  • Paul was a treasured friend of my dad, Wilfrid Rougeau and my mom, Laurette. Along with Celine, his wife, they made my parents feel a part of our parish community as at Coeur Immaculate. Paul taught dad how to golf, make wine and have fun after re-locating in Winnipeg after so many years of life in the Los Angeles, California area. Paul and Celine offered my parents so much of their time and love. May you be at peace, Paul and enjoy your reward in heaven. Thanks for your friendship to me too! Blessings of peace!
