ALLAN EUGENE LONGMUIR Peacefully at the Eriksdale Personal Care Home our dad, brother, uncle and papa passed away on November 27, 2014 at the age of 84 years. Allan was born on December 18, 1930 in St. Boniface, MB to Allan and Marie Longmuir and lived in many different places while growing up - St. Boniface, Hudson Bay, Morris, The Pas, Wabowden and finally settled in Eriksdale. Allan adopted a daughter, Marcella, in 1985 while living in Wabowden. Allan raised Marcella with assistance from her biological mother Joyce and stepfather Arman until she began a family of her own. Allan worked for Mid-West Contracting for a number of years stringing hydro lines from Ontario to British Columbia before settling in Wabowden and establishing his own business - a taxi driver. Allan was a people person and would often help others less fortunate when the opportunity to do so arose. On his retirement from his business he resided in the "Friendly Villa" in Eriksdale where he tended to the facilities garden and ensured the garden was well cared for and weed free until he was no longer physically able to do so. He then moved to the Eriksdale Personal Care Home for his remaining years. Many vacations over the years were spent with his daughter and her family, his grandchildren were treasured and his great-grandchildren were adored. He is survived by his daughter Marcella (Jamie); his siblings: Pauline Lundale, Ralph (Anne) Longmuir, Raymond (Cindy) Longmuir, Dorothy (Paul) Bilodeau and Bob (Pat) Longmuir; along with his brother-in-law Art Forsyth; his grandchildren; Shane (Nolita) O'Brien, Kristtin (Dustin) Hatley and Eian; his great-grandchildren; Colton O'Brien, Collin O'Brien and Lola Hatley, along with numerous nieces, nephews and friends, namely, Juliette Wedensky. He was predeceased by his father Allan Longmuir Sr.; his mother Marie-Ange Longmuir; his sister Gladys Forsyth, brother-in-law Bob Lundalem and nephews Brandon and Gerrie. He will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed. In keeping with Allan's wishes, cremation has taken place. A private family gathering and burial will take place at a later date. Thanks to all the doctors and staff at E. M. Crowe Memorial Hospital, Eriksdale Personal Care Home, and family and friends for all your help and support over the years. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Allan may be made to the Eriksdale Personal Care Home, c/o Sharon Thorgilsson, PO Box 130, Eriksdale, MB R0C 0W0.
