EARL (ORILE) DUCHARME 1927 - 2014 It is with heavy hearts, we announce Earl (Orile) Ducharme, at the age of 87, peacefully passed away, after a two month battle with heart disease, on January 27, 2014 at Beausejour Hospital. Dad was predeceased by his wife Rita. Dad is survived by his six children, Sharon (Chris), Rocky, Wanda (Hank), Connie, Jeff (Kelli), Vicki (Tom). Papa will be missed by his 16 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. Dad loved working in the bush and was self-employed, working in the logging industry all of his life. Dad enjoyed operating his skidder, cutting and splitting firewood for his customers, and was very fortunate to have been able to do this up to the day he became ill. In keeping with Dad's wishes, cremation will take place following a private family viewing with interment to follow at a later date. A special "Thank you" to Dr. Van Rensburg and all the staff at the Beausejour Hospital for the special care given to Dad over the last two months. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation, 200-6 Donald Street, Winnipeg, MB R3L 0K6.
