He is predeceased by his parents, Clovis St. Amant and Yvonne (Grégoire), brother Marc, sister Raymonde Bazinet, sister-in-law Rose and brother-in-law Herman Labossière. Dad will be affectionately remembered and deeply missed by the love of his life, his caring wife of 61 years, Cécile (Chouinard), as well as his children Suzanne (Paul André), Danielle (Cal Wookey), Carole (Howard Schulman), Jacques (Debbie) and Pierre (Collette). Missing his soft spoken and gentle soul are his grandchildren Natalie (James Stefishen), Jean-Paul (Suzanne), and Joel André; Janelle (Casey), Jérémie (Alex) Wookey; Sarah Schulman; Rochelle, Justin and Julien St. Amant as well as his great-grandchildren Mia and Sélina Stefishen; Rielle and Alexandre André and Santiago André. Pépère was a warm and mischievous trickster with a hearty chuckle and a proud smile. Roméo, the eldest of his siblings will also be fondly remembered by his brothers and sisters Fernand (Lucille), Annette Bazinet (Henri), Isabelle Labossiere, Gilles (Doris), Georges(Pat), Eveline Shiewe (Wilfred), Bernard (Barbara) as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.

He will also be warmly remembered by his in-laws Thérèse Morin, Alice Plamondon, Denis (Doreen), Eva Fréchette (Raymond), Adéline Major (Jim), Victor (Cecilia), Lucien, and Lucille Neufeld (Stan). Dad was born in St. Jean-Baptiste on February 17, 1930. As a young man, he began his professional career in 1948 as a banker at the Banque National du Canada in St. Jean- Baptiste. He went on to work at the St. Boniface and St. Pierre branches and in 1968 moved back to Winnipeg to act as manager of the new Portage Avenue branch. He ended his banking career at the Caisse Populaire de St. Boniface in 1993. He was well respected and beloved by his colleagues and clients. Dad never really retired, working as a Bilingual Arbitrator for the federal board of referee until he was 83. Over the course of his life Dad was an active member in the community. Fondly recognized and remembered as an honourable, trustworthy and loyal man, he served on many boards and volunteered and contributed to many organizations in various roles, the last being his involvement at Place Eugénie where he resided. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus since 1957. Dad and mom enjoyed many blissful years as Snowbirds, travelling south to Mesa, Arizona. He also had the opportunity to travel to Alaska, Yukon, France, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Trinidad, and Mexico. His greatest joy was being surrounded by his family. Dad was always willing and ready to help. No project was ever too big or small whether it was moving a garage or chasing squirrels out of attics. We enjoyed many camping trips, summer trips around Canada and many years of fun at the cabin in the woods in Richer. He enjoyed fishing and canoe trips with his sons, grandsons and sons-in-law. Special thanks to Dr. P. G. Mehta. Profound appreciation to the staff (especially the Dream Team) and volunteers on the Palliative Care unit at the St. Boniface Hospital. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the St. Boniface Hospital Foundation C1026-409 Tache Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6. In honor of dad's memory, inspire kindness and pay it forward.

Au revoir Dad, puisse Dieu t'accueillir auprès de lui. Au revoir Dad, reposes en paix, tu le mérites, car tu as admirablement accompli ta mission, Au revoir Dad, tu nous manques énormément.

I had the pleasure of having Romeo as my best friend and cousin. We grue up together in St Jean and he also resided with my parents and I when he worked at the bank as it was closer to his work. He loved playing cards with my Mom and Dad (Joseph & Louisa Collette). Later in life while he was Manager of the BCN. Romeo and I went for lunch several times a week together as Friends and Business acquaintances. Romeo and I never failed to call each-others on our anniversary for many years. Gilberte and I, send our condolences to Romeo's Wife Cecile and his whole Family. I will miss his telephone call on my next birthday (86) next fall. Romeo, I will be thinking of you always.
