Francois (Frank) Gregoire Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 7, 2013.
FRANÇOIS JOSEPH GREGOIRE (FRANK )
SEPTEMBER 20, 1929 – MAY 5, 2013


With great sadness we announce the passing of "Our Angel" Frank. He left this world peacefully with his loving family by his side.

He will be lovingly remembered by his "sweetie" Rita Baril and her family which he considered his own. His siblings: Albertine, Leopaldine, Ralph, Pat, Jeanne (Lorne) , Eva, (Knud), Simone, Bibiane, Maurice (Evelyne), Denis (Sharon), Armande, Angele ( Roman), Marcel (Linda) and numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

He was born and raised in Lorette MB., and at age 17 he ventured out to Ontario. Living in Toronto for the majority of his life, he took great pride in his craftsmanship as a plasterer. He also enjoyed time at the cottage, fishing and tending his flower gardens. Returning back to Winnipeg in 2006 he made a home for himself and his "little girl Tygar" in St. Norbert.

Cremation has taken place. A mass will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday May 11th at L'Eglise St. Eugène, 1007 St. Mary's Rd.

Interment will take place at St. Norbert Cemetery following the reception.

Family would like to thank the staff of 4S at Victoria General Hospital for their special care.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation 6 Donald St. Winnipeg MB R3L 0K6 or to the Winnipeg Humane Society 45 Hurst Way Winnipeg MB R3T 0R3.

It was with much sadness, I read of Frank's passing but at the same time a wave of memories cross my mind. We had the very good fortune of knowing Frank as "the cottage neighbours" for 50 years. Growing up at the cottage Frank always took the time to talk gently to us, give us fishing tips and often we would go with him and my father rock hunting the sideroads from Frank's truck to find just the right rocks for the fireplace Frank built and the rock walls they both took great pride in. I am happy Frank had the opportunity to return to Winnipeg and family. He was a great friend of my father's and our family. We miss him but will not forget him. With sympathy, from "the Verdons" - Sandra, Paul, Jean, Paul Hindle and Karen Weatherby.

I will miss your smiling face and kind voice at all future family gatherings. I am glad you moved back to Winnipeg, so that we got to spend some time together, just had hoped to have more of it.With love, your neice.
