HENRY (HARRY) DEBENHAM July 26, 1925 - December 29, 2004 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear dad and Poppy on December 29, 2004 at the age of 79. His beloved wife Betty predeceased Harry on November 6, 2004. His life ended with her that day. They were soul mates, in love with each other for 54 years. He missed her more than words can ever express. Harry was also predeceased by his son-in-law Raymond Marshall, whose loss he felt deeply. Poppy leaves to mourn his two daughters, Susan (Robert) Nykoluk and Bonnie Marshall, to whom he has been totally devoted to since the day they were born. He told them every day how much he loved them and how proud he was of them. Poppy also leaves behind five grandchildren, Chris (Erin) Marshall, Craig (Brigitte) Marshall, Colin (Tiffany) Marshall, Rhandi (Carlos) Governo, and Kristy (Jason) Coreau as well as 10 great-grandchildren, Brittany, Courtney, Paige, Emily, Matthew, Kale, Hanna, Gracy, Annabella, and Madalena. He loved them all with his whole heart and soul. Our dad loved and respected our mom. Not only did he live for her and her for him, but they also devoted their lives to their family. How truly lucky we all have been to have such wonderful role models in our lives. Our dad was a good man but in our eyes, he was a great man. No father on earth could have loved his family more. We were his life. Betty, I come to be with you now. You are the love of my life, you are my life. We love you dad, more than anything, now go be with mom (Nani) and be happy again. Cremation and private family service has taken place as to our dad's wishes. In lieu of flowers, please donate to The Ronald McDonald House, 566 Bannatyne Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3A 0G7. It would be greatly appreciated.
