ALLAN EMILE RAGOT Peacefully on Friday, January 2, 2004, Allan Emile Ragot passed away at the St. Boniface Hospital with his wife and best friend Pat at his side. He was predeceased by his father Benoit in February 1981. Allan was born February 28, 1945 and always lived life to the fullest doing all the things he wanted to do, in his own memorable way. He was also intent on doing everything he did to the best of his ability from his 35 years at the CNR to his "hobby" of selling cars after his retirement for the companionship of friends and the enjoyment of the next big deal. Allan was generous to all those he knew and cared about and was always ready to offer his home to celebrate any occasion, and any occasion was a cause for celebration. Over the years Allan came to realize what was truly important and made huge efforts to enjoy his new found awareness of what those things were and those efforts will always be remembered by those whos lives were touched. In addition to his wife Pat, Allan is survived by his mother Rosalie (Didi) Ragot; daughter Alanna Ragot (Glen Sereacki) grandchildren, Erin Carlson, Zenon and Dennis Ragot-Sereacki; brother Albert; sisters, Lillian Pelletier (Marcel) and Lucille Giesbrecht (Frank) and numerous nieces and nephews and many friends. Pat would also like to thank his cousins, Pat, Rob and Andrew Chabidon and long time friend Jim Skinner for not only enabling Allan to enjoy his last hunting trip but making it his best trip ever, also Ron and Monica Gross and Yvonne Peters who with their love and support made a difficult journey easier to bear. The family would also like to thank the staff at the St. Boniface Hospital especially Carol Remple and the entire Palliative care staff ward for their kindness and care. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 8 at Holy Family Roman Catholic Church, 778 Archibald St. A private interment will follow at a later date at the St. Norbert Cemetery.
