a husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather will be forever a cherished memory.
