Dad would want everyone to remember him in their own way, in their own time.Publish Date: Mar 17, 2012DENIS LEO BRUNEAU 1951 – 2012 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Dad, Denis Bruneau on Friday, March 9, 2012 at St. Boniface Hospital. Left to forever cherish Denis’ memory is his beloved wife Gloria, of 40 years of marriage; sons, Sean and Michael; grandson Donavin; mother Germaine; sister Doris (Jim); brother Rick; sister-in-law Angela (Greg); niece Lynne (Frank); nephews, Nicholas, Joel, Glenn and Mark; as well as numerous other relatives. He was predeceased by his father Leo. Dad loved the outdoors. He was at peace when he could go fishing and listen to the sounds of nature. He was content walking the bush with his hunting buddies on their annual trips. Dad enjoyed working in his vegetable garden and around the yard. Whatever he could do that kept him outside he did and right beside him was his best friend and constant companion, his dearly loved dog, Sasha. She misses you Dad. Dad had a sense of humour and loved to tease (especially Mom). He was friendly and outgoing and was always willing to help out someone in need. He had a mischievous side to him which we, of course, inherited along with his quick wit. Dad could always make Mom laugh even when she was trying not to. We will try our best to do the same. We will cherish all our memories of you, Dad. We would like to extend sincere thanks to Jeff for his friendship and support which meant a lot to Dad and Mom. A special thanks also to Dr. Coates, the nurses and health care aides on A6 South, and everyone on staff that gave that little extra to make Dad more comfortable and ensured his final days were as painless and peaceful as possible. At Dad’s request, cremation has taken place and no other arrangements will be made at this time. Dad would want everyone to remember him in their own way, in their own time. We all love you Dad, and we all miss you.Publish Date: Mar 13, 2012Publish Date: Mar 13, 2012   As published in the Winnipeg Free Press on March 13, 2012
