Raymond Le Poder

Peacefully with his children at his side, at the Portage District General Hospital, on Wednesday April 27, 2005, Mr.  Raymond Le Poder of Oakville, Manitoba passed away at the age of 75 years.

He was predeceased by his wife Doris (nee Yawny); his parents Joseph Le Poder and Celine (nee Tichit); his in-laws Peter and Julia Yawny; one brother-in-law Michael; and by one niece Theresa Mankewicz.

He leaves to mourn his passing two children:  Shirley and Norman; one son-in-law Ed Thomas; two grandchildren: Adam and Alicia; one sister Renée Richard; niece Judy (Glen) Murphy, brother-in-law and sister-in-law John and Anne Mankewicz.  He was also an uncle to his two nieces Nicole (Fred), Cathy (Denis), and great-uncle to Matthew, Jared, Evan and Daniel.

It is with great sadness, that Dad has requested no formal funeral service.  In celebration of his life we invite family and friends to join us at the Headingley Community Centre, 5353 Portage Ave (across from Nick's Inn) on Sunday May 1, 2005  from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Coffee and dainties will be served during a "Come and Go" time, sharing memories and stories with our family.  Cremation has taken place.  Dad will be laid to rest with Mom on their Anniversary, during a private family burial in May.

In lieu of flowers, donations for Prostrate Research, may be made to CancerCare, 675 McDermot Ave, Room 1160, Winnipeg, MB  R3E 0V9.
