LEO H. MARSH With sadness in our hearts the family of Leo H. Marsh announce his sudden passing on March 14, 2013 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Born April 16, 1940 in Poulton, Le Fylde England, Leo and his family immigrated to St. Paul L'Hermite (Repentigny) Canada in February 1952. He married the love of his life, Sylvia McHarg on February 11, 1961 and was blessed with 52 years of marriage. Leo was truly a loving and devoted husband, father and family man. Mourning his loss, wife Sylvia, daughter Debbie, son Michael (Catherine), son-in-law Galen Dixon, grandchildren Danine (Kyle) Munshaw, Daniel and Dylan Loisel, Jenna Marsh-Bright (Dallas Bright), Taylor and Megan Dixon, great-granddaughter Violet Bright, sister Mary Harrison (James Cruickshanks), brothers John (Shirley) and Ben (Claudette), sisters-in-law Gwen Marsh and Diana Jean McHarg and brother-in-law Daniel McHarg (Lori), numerous nieces and nephews.

He cherished "Summer in the Peg" when all his family were together again! He was involved, owned and operated Teak Furniture Centre in Sault Ste-Marie, Sudbury, Thunder Bay and Winnipeg for over 37 years. Leo was a very hard worker who never judged his friends or co-workers. A man with a strong character, Leo's presence was always apparent.

I just happened to come across Leo's Obituary by chance this evening. I knew the Marsh boys, and Sylvia and Diana when we were all teenagers in St. Paul L'Ermite. I would like to express my condolences to Sylvia on your loss, and to Ben. It's been many years but I have thought of you folks and remembered the good times back in St. Paul, with fond memories. Take care of yourselves. - Posted by: Ken Marvell (childhood friends many years ago) on: Aug 11, 2013

Our memories of Leo are very special. We met Leo at the Teak Furniture Centre in St. James a number of years ago. He was so gracious, caring and provided us with very knowledgeable information about the products he carried. We bought all our teak furniture at the store. Leo was fantastic and we will always keep him close in our hearts. Bless you Leo. We love and care always, Chuck & Ev - Posted by: Evelyn & Chuck Reid (acquaintance) on: Mar 22, 2013

Leo, you will be missed. I always enjoyed the wonderful stories you told when we were out riding. One of my favorite pictures was taken in the spring of 1997 after the big flood. You, Brad C, Ian (the military one) and myself down off Broadway. I always look at that and wonder what happen to "us". The story you told about you going to the mint and asking for a tour "because you use their product" always cracked me up. To the family, my condolences, but don't worry, Leo will be making friends and telling stories in a better place...Andrew Laschuk & Colleen Romance - Posted by: Andrew Laschuk (Friend from the Harley Hog Group) on: Mar 20, 2013

Suddenly our world has seemed to become a paler version of itself. Deeply saddened by the passing of Uncle Leo and am sending my thoughts and prayers to Auntie Sylvia, Mike, Debbie, Galen and your families. Leo lived his life in such a way, that his example made a lifelong positive impact on me. I will treasure the memories we've shared as he'll be greatly missed. Love to you all, Cindy xoxox. - Posted by: Cindy Walker (Niece) on: Mar 19, 2013
