ROGER PHANEUF 1936 - 2015 Entouré de sa famille, Roger nous a quittés le 22 septembre 2015 à l'Hôpital Saint-Boniface. Il laisse dans le deuil son épouse, Lucille (née Joubert); sa fille, Chantal (Damian Purdy); ses deux petits-enfants, Eléanore et Loic; son frère, Paul (Lucille); son beau-frère Amédée Joubert (Rose); ses belles-soeurs, Aurore Goulet et Lorraine Joubert; ainsi que plusieurs neveux, nièces, parents et amis. Pendant près de 50 ans, Roger a fait carrière comme barbier avec son frère jumeau, Paul. Ils ont leur propre salon de barbier, boulevard Provencher, où les deux frères cultivent une clientèle fidèle dont plusieurs deviendront, au cours des années, de bons amis. Roger était connu et apprécié pour sa générosité, sa patience et son tempérament facile. Il s'entendait bien avec tout le monde qu'il rencontrait et était toujours prêt à rendre service. Roger aimait les rencontres de famille et, avec Lucille, ils accueillaient souvent les membres de leur famille élargie chez eux. Pour le début de chaque année scolaire, en septembre, Roger achetait une fleur pour sa fille Chantal, une tradition qu'il a poursuivie avec sa petite-fille, Eléanore. Sa foi en Dieu et l'appui de sa famille et de ses amis dévoués, entre autres Maurice, Norbert et son frère Paul ont été d'un grand soutien durant sa maladie. La famille tient à remercier sincèrement le Dr. Kevin Coates et le personnel de l'hôpital pour les soins attentifs et compatissants durant son séjour à l'hôpital. Une messe des funérailles sera célébrée le samedi 26 septembre à 10h en l'église de Saint-Martyrs-Canadiens, 289 avenue Dussault. Ceux qui souhaite exprimer leur sympathie peuvent faire un don è la mémoire de Roger è Développement et Paix, 1425 boulevard René-Lévesque, 3ème étage, Montréal QC, H3G 9Z9. Ceux qui le désirent peuvent envoyer leur condoléances au www.desjardinsfuneralchapel.ca ROGER PHANEUF 1936 - 2015 Surrounded by the love of his family, Roger passed away on September 22, 2015 at St. Boniface General Hospital. He will forever be loved by his wife Lucille and his daughter Chantal (Damian Purdy), as well as his precious grandchildren, Eléanore and Loic. Roger leaves behind to cherish his memory his twin brother Paul (Lucille), brother-in-law Amédée Joubert (Rose), and sisters-in-law Aurore Goulet and Lorraine Joubert, as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends that he dearly loved. For nearly 50 years, Roger and Paul's barbershop on Provencher Boulevard was a mainstay of the city's Francophone community. Frequented by everyone, some even say that Roger knew more St. Boniface secrets than the parish priest at confessional. But as a quiet, honest, and loyal man, everyone knew their secrets were safe with him. Roger was widely-regarded for his generosity, his patience, and his easy temperament; he got along with everyone he met and was always willing to lend a hand where needed. During his last illness, Roger found great comfort in his faith in God and his family, as well as the love and support of his devoted friends, Maurice, Norbert, and his brother Paul amongst many others. The family wishes to thank Dr. Kevin Coates and the staff of St. Boniface General Hospital for their attentive and compassionate care. A funeral mass will be held on Saturday, September 26 at 10:00 a.m. at Saint-Martyrs-Canadiens Parish, 289 Dussault Avenue. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Roger's memory to Development and Peace, 1425 Boulevard René-Lévesque, 3rd floor, Montréal QC, H3G 9Z9.
