He was predeceased by his parents, John and Josephine Vandersteen; siblings: Bert, Neil, Margaret and Ben; father and mother-in-law, Joseph and Esther Hudon; as well as numerous sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews and cousins. Holding him in loving memory is his wife of almost 69 years, Claire (Hudon), children: Ida, Wayne (Janice), Ernie (Dawn), Anne-Marie (John), Geraldine (Leonard), Marcel, Ramona (Clarence), Francois (Aline), Simon (Judy), and Imelda (Glen); 22 grandchildren, 26 great- grandchildren and two great-great- grandchildren. He was from a family of 12 and married into a family of 13, so he was uncle to many nieces and nephews. Dad was born in Estevan, Saskatchewan. In the spring of 1939 their family moved back to Fisher Branch. He was quite young when he started working for other farmers to help support his family. In June of 1953 he married Mom and they built a home with a mixed farming operation where they milked cows for years. Dad spent lots of time with his family and enjoyed teaching his children how to work on the farm and how to play. He loved the farm and always had horses in his life. He had numerous heavy horse teams and was able to go with Mom on wagon treks, making many friends along the way. After he retired, he took up golfing, fishing both in summer and winter, and Mom and Dad did lots of dancing. When they moved to Winnipeg in 2003, he made more friends and played cards and pool almost every day until last fall. He was honest, kind and considerate. His handshake was as good as a contract. He was a part of the Knights of Columbus and volunteered many hours in the community for various causes. He was always willing to help someone in need, whether it be for cows calving, combining, raking or bringing clothing and food up to the reserve. He will be lovingly remembered by all those who knew him. A special thanks to Dr. McElhoes for the great care over the years and to the Palliative Care team. Also a big thanks to Mom and the siblings who took such fabulous care of him in his last days. It allowed him to pass away in peace at home surrounded by those he loved. A Celebration of Life will take place on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. at the Immaculate Conception Church in Fisher Branch. Burial immediately following. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dad's memory to Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of choice. Due to current new variants of Covid; family has requested wearing a mask in church. -- As published in Winnipeg Free Press on May 14, 2022 Reported as having been published or sourced on or about 2022/05/14.
