Robert Maurice LaBossière
Paisiblement, suivant une courte maladie, est décédé Robert Maurice LaBossière à l’hôpital Notre Dame à l’âge de 95 ans. Robert est né à St-Léon le 9 février, 1912, le 4ième de 12 enfants de Théobald LaBossière et Marie Moreau.
Robert laisse dans le deuil son épouse bien-aimée de 64 ans Hermance (LaBossière), ses enfants Sylvia (Denis) Bérard, Marie-Paule (Borden) Petriw, Roland (Suzanne), Clara (Robert) Lauzé, Paul-Émile (Claudette), Jean (Bonnie), Claude (Anne) et Francis (Diane). Il laisse aussi 23 petits enfants, 22 arrière petits enfants, une sœur, Marthe Grenier, et plusieurs belles-sœurs, beau-frères, neveux et nièces.
Robert entreprit plusieurs métiers au cours de sa longue carrière : fermier, mécanique, constructeur, camionneur et toîlier. Robert et Hermance se sont mariés le 9 février, 1943 et fondèrent une famille de huit enfants. La plupart des années de famille se sont déroulées à St-Léon avec une courte durée à Edmonton. Robert chanta dans les chorales d’église au-delà de 52 ans, dont la majorité chantés en latin. Tôt après la retraite, nos parents ont joui de leurs voyages hivernals au Texas pour plusieurs années. Robert jouissait beaucoup des événements et rencontres familiales. Il a surtout joui des rencontres des LaBossière en 2001 et 2003 à St-Léon. Robert avait une grande fierté dans son héritage francophone et a légué à ses enfants une grande foi. Dans les derniers mois, son niveau de santé l’a obligé de faire du Foyer Notre-Dame son chez soi.
La famille aimerait souhaiter leur grande appréciation au personnel et médecins du Foyer Notre-Dame, de l’hôpital Notre-Dame ainsi que de l’hôpital Lorne Memorial pour leurs excellents soins et leur compassion.
La messe de la résurrection sera célébrée lundi, le 25 juin, 2007 à 10h30 en l’église de Saint-Léon par le père Kevin McGee, petit neveu de Robert.
Les dons en mémoire de Robert peuvent être faits à la fondation de recherche de l’hôpital Saint-Boniface (recherche cardiaque).
Robert Maurice LaBossière
Peacefully, after a brief illness, Robert Maurice LaBossière passed away at Notre Dame Hospital at 95 years of age. Born in St. Léon on February 9, 1912, the 4th of 12 children of Théobald Labossière and Marie Moreau.
He leaves to mourn his passing Hermance LaBossière, his wife of 64 years, his children Sylvia (Denis) Bérard, Marie-Paule (Borden) Petriw, Roland (Suzanne), Clara (Robert) Lauzé, Paul-Emile (Claudette), Jean (Bonnie), Claude (Anne), and Francis (Diane). He also leaves 23 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren, one sister, Marthe Grenier, and numerous sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nephews and nieces.
Robert undertook many occupations during his long career: farmer, mechanic, construction labourer, trucker, and sheet metal worker. Mom & Dad were married on February 9, 1943 and raised 8 children mostly in St. Léon with a brief stay in Edmonton. He sang in the church choir for over 52 years, most of these in Latin. Following retirement, Mom and Dad enjoyed spending a few winter months in Texas for several years. He enjoyed attending family events and gatherings. A highlight was attending the 2001 and 2003 Labossière reunions in St. Léon. Dad took pride in his French heritage and left a legacy of his strong faith with his family. In the last few months, Dad’s failing health led to a move to Foyer Notre Dame.
The family would like to extend their sincerest thanks and appreciation to the staff and physicians at Foyer Notre Dame, Notre Dame Hospital and Lorne Memorial Hospital for their excellent and compassionate care.

John Ernest Badiou
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our Dad on Friday, January 12, 2007 at the young age of 68 years at St. Mary's Hospital, Camrose, Alberta with his family by his side.
Anyone who met Dad would agree that he was a character, soft hearted, kind, generous and he liked to meet and talk to everyone. He was also an avid country music listener and dancer.
As kids we remember times spent with Dad fishing, camping and traveling to different places in Canada and America as we followed him during his career as a pipeline welder. With patience and the goodness of his heart, Dad taught us our life lessons.
John will always be loved and remembered by his daughter Claudette (Vlad) of Winnipeg; two sons Kelly (Tammy) and Richard (Hazel) both of Calgary; their mother Donna; four grandchildren; one step-granddaughter and one step-great granddaughter. John will also be missed by his six brothers: Marcel (Georgette), Gabriel (Helene), Hubert, Fernand, Louis, and Henri (Jocelyne); two sisters: Marie-Ange (Alphonse Lesage) and Lorraine Demare; two sisters-in-law: Renée and Alice; and many nieces, nephews and friends.
John was predeceased by his first wife Yvonne (nee Zerff); his parents Jacques and Jeanne (nee Dacquay) and brothers Raymond and Andre.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated in the Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church on Saturday, May 19, 2007 at 2 p.m. preceded by Prayers and Memorial Tribute at 1:30. Interment to follow in the Parish Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Canadian Cancer Society.
