YVON FORTIER Peacefully on May 19, 2003, Yvon Fortier, age 75, passed away at the Health Science Centre, with his family at his side. Yvon was predeceased by his dear wife Therese. Dad is lovingly remembered by his children, Lise Dudar (Ron), Jackie Baker (Rob), Denis, Claudette Dombek (Bill) and Gisele Gottfried (Scott) 11 grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and his sisters, Madeleine and Yvette. Living his life to the fullest, Dad was a Jack of all trades. His passions were: his family and friends, fishing, games, dancing and playing pool. Yvon was also an active member of the Belgium Club. His great sense of humour will be sorely missed. The family would like to thank the doctors and staff at both the St. Boniface General Hospital and Health Science Centre for their valiant efforts and kindness. Cremation has taken place.
