He is survived by his wife Reine La France, daughter Susan, son David (Judy) and his grandchildren, Jamie, Devin, Ryan and Megan.

What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants, in sap and leaf and wood,
In love of home and loyalty
And far-cast thought of civic good-
His blessing on the neighbourhood
Who in the hollow of His hand
Holds all the growth of all our land-
A nation's growth from sea to sea
Stirs in his heart who plants a tree.

Angele Maria Barbara Van Cauwenberghe (Van De Kerckhove)
Peacefully, at the Victoria Hospital in Winnipeg, Angele passed away suddenly on October 2, 2002 at the age of 85.
Left to mourn her passing are her sons Raymond (Ria) and Donald (Jill) of Winnipeg and daughter-in-law Irene of Toronto; two grandchildren, Christine (Chris Manilla) of Winnipeg and Sonia (Kyle Mizak) of Calgary; sisters-in-law Lea Van De Kerckhove of St. Rose Du Lac, Mary Van De Kerckhove of Treherne, Margaret Van Cauwenberghe of Somerset and brother-in-law Maurice Van Cauwenberghe of Pilot Mound.
Angele was predeceased by her parents Theophile and Sidonie Van De Kerckhove; her husband Arcel, son Roger, grandson David; brothers Armand, Maurice and Rene and sisters Irene Van Den Dorpe and Anna Van Den Bussche.
Mom was born on November 28, 1916 in St. Alphonse Manitoba. She began school at the age of three after attending a school party with her brothers and sisters. Having completed grade eight by the age of eleven she was forced to end her schooling because it meant that she would have to travel to Somerset to attend high school. Since that was not feasible she was forced to end a phase of life that she genuinely enjoyed. This left a lasting impression on her life that was the influence to instill the value of education on her three sons. An influence that was to our benefit and for which we are forever thankful.
Mom married Arcel Van Cauwenberghe on Oct. 30, 1941 in Somerset, Manitoba. They farmed on the original Van Cauwenberghe homestead in Swan Lake until 1971. They moved to Winnipeg on Kylemore Avenue in 1968 in semi-retirement. The Belgian Club became a major social center where they were able to play bien (Belgium card game) and Belgium bowling with their Flemish friends. Mom moved to the Delta Manor in 1990 where she continued a close relationship with Flemish friends. She moved to the Rosewood Village in September of 2001 to access the supportive living service provided by that fine institution.
A Mass of the Christian Burial will be held on Monday, October 7 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church in Swan Lake with celebrant Father Firmin Michiels. Interment to follow in the parish cemetery.
We give special thanks to the staff and residents of Juniper House at the Rosewood Village who strived to add quality to Mom's last year of life. Thanks to Dr. J.R. Hayward who looked after mom with genuine care and concern for the last 10 years.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Angele's memory to a charity of your choice.
