ALBERT
(POM POM) BRUNEAU
It is with heavy hearts we announce Al’s
passing at the age of 76 years on October 10. 2014 after a long, courageous
battle with colon/rectal cancer.
Left to mourn Al are his wife Heather;
children Rene, Florence, Yvonne, Stacy, Louise, Greg; as well as several
grandchildren; and great grandchildren.
Al was born in St. Boniface on April 13,
1938 and grew up in the Lac Du Bonnet area before moving to Winnipeg. He worked
hard at many jobs all of his life before becoming a Pembina Trails School
Division courier from 1981 to 2012.
After retiring, Al kept busy as a lunchroom supervisor at Acadia Junior
High.
When Al wasn`t working, you`d find him
visiting his friends, former coworkers, or those working at many Fort Richmond
businesses. You couldn’t go anywhere with Al without running into someone he
knew. He also loved music and to meet
new people, which led him to ballroom dancing and his wife Heather. Al also
believed in keeping his family ties strong. He rarely missed the chance to
spend time with his children and grandchildren.
On Saturday, October 18,
2014 Al’s funeral service will be held at 2:30 p.m. in St. John’s Cathedral, 135 Anderson Avenue
near Main Street and the Red River.
In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire,
donations in Al’s name may be made to Siloam Mission, Main Street Project,
CancerCare Manitoba or the Riverview Health Centre Foundation.
Our family would like to thank the warm
and caring Palliative Homecare staff, particularly nurses Marianne N. and
Joanne, as well as Riverview Health Centre staff, who allowed him to die with
dignity.
