PAUL BOULET (1931 2007) It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Paul Boulet, husband, father and grand-père at age 75 years on Friday, October 19, 2007 at the St. Boniface Hospital. Paul will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 55 years Eliane (née Bosc), son Michel (Rita), son Luc, daughter Brigitte Paillé (René), son Denis (Leah), his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He also leaves to mourn his sisters, Eugenie Vincent, Gabrielle Vincent (Josephat), Antoinette Vincent (René), Maria Dupont (Ernest) and brother Victor (Ella) as well as brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and friends. He is now reunited with his parents Elzéar and Rose-Alma (Wilcott), his siblings Alice, Wilfred, Roland, and Olivier, several in-laws, nieces and nephews. Paul was born November 17, 1931 in Saint-Georges, Manitoba where he grew up and attended school. He started working for the paper company in Pine Falls, Manitoba at the age of 15 years. Following in his father's footsteps he worked as a blacksmith at Camp Eight shoeing horses. Eventually he moved into the mill and gained experience in a variety of departments before retiring as a welder in early 1990. The important things in Dad's life were his wife, his kids, extended family, friends and community. As busy a man that he was, he was always there and made time for them all. He had many interests hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, playing cards and playing in his shop were among his favorites. Paul was always good for entertaining us with his quick-wit and humour. A special thank you is extended to the St. Boniface Hospital staff for their amazing care and compassion given to Paul and his family. Funeral mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, October 24, 2007 at Saint-Georges Roman Catholic Church at 2:00 p.m. Prayers will start at 1:30 p.m. Merci pour les bons souvenirs. Nous savons que le Seigneur s'occupe de toi, comme tu t'occupais de nous. Au revoir. On t'aime bien gros!
