Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCAMILLE JOSEPH BOUCHARD July 9, 1933 - January 20, 2017 It is with deep sadness that the family announces the passing of Camille, age 83, at Actionmarguerite St. Boniface on January 20, 2017. He will be missed by his loving wife of 57 years, Grace; sons, Jeff (Kim), Brian (Nicole); daughter Stacy and grandchildren, Brady, Riley, Camdyn and Jayde. He is also survived by his sister Lorraine; brother Gabe and sister-in-law Bertha. He was predeceased by his parents, Yvonne and Darky; brothers, Roland, Rene, Leo and sister Lucille. He worked 31 years for Canada Post and his passion was sports, especially hockey, fastball and baseball. He was inducted into the Manitoba Softball Hall of Fame as a player and Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame as a coach. He taught and coached his three children throughout the years and carried on the tradition with his four grandchildren, his pride and joy, without being their official "coach". He volunteered countless hours at Champlain Community Club for many years. Family meant the world to Cam. He sacrificed his own personal needs for his wife and children. He was a calm, soft spoken man who gained the respect of many friends throughout his life. He taught his children to have a great work ethic, whether in life or on the sports field. He enjoyed life with the basic necessities of laughter, family, friends, food and a few rum and cokes. One of his last wishes was for the Yanks and Habs to be champions once again. The family would like to thank the staff at Actionmarguerite for their compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Actionmarguerite St. Boniface, Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba or Kidsport. In keeping with Cam's wishes, cremation has taken place and a memorial service celebrating his life will be held on Tuesday, January 24, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 4588 Roblin Blvd. E.J. COUTU & CO. FUNERAL DIRECTORS 680 Archibald Street 204-253-5086 ejcoutu.coma

I would like to offer my condolences Aunty Grace to you and your family. In my earlier years I always remember watching Uncle Cam playing baseball. Also there was the day we came to your house I believe was Christmas and Uncle Cam and Carl both got the same sweater for a present and Uncle Cam said "I like your sweater" and we thought that was so funny. Take care and I am sure there are a lot of stories you will have to share amongst you and your kids. Our prayers are with you. - Posted by: Sherry And Carl Orcutt (Niece ) on: Jan 21, 2017

In memory of Cam... Dear Grace... We were deeply saddened to hear of Cam's passing. We have been thinking of you lots. Our hearts go out to you and your family. We reminisce about our sports connections and having such a great crowd of long-time friends who were always there for support, laughs, and love. Cam will be missed. Due to a trip we will won't be with you at the memorial service but our circle of friends will represent us well and pass on condolences. Knowing that we have been a part of the Bouchard world is knowing that we have been truly blessed. Hugs and love from Gord and Brucie - Posted by: Gord & Brucie Kusmack (Friends) on: Jan 21, 2017
