Peacefully Henry passed away on June 2, 2013. He was born on May 5, 1937 in St. Boniface. Henry married his beloved wife Evelyne (Gayet) in 1964 and they settled in Windsor Park where they raised their family. As a young man, Henry worked for T. Eaton Co. where he stayed for 21 years. He then went on to work for the St. Boniface School Division for 24 years as a head custodian. Dad enjoyed working outdoors and he and mom enjoyed spending time at the lake in St. Laurent. They also enjoyed travelling, especially to his ‘favourite spot’ in Hawaii.
Henry will be remembered by his wife of 49 years Evelyne (Gayet), his daughter Paulette (Gary Huggins), his son Robert (Joanne) and his 5 little angels, granddaughters Gabrielle, Sara, Marissa (Huggins) and Alyssa and Cayla (Gauthier). He is also survived by his brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Paul and Marianne (Bellavance) and his sister Alice (Desrochers).
Dad will always be remembered for his sense of humour and his devotion to his family. He was always supportive and proud of his children and his granddaughters and he loved hearing about what ‘the girls’ were up to.
