Leo was born April 29, 1931 on the farm near Cypress River. He spent the most of the next 90 years growing up, living, working, being married, raising a family and taking care of the farm. He and his siblings used horses to travel to Cypress Valley School. He quit after Gr. 8 because the teachers were getting too good looking. We loved his dry sense of humour and will miss it. Dad enjoyed country music, especially Hank Williams. Dad loved to farm, mostly grain, the animals were more Mom’s thing. He loved his John Deere tractors. He loved to hunt with his brothers, brothers-in-law and friends, then with his sons, son in-laws and with his grandchildren. He shot his last buck at the age of 87. He even went out for a day last November at the age of 90. He loved to just be busy and take care of his farm, family and Mona’s cooking, especially her bread. What history we have lost. He will be greatly missed.

A Graveside Service will be held on Saturday May 14, 2022 at 1:00 pm at the St. Alphonse Cemetery, St. Alphonse, MB, with Father Vincent Lusty officiating.
