Luc Gautron

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Luc Gautron on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at the Riverview Health Centre in Winnipeg at the age of 86.

Left to cherish Luc are his children; Ernest, Monique (Maurice) St. Pierre, Claudette Klaussen, Avelin (Hélène Molin), Omer, Aline (Maurice) Massinon, Yvonne, Marcelin; and his 24 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild and sister Blanche (Charles) Bourgeois.  He was predeceased by his wife Denise (1993), two young children Marcel and Joseph, and six siblings.

Luc was born August 13, 1922 in Haywood, Manitoba. He grew up in Haywood and eventually moved to Saint-Claude in 1962. Luc eventually moved back to Haywood in his retirement and spent his last months in Winnipeg. He was in the army and was also involved in farming, driving, working at the Co-op and repairing furniture and antiques. Some of his favorite hobbies were playing cards (cribbage), fishing and dealing in antiques. Luc had an extensive and long history with antiques. His story telling and sense of humor made him a joy to be around. A long life led to many friendships and close relationships with his family.
