Leo will be deeply missed by his loving wife Cecile (Rouleau) of 53 years, daughters Lisa and her sons Ryan and Mark; Rachelle and husband David; his four brothers Marcel (Elmire), Raymond (Gertrude), Roger (Helen), Armand (Diane); his three sisters-in-law, Lorraine (Leandre), Irene (Jan), Julie; brother-in-law Gerry (Stella); numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. Over the years Leo became a true craftsman who took tremendous pride in his work. His talent for painting and decorating was second to none and he was a true credit to his profession. Leo was a dedicated family man who worked hard as a provider from a young age. He spent many weekends camping with his wife and two daughters. During retirement he continued an active life attending to his gardens and walking the mall. His pride and joy were his grandsons Mark and Ryan who referred to him as "Pa". He enjoyed watching his grandsons play sports and never missed a game. Special thanks to the staff at St. Boniface Hospital Palliative Care Unit for the outstanding service. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, June 26, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. with reception following the service. A private family interment will take place at a later time.
