It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gilbert on Dec. 16th at the age of 68.
He is survived by his children: Alain and Monique (Chris), his beloved grandson Rhys, his sisters: Muriel (Norman), Jeanne (Jim), and Annette.
He is now reunited with his loving wife Jeannine of 42 years. He was predeceased by his parents: Maurice and Yvonne (nee Fouasse) and brother Roger.
Dad was an honest man, very ambitious and had relentless work ethics. He loved owning his business, Keystone Surveys in Steinbach till his retirement.
Gil was an outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and participated in many sports, especially snorkeling on his extensive trips with his late wife Jeannine. He was so proud to be a Pépère to Rhys and very happy to have met his grandson.
Thanks for your love. Memories last forever.
A funeral mass followed by a reception will take place on Thursday, December 28th, 2023, at 1:30pm at Paroisse St. Martyrs Canadiens, 289 Dussault Ave. Winnipeg. As Dad had a dislike of black, the family requests everyone to wear colors.
In lieu of flowers, a tribute can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
