DENYS GILLES PRUD'HOMME August 16, 1942 - March 21, 2006 Serenely at his home on March 21, 2006, our dearest Denys, with his loving wife Lillian at his side, left us to pursue his well-deserved eternal rest. Denys was born, raised and educated in Saint Boniface. His passion for music was fuelled at an early age by the mentorship of his father, Maurice Prud'homme, choir master and organist at Saint Boniface Cathédrale. His appreciation for music was matched by his culinary talents and even surpassed by his knowledge and ability in a variety of areas including electronics, craftsmanship, design and a host of other artistic pursuits. He was truly a renaissance man whose creative spirit constantly inspired him to find solutions to every challenge which life presented. The home he built is a tribute to his appreciation of beauty and excellence in all things. He was a deeply spiritual person and his loving nature was a constant source of support to his wife, family and many friends. He loved life and lived it to the fullest. Denys has left us too soon and will be greatly missed by all those whose lives he touched. He is survived by his loving wife Lillian; his brother Jean and family; his sister Therese and family; as well as the Paquette family. He was predeceased by his parents, Maurice and Jeanne Prud'homme; his niece Janine Groot; and his father- and mother-in-law, Albert and Ida Paquette. Viewing will begin at 9:30 a.m. at St. Boniface Cathédrale, 190 avenue de la Cathédrale, followed by a funeral mass at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 25, 2006. La Musique La nuit, quand sommeille l'angoisse et que la ville se cache dans la brume, oh! combien de musique est dispensée par Dieu et quels sons remplissent la terre! Qu'importent les tempêtes de la vie si tes roses pour moi fleurissent et flamboient! Qu'importent les larmes des humains quand le crépuscule rougeoie! Accepte, ô toi qui régis l'univers, par-delà le sang, les tourments, la tombe, l'ultime et effervescente coupe de passion. des mains de ton humble vassal. Traduction DECCA 1986 LECLAIRE BROTHERS in care of arrangements. 775-2220.
