WILLY FOUBERT
May 19, 1928 – October
26, 2012
It
is with heavy hearts that the family of Willy Foubert announces his passing.
Willy
is survived by his children Ken (Lil) and Carol (Dave); grandchildren, Steven
and Laura brother Eddy (Florence) and many extended family and friends. He was
predeceased by his parents Anna and Frank and his wife Rose.
In
his younger years, Willy was as light on his feet as Fred Astaire and that is
how he met his dear wife Rose. He worked for many years at McGavins Bakery as a
shipper/receiver where he was valued by all. As many can attest, dad was
mischievous and there are many stories such as him siphoning beer from his
family’s brewery barrels, to being accident prone and getting his head stuck in
an elevator. Following retirement, Willy started recycling with his brother
Eddy and they became avid scrap metal collectors, long before it was considered
resourceful. His family was his pride and joy and he was always generous with
his time, his advice and support.
We
consider ourselves fortunate to have had such a loving and kind mentor, father,
papa, brother and friend.
In
compliance with Dad’s wishes, a private family gathering will be held at his Interment.
We
extend a special thank-you to the care teams at the Grace and the St. Boniface
Hospital for their vigilance in assisting Willy throughout this difficult
period and also to his many dear friends at the Kiwanis Courts who made every
day an enjoyable adventure.
In
lieu of flowers, family and friends may choose to donate to a charity of
choice, or to take a moment to share a special memory of Willy. We have lost a
kind and gentle man, one with a little twinkle in his eye.
“We
love you Dad – Papa, miss you dearly and will cherish your memories.”
