DENNIS H. DeBRINCAT After a lengthy battle with cancer, it is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dennis Harold DeBrincat, on August 14, 2004. Demonstrating great courage throughout his illness, Dennis died peacefully surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Winnipeg on June 22, 1931 to Pauline and Matthew DeBrincat who immigrated to Canada from Malta. One of five children, Dennis was a talented hockey player and remained a sports enthusiast his entire life. Dennis was employed as a registrar at Red River Community College for two years and went on to enjoy a 43 year career as a purchasing agent for the Government of Manitoba. Dennis married his wife Willa on July 17, 1963 and they had two beautiful children, Mark and Maureen. He was a dedicated and reliable husband and father. His kind and gentle nature earned the admiration of all who knew him. He is survived by his loving wife Willa, and their two children Maureen and Mark (Gina) three grandchildren, Jeffrey, Aisha and Pascal; sister Frances McDonald (John) of Winnipeg, MB and brother Philip DeBrincat (Pat) from Palo Alto, California. He was a well-loved uncle and friend. His memory is forever engrained in our hearts and will sustain us in life. At Denniss request, cremation has taken place and a Memorial Service will be held on Thursday August 19, 2004 1:00 p.m. at St. Ignatius Church, southwest corner of Corydon and Stafford. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to do so, may make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.
