He's also survived by two sons, Kenneth of Winnipeg, Philip (Gwen) of Lockport; sister Angie Kunstar of Kelowna, BC; brother Fred of Renton, WA; and brother-in-law Stan Siver of Winnipeg. Emmanuel was predeceased by his son Dennis in infancy. Emmanuel was very proud that he was born on July 1, one of 11 children. He spent four and one-half years in the Navy, serving on Convoy Duty. He was a physical training instructor, with boxing as his specialty. He was also an amateur boxer in his early years. He was in the catering business most of his life. He loved the outdoors and with his family went camping during the summer and later enjoyed our cottage at Victoria Beach. After retirement we went on many bus tours from coast to coast and far south as Memphis. He enjoyed feeding the birds everyday.
