Please share a memory of Germain to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Born in Dunrea, Manitoba on December 28, 1932, he passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends on April 26, 2013. Germain is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Laurette, his daughter Cheryl (John Alexander), his son Ron (Sandra), his grand-children Kevin, Shannon Campbell, Rachelle, Deanna (Jeff Chêne), Keri and his sisters Anita Légaré and Mariette (Fred DeJong).
