LEON R. KENNY We are sorry to announce the passing of one of St. Norbert's prominent citizens. Peacefully on December 11, 2017, Léon passed away with his family by his side at Taché Nursing Home, at the age of 97. Léon was predeceased by his wife, Cécile (née Dorge); siblings, Irène, John, Angelina, Soeur Marie Jeanne, Eugène and Yvette. He will be missed by his brother Dennis (Léontine); brother-in-law Albert (Thérèse); sister-in-law Alma; children, Eugène (Patti), Roland, Denise (John), Raymond (Susan) and Mark (Debra); grandchildren, Adam, Emily, Marielle Ziegler (Frank), Sara, Lucien and Pascal, as well as many friends made along the way. When he wasn't busy being a loving husband and father, Léon worked as a mechanic at the University of Manitoba. He had many skills and hobbies including gardening, inventing and building. Though he never finished his perpetual motion machine, his family benefited from his creativity and skilled woodworking.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Kenny’s passing. We met the Kenny’s many years ago when we purchased their family home. While we have had the privilege of raising our family at 843 Ste. Therese people still refer to our home as the Kenny home and we are good with that. We enjoyed having family members stop by from time to time to see the latest update or work we were doing. In more recent years Mr. Kenny was happy to sit in the truck and drive around the block to have a look at the back yard where he spent so much of his time. The Kenny’s were appreciated and are fondly remembered in the neighbourhood. Rest Easy Mr. Kenny. Robin and Greg Reid and family - Posted by: Greg and Robin Reid (Friends) on: Dec 19, 2017
