Noel was born and raised in Toutes-Aides, MB where he spent his childhood. After high school he joined Royal Bank in February 1964, and made it his career for 32 years until his retirement in May 1996. There he acquired many lasting friendships that were very dear to him. In spring of 1997, he joined Caisse Populaire Saint-Boniface, where he worked with wonderful people who were very special to him. Dad has always been dedicated to his profession. He will be remembered for his kind, gentle and caring nature, his deep devotion to his family and his great pride in his grandchildren. He was a humble individual loved by everyone who had the opportunity to meet him. His most precious memories were when he was surrounded by family and friends at the family cottage in Lac du Bonnet which became his retirement home. His hobbies were fishing, BBQing, carpentry/renovating and entertaining. In August 2003, Dad officially retired and moved to Lac du Bonnet eager to begin a new life at the cottage. Unfortunately, a few weeks into his retirement he was stricken with cancer and unable to fulfill his lifelong dream. The family wishes to thank the wonderful caring team of Palliative Care 3East, Riverview Health Centre, Dr. Garcia, and community palliative care nurse Myrna. Special thanks is extended to the personnel of Caisse Populaire who were so caring and supportive throughout his illness and to all his friends and relatives who made a difference in his life. Special gratitude goes out to Willis Kleebaum, brother-in-law and best friend who spent countless hours comforting Noel and was always by his side to cheer him up. Dad, we can finally take comfort in knowing you have found peace and tranquility in heaven. May this new home embrace you with eternal love and joy. In us, your spirit will live forever. We will miss you dearly. Funeral mass will be celebrated in the St. Martyrs-Canadiens Catholic Church, 289 Dussault in St. Boniface on Tuesday, June 8 at 2:00 p.m. with Fr. Armand LeGal and Fr. Gerald Labossiere officiating. Interment to follow in the Glen Lawn Cemetery. Flowers gratefully declined.

LOVINGLY REMEMBERED Arrangements entrusted to Adam's Funeral Home. 1-888-400-ADAM. Online condolences can be sent to www.afh.ca. Only the Best God saw you getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you And whispered "Come to Me". With tearful eyes we watched you And saw you pass away, And although we loved you dearly We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands to rest God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
