RENE PAILLE It is with our deepest love and saddened hearts that the family announces the sudden passing of René Paillé, on October 24, 2013 He was predeceased by his father: Jean-Emile Paillé. He will forever be remembered by his wife and best bud: Brigitte (née Boulet); his pride and joys, his daughters, Stéphanie (Pierre Dupuis) and Lisa (Alex Wheal). He also leaves to mourn his mother: Hélène (née Cosyns) and his brothers and sisters: Albert (Jacinthe), Monique, Louise Young (Ken), Denise Paillé-Jones (Charles), Gilles (Ginette), Gisèle DesAutels and Maurice (Julie). He will also be missed by his mother-in-law, Eliane Boulet, his brothers and sisters-in-law, uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews, cousins and as well as his many friends who knew him as: RP, Renpaille, Paillé, Zap and The Callaway Kid. René was born on October 7, 1957, in Saint-Boniface, Manitoba. He married the love of his life and best friend Brigitte on May 14, 1983. He was the proud and dedicated owner of R. Paille Electric for over 30 years. René led a balanced and passionate life. He needed no money, fortune or fame, he had all the riches he needed in his wife and daughters. A Funeral Mass will be held at St.-Boniface Cathedral, 190, avenue de la Cathédrale, Winnipeg, MB, Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. with Father Ron Léger, c.s.v. officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family will be setting up a golf Scholarship for local golfers. Cher Papi, je repense à nos plus beaux souvenirs, nos voyages, nos dîners, l'installation de nos maisons de Noël, nos jasettes et je songe à toute la place que tu occuperas toujours dans mon coeur. Je me souviens des valeurs et des leçons que tu m'as apprises, et je vois maintenant que c'est ce qui a contribué à faire de moi, la femme que je suis Tu seras mon ange gardien qui veillera sur moi, ma famille et bébé Dupuis. (Insert our father-daughter handshake here) Stéphanie Daddy, j'ai eu l'honneur de partager ta plus grande passion dans ta vie, le golf. Les bons moments passés sur les terrains de golf ne seront jamais oubliés. Tu m'as tout appris au sujet du jeu et au sujet de la vie. Tu m'as donné le courage au golf et dans la vie: "to swing my heart out and kick some butt". Nos ressemblances, notre sens d'humour, notre regard sur la vie ne sont que quelques-unes de nos meilleures qualités. Je vais continuer de te rendre fier. Maintenant et toujoursDaddy's Little Girl - Lisa Il ne faut jamais regretter ce que l'on a fait dans la vie, c'est ce que l'on n'a pas fait qu'il faut regretter. René n'avait pas de regrets. Il a profité pleinement de chaque moment de sa vie et il vous invite à faire de même." It's not what you do, it's how you do it. It's not what you see, it's how you look at it. It's not how your life is, it's how you live it." Je t'aime mon amour! - Brigitte Au revoir Papi, Daddy, mon amour. On t'aime bien gros! -xox- Desjardins 233-4949 1-888-233-4949 www.desjardinsfuneralchapel.ca

Condolences & Memories (44 entries)

  • It is with much sorrow that we find out about the passing of Rene. Rene was not only our electrician but became a friend to us. Rene was always a straight shooter that loved to talk. At the end of every job he would always tell us that he would have to take some time off his bill because of his talking. My wife would always bake Rene his favourite pumpkin loaf dessert when he came over while he was working. Rene was a passionate man who took great pride in his job and his family. When he talked about his daughters he was beaming with pride. The world has lost a very special person. - Posted by: Brian & Kelly Wilding (Client) on: Jan 30, 2015

  • C'ést avec peine que je viens d'apprendre du départ de René. Je me rappel de les visites à la Caisse pour remplacer les "ballister" pour nos lumiéres. René avait toujours un sourire et un bons sens d'humour. L'obitoire que vous, la famille a écrit est tellement beau. Mes sincères sympathies. - Posted by: Rachel Pilon (Caisse Groupe Financier) on: Dec 03, 2013

  • I grew up on Cabana Place with Rene and also went to school with him. He was always so polite and nice to everyone he knew. Spent time with him at St. Lupicin a couple of years ago. I'm glad I got to see him. Take care. - Posted by: Nicole Laurin and Family (High school buddy and neighbor) on: Nov 30, 2013

  • I arrived in St-Boniface for the last year in high school at le Collège de St-Boniface for the year 1974 - 1975. That is when I met René. He even helped me find board and room at Mrs Degagné where we were all 3 of us living together with his youngest son Léo. I have found memories that I will cherish all my life. Thank you for reading me. - Posted by: Georges Horvath from Montréal, QC (Great College Friend in St-Boniface) on: Nov 11, 2013

  • In my previous tribute I mentioned that I saw Rene at my father's funeral but actually it was his dear brother Maurice.

My deepest sympathy to his family. - Posted by: Lise Kent (Fredette) (Neighbour) on: Nov 09, 2013

Rene a toujours été une personne travaillante et joviale avec un bon sens d'humour, de joie de vivre, et pleins d'histoires à raconter.

C'était très évident que sa famille était très importante pour lui et je suis certaine qu'il sera toujours près de vous et veillera sur vous jusqu'à temps que vous vous rencontrerai un jour. - Posted by: Julie Turenne-Maynard (Ami et collègue ) on: Nov 07, 2013

  • Just shocked to read about Rene. We would hang around time to time especially night times playing with cars, mostly making them shine.

  • Rene was a great person and was always upbeat and happy. Knew Rene for many years from Pine Ridge Golf Course and enjoyed playing against him in men's league.

  • I first met Rene at Pine Ridge and I last talked to him there. We shared many hundreds of golf games and more than that in talking, drinking and eating. To know Rene was to know everything about him and what was not to like. He was passionate about his work, about golf, about life and most of all, his family. We shared many stories and laughs and tried to solve each others problems and consoled each other in times of need. A truer friend I have never had. I want to ask the Callaway Kid why does it have to end this way but I know his answer; "Because it does". Thanks for the time we had partner. - Posted by: Robert Vandenbyllaardt (Golf Partner) on: Oct 28, 2013

In 2011 we spent time together when he did some wiring in our home and it was great to hear of his feelings for his family and our mutual friends. Rene took great care to do everything well; he would never walk away saying, "That's good enough". I hope his family will be comforted by the memory of a great guy who was far more than good enough. - Posted by: Bill Stevens (Friend) on: Oct 28, 2013

  • My mentor and friend will never be forgoten. He is than man who gave me my start as an electrician, that grew into a life long friend. He was more than a boss to me, he was like an older brother. I was with him when his familly started to grow. During any of our conversations over the years he would always say how proud he was of his little girls. His familly was everthing to him. I met Rene one day on the side of the road for a job interview and never would have thought it would turn into a life long friend. He took a chance on me that changed my life and for that I am forever greatful. He always spoke his mind with no sugar coating. I would call it a John Wayne personality. He taught me more than how to be a good electrician but how to be a great person. No words can be said that can express what Rene has meant to me. So can we all remember him and celebrate the man we all knew by raiseing a coffee and saying one of his favorite words, FORE ......Good-bye my friend . - Posted by: Kevin Ritchie (Friend and co-worker) on: Oct 27, 2013

  • Have known and enjoyed talking with Rene for the past few years. We talked about Golf, life, family, business...we are all sad at our Shop, and hope the Paille family will bear up without his presence in your lives. - Posted by: Keith James (Friend, Business) on: Oct 27, 2013
