May 28, 1932 – May 5, 2015
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Romeo Gibeau of Edmonton, at the age of 82 years. A kind and gentle man, Dad was a devoted husband and father, beloved grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, and highly respected member of the Edmonton business community as a Chartered Accountant for some 40 years.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 61 years, Gertie (nee Meunier), their children: son Robert (Mirella) and grandchildren Vanessa and Alex; son Larry (Kerry) and grandchildren Janet (Greg) Horton, Sarah Gibeau, Debbie (Chris) Ciazynski, Linda (Ron Laverdiere); daughter Elaine (George) Campbell and grandchildren Kevin (Amanda), Laura, and Diana (Daniel Lint); son Dennis and grandchildren Jesse, Daniel, and Zachary; son Claude (Linda) and grandchildren Jacqueline (Tom Lemoine) and Rachel; three great-grandchildren Darren and Alex Horton and Grace Campbell; siblings Olive (Hans) Vest, Maurice (Colleen), Fernand (Barb), Eugene (Blanche) and Joe (Sue); as well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Romeo was predeceased by his parents Hector and Julma Gibeau, and sisters Rita Prefontaine and Estelle Gibeau.
A gathering for prayer will be held at Connelly-McKinley Funeral Home, 10011 - 114 Street, on Monday May 11, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Andrew Church, 12810 – 111 Avenue on Tuesday May 12, 2015 at 10:30 a.m.

Some thoughts I wanted to say about my father. Dad was part of everyone's lives. Not one celebration of achievement or milestone was ever missed. The pride he took in his family shone brightly in his eyes as he watched his children and grandchildren's lives unfold. His love of nature and the mountains reflected in his person; kind and gentle but with a strength of character that could always be relied upon.

So sad to hear of Romeo passing. He was a wonderful, kind, gentle and intelligant man. Always enjoyed our conversations, and his outlook. I learned many things from Romeo over the years. He has left a wonder legacy for his family. I feel very blessed to have known him. I will miss him.

We are very sad at this loss. Gentle and kind are just two words but cover a huge number of events both big and small where he demonstrated their meaning.
We miss him.
