Maurice Robert Roger Joseph BOURBONNIERE

September 20, 1937-March 10, 2002 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Maurice, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. Maurice leaves to cherish his memory, Adeline, his wife of 41 years; and his three children and their families, Guy (Dana), Michel (Linda) and Lynne (Ian) Samson. Papa will be lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, Jade, Josh, Lane, Joseph, Lise, Justin, Evan and Emma. He will be greatly missed by his sister, Charlotte, and his brother, Denis (Arlette); Jeannine (Noel), Yvette (Gerry), Alfred (Marilyn), Harvey (Bert), Marcel (Yvonne) and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Born and raised in St. Boniface, he was a long time member of the Club LaVerendrye, where he bowled regularly with his friends. What meant most to him was his family, and the wonderful times he shared with them. We will miss his outrageous sense of humour, and his zest for life. He brought laughter and joy to the lives of many friends. He absolutely loved his work and was tremendously dedicated to it. He considered his customers and co-workers among his best friends. As well, Maurice dedicated much of his life to volunteering within the Catholic Church and community. The family wishes to extend a warm and sincere thank you to the St. Boniface Emergency Health Care professionals for their heroic efforts and compassion. A celebration of Papa's life will be held at the Holy Rosary Church, 510 River Avenue on Thursday, March 14, 2002 at 1:00 p.m. Donations may be made in Maurice's memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, 301-352 Donald Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba. You are my love, my heart, my life Together always and forever Our life was better because of you Until we meet again. You are sadly missed and forever remembered. You are our Hero!
