Born on February 24, 1954 in Notre Dame de Lourdes, Manitoba, Edgard had lots of fun growing up with his five siblings, raising rabbits, hosting wrestling matches, playing sports and games, snowshoeing, hunting and swimming. As a young adult, he became a life guard and enjoyed working as a surveyor and volunteering as a Big Brother. Following his studies at University of Manitoba and Red River College, Edgard made his career as a Medical Laboratory Technologist. He was well-liked by his colleagues and through his passion for taking and testing blood, Edgard became known as the "French mosquito".

Il adorait son chien Duke, ses lapins et ses voitures.

We have been away-so sorry to hear of Edgard's death. I did not work in the same department at Gamma Dynacare but often spoke with Edgard at coffee break and passing through the department. I have been retired a few years now but remember Edgard fondly. He was a lovely gentle soul-always positive with a great sense of humour. - Posted by: Susan Stevens (co-worker at Gamma Dynacare) on: Aug 13, 2015

i worked with Edgard for a number of years at Fort Garry Care Center on Pembina Highway and always looked forward to the days he was there to draw blood. He and I had many laughs together and enjoyed each other's humor and wit! He was such a breath of fresh air! I am so sorry to hear of his passing and send love and hugs to his family at this difficult time. - Posted by: Heather Nielsen (work friend) on: Jul 30, 2015

Edgard was a friend that always seemed to say the right thing when I would meet up to him, or when he came to my shop. He was always interested to know how I was , and if I was working too much . He would say ...... You're wasting your youth ! Have some fun ! Knowing that I was a gardener .......he would always ask about my tomatoes. Always a big smile. He will be missed by all. - Posted by: Claude Lemoine (friend) on: Jul 30, 2015

I am so sorry to hear about Edgar's passing. I remember Edgar and your family so well from Cardinal and Notre Dame de Lourdes where we visited your family when we would come to see our grandfather Louis LeHingrat. It was so nice to talk to you Arthur at my father's funeral last week and I was so sorry not to get a chance to talk to Jill. I still remember us as teenagers and young adults. How time flies for each of us. Again please accept my condolences. Lorraine Hannah (nee LeHingrat) - Posted by: Lorraine Hannah (Friend and almost relative!) on: Jul 30, 2015

I worked with Edgard while surveying for Manitoba Hydro, in numerous places throughout the province. We had some good times and I am sure he had a lot of stories to tell. My condolences to Edgard's family and frends during this time. Rest in Peace Eddy. - Posted by: William Coopman (past fellow employee) on: Jul 30, 2015
