Armand Jobin

On October 29, 2002 with his family at his side, our son, brother, uncle and friend peacefully slipped away to be with the Lord at the age of 63 years.

He leaves to mourn his beloved mother Jeanne, his brothers Arthur, Henri (Gisele), Georges (Gisele) of St Claude, Maurice (Susan), Ernest and sister Cecile Deurbrouck (Robert) of Winnipeg, sisters-in-law Lucette and Judy of Winnipeg.  He was a special uncle to many nieces and nephews.  Close to his heart are:  Joanne and Darryl (Simone, Melissa, Demi, Ashley, Kelli); Rick and Jocelyn (Rene and Joelle); Dianne and Gino (Carmelo); Louanne and Mike (Evan and Nolan); Raymond and Cheryl (Eric, Christian and Vincent); Ronald, Janelle,Nicolas, Jacqueline and Suzanne.  He was predeceased by his father Albert (1993), brothers Albert Jr (1996) and Lucien (2001).

He was an avid horse and nature lover and recently discovered the joy of working with wood.  For 45 years, when he worked for the St Claude Creamery (later known as Beatrice, then Parmalat) he never missed a day of work until his recent illness.  Armand, through patience and guidance, encouraged many friends and co-workers to follow their dreams and live to their potential.  One of his favorite sayings was that "strangers were friends he had not met".

At his request, cremation has taken place.  There will be a celebration of his life on Saturday, November 2 at 10 am at the St Claude Catholic Church.  Interment at the Parish Cemetery at a late date

One of the most exciting times of the year for Armand was the annual get-together at the cabin.  At his request, a celebration of his life will take place in early October, 2003.  Please plan to attend.

If so desired, donations may be made to the St Claude or Portage Palliative Care, or to a charity of your choice.

Adam's Funeral Home of Notre Dame de Lourdes, Manitoba in care of arrangments.
