JOSEPH ALPHONSE BOURGEOIS
April 18, 1926 - March 10, 2020
Joseph is survived by his loving family, his sister Lucille; his children, Alan and Hilda, Donald, Mariette, Georgette and Lyle; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by his wife Grace, his youngest son Lance, his parents, brother Mathias, sister-in-law Freda and brother-in-law George.
Joseph grew up in Letellier and moved to Winnipeg in 1942. He proudly served in the Navy during the Second World War on the ship HMCS Malpeck. He married Grace Hossack in 1945 and retired from CP Rail in 1989. After Grace died in 1998, Joseph was blessed with the opportunity to do volunteer work at Concordia Hospital and St. Joseph the Worker Church. This became a passion of his and he enjoyed being of service until December 2019.
Joseph has been cremated and a Funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, at 2:00 p.m. at St. Joseph the Worker Church, 505 Brewster Street, Transcona.
